your right, but know i find it weird that an MGM production existed in a Paramount Park.

That's because the revived The Outer Limits series aired on Showtime, which was owned by Viacom, from 1995 to 2001.

And then, it wasn't....and the rides got renames...sorta. For 2001, no less...

Haha, it should say "Present this for one head-bangin ride on Flight of Fear."

Amen to that. Removing the OTSR's on those rides (and the Messrs Freeze and even more so on Batman and Robin: The Chiller) were perhaps the best improvements ever made to an existing ride...except turning Steel Phantom into Phantom's Revenge...for the very same reason...

TopGun1993, Great picture kinda looks like a short version of WindSeeker though WS does not have rotating cars. Very cool angle.

now... what if they replaced the chairs for WS with the rotating seats of Flight Commander..... NOW THAT would be a thrill ride worth waiting 4 hours for. That line starts behind me.

This was the first ride I ever went upside down on. I remember putting my hand on the controller, closing my eyes and waiting until I barrel turned over to the other side...I didn't realize at the time that this was far more scary than just getting on a roller coaster where centrifugal force holds you in your seat - FC did not!!!

I always thought it was cool how you entered via the center of the hub.

Being an enthusiast of that particular location of the park. This picture is amazing, probably the best picture of flight commander i have ever seen/found. I am very impressed.
