GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Why is fall in upper case?

   "soft-opened" what does that mean?

   Soft-opened/opening is used when something opens on a temporary basis and is not opened to the public for very long. In this case we are talking about a ride. Usually, rides may open a few days before its scheduled official opening to make sure the ride systems run smoothly and that there are no glitches. If you look at the pictures in ref 3, you can see a sign that says that Test Track may in counter long wait times in order to make adjustments. In short, soft-opening means when an attraction opens for the first time to the public as a "sneak-peak" opportunity for only a few hours to a day. Hope this makes sense!--Dom497 (talk) 22:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

   " fanciful history" elaborate why it was fanciful

   I basically added quick and very brief summary of World's of Motion. Good enough?--Dom497 (talk) 00:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

   "After, new track was constructed outside of the building which is used as the high-speed test, work for Test Track continued inside the building. " strange wording

   "Unfortunately, the ride programming" - remove the first word

   "Jennifer Fickley-Baker" who is she?

   "Capability, Efficiency, Responsiveness and Power" not keen about the capitalization

   " The host, Bill McKim ( John Michael Higgins )" - The host, Bill McKim (John Michael Higgins), ..."

   In "Ride overview", I would cite every paragraph for clarification
