According to @KIghostguy 's KI book, the ride was already under construction when Paramount took over. This would also infer that the (originally intended) theme had been chosen by that point, which would explain the strange color scheme.

Very interesting! Can't wait to hear more. Seems someone did not like those colors.

I came across these photos showcasing new Arrow Dynamics suspended coaster trains....... Whats interesting about these photos is the color scheme of the trains... clearly not the TOPGUN 1993 paint scheme.  Were these the original "Swoop" paint colors and the ride was quickly rethemed to TOPGUN when Paramount purchased the park? @KIghostguy Do you have more information about this time period in KI History?  Are these photos taken in a KI maintenance buildings or arrow factory? 

That doesnt surprise me one bit at that joint, they would charge you to breathe beach air if they could.  Of course it wouldnt come as a HUGE surprise to see it go chainwide, it stands to reason they would put it in play first there at Disneyworld Jr.

Case in point - the golf course across the street once had two 18-hole championship courses and a 9 hole executive (par 3) course. It is now one 18 hole golf course with the prior courses now houses/condos/etc. and a parking lot for a 2-week tennis tournament!
