As a child of the late 80's & 90's, Top Gun (Flight Deck) will always have a special place in my heart as well.
Like some of us, growing up I was terrified of coasters, and it wasn't until Top Gun opened my eyes that I truly believed I could conquer them. I'll always remember the theming underneath the loading platform that we waited in on especially at night, and the ride ops in flight jumpsuits, the Top Gun Soundtrack playing on the platform some days, and trying to learn forward just a bit, in order to hold my overhead bar just a little off for more air time & be able to raise my arms out the side.
It's had a great run, and I for one am grateful; For without it I never would've conquered The Beast, or Vortex, or MF, or I305, or TTD.
So Happy 20th Flight Deck! You may not be dangerous, but can be my wingman any time.
