No actual coverage of this ride, was announced 2 days ago, WP:CRYSTALBALL and hasn't even started construction. No opposition to recreation if and when it has significant coverage, otherwise it can be redirected and covered in the article CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:05, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

• What Sir Chrissymad says. The redirect is fine. The creator of the article should learn to take good advice. Drmies (talk) 20:09, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

If only we could post gifs here. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:12, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

• Redirect to Six Flags Magic Mountain. The "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements" part of WP:CRYSTALBALL particularly applies here. Bakazaka (talk) 21:34, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
• Redirect to Six Flags Magic Mountain. As per above and WP:TOOSOON. Computer40 «»(talk) 22:35, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
• Comment - In the future, the article should be nominated for deletion before blanking the page/redirecting it, unless the article passes the criteria for a speedy delete. Also, the creator of the article also made Copperhead Strike, which is another coaster that was just announced today. Computer40 «»(talk) 22:49, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

WP:BRD is a thing. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 13:07, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

• I would possibly omit the inclusion of Copperhead Strike since there already is vertical development and construction, via Roller Coaster DataBase. Adog104 ^{Talk to me} 23:16, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Construction is meaningless, only coverage matters. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 01:10, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Redirect would be fine, but mentioning construction in the first place then construed part of the point. Adog104 ^{Talk to me} 02:41, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

• Redirect and a redirect without an AfD discussion was completely proper. power~enwiki (π, ν) 17:40, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
• Comment I wasn't aware that you can redirect without AfD. I just thought it would cause more problems (like the edit warring that the original creator did). Computer40 «»(talk) 05:41, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
• Delete or redirect or draftify Major case of WP:CRYSTALBALLing. Thus WP:TOOSOON. Also as per the reasons given above. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:26, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
