Flightdeck - California's Great America - Santa Clara, CA - Roller Coasters on Waymarking.com

"Flight Deck is a roller coaster located at California's Great America in Northern California. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, Flight Deck made its debut March 19, 1993 as Top Gun. It is the park's most popular ride. This was Bolliger & Mabillard's second inverted coaster behind Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great America. The third inverted coaster from Bolliger & Mabillard opened a little under two months later at Six Flags Great Adventure. The inverted roller coaster has become Bolliger & Mabillard's most popular brand of coaster. Flight Deck at Great America isn't quite as tall, nor as fast or long (in length) as its partner, Afterburn at Carowinds. At the end of the 2007 season, the ride was renamed from Top Gun to Flight Deck, and renamed again in January as Afterburn, only to have the name reverted back to Flight Deck.


Flight Deck was also featured in a commercial for Excedrin in 2007." (visit link)
