[edit] Accidents

I'm aware of a second accident on BTMR - I don't have enough information to post an edit on it.

[edit] "Trivia"

I really feel that the death should be taken out of the "trivia" section and be given its own "deaths" section, along with the second BTMR injury(death?). Putting the death under the guise of trivial fact is insulting. Anyone willing do it before me feel free. Lue3378 09:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Agreed - LordBleen 00:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

In addition, the trivia section seems to have NPOV issues.

^^ Agreed. This section sounds pretty outrageous: "A guest was killed on the Disneyland incarnation in 2003, purportedly as a result of neglecting ride maintenance. The blame was passed to Paul Pressler, the Disneyland Resort head of the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts division at the time, who was notorious for enforcing tough budget cuts."

I remember when that happened, yes, someone died on the ride. Supposedly it was because of poor maintenance, the CMs couldn't stop the train even though they felt something was wrong because of policy. I'll add a couple of references. Paul Pressler is notorious for his budget cuts, don't know if its his fault, but I wouldn't put it past him. --blm07 22:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I think the accident should be an article. It made the headline news afterall. How many derailed rollercoaster "incidents" killing a passenger have there been? --Lamrock 16:17, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WDW Image Change

I changed the last image of the Walt Disney World version of BTMR because the original image was too panned out to see anything. Now, you can see the train more visually and can make out beter scenery than the last one. 01kkk 23:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
