Flight Deck — Attraction in Santa Clara

This is probably the best ride at Great America. The wait is actually not too long. We went on Labor Day weekend and it was only 30 minutes wait.

The wait area is actually pretty cool. Lots of decorations, props, and pictures showing the carrier and the flight deck. This used to be Top Gun so it was kind of interesting coming back to the ride as a different ride.

My favorite part is the zero g roll (twist) over the entrance because you go flying, but it's aggressive and you get thrown to the side and up pretty hard so it was jarring when I was just starting to get into roller coasters.
