Flight Deck was a much needed addition to the park in the mid-nineties. The innovation of being suspended below the track increased the crowds coming to the park. With a layout full of flips, rolls, spins and dips this is probably the most action packed coaster at the park even today. For those that will never get the opportunity to fly a fighter jet, riding Flight Deck is the next best thing.
