Talk:Thomas, Rosie and Percy Engine Tours

January 2024

Hello @LTPHarry thanks for the additions to the page. Can you please share where you got the info from? Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 20:56, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Well, the Thomas Wiki on Fandom has many images of the attraction showcasing its progression over the years. I also had to look through YouTube to gain some of the research as well.

As for the Thomas engine, if you have a look at images of the Thomas they used at that safari park and the Six Flags parks that had Thomas Town/Whistlestop Park, they all look pretty much the same. LTPHarry (talk) 21:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for this - appreciate the work that has gone in here. For the future, Fandom wikis can't be relied on - Thomas & Friends may be a good wiki but there's a lot of dubious stuff on Fandom. Youtube can be used but please add to the talk page what videos you used as not all videos are created equal!

Ideally, inline citations are best if you can. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 21:22, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I know Fandom isn't reliable because anyone can edit it, but it's mainly for the images. I've also just edited the Drusilla's Park one as well, and added two sources from when the licensing agreement with HIT/Mattel was not renewed.

I do have plans to edit the Six Flags pages as well when it comes to their former Thomas attractions, and maybe the former Wiggles World attractions as well. LTPHarry (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thanks for adding those sources in - makes it a lot better. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 21:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome. I enjoy editing on this wiki and adding obscure facts about rides. I was considering on making a category for Thomas-themed flat rides, but that would mean other licenses would have to gain similar tactics as well, and that would take forever!

We alreaady have some rides by theme categories - see Category:Rides by theme. If you want to make the category, it doen't have to be complete to start off with as long as there's at least one ride in it Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 22:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
