"To match the original Top Gun theme..." - Has the military theme disappeared? Just asking because at Wonderland it is completely gone (other than a control tower and a fighter jet)

I can't say for certain either way. I am attributing the theming to the original ride and, I guess, leaving it open to interpretation whether it is still there or not. Themeparkgc Talk 22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After exiting the corkscrew, the train begins a 270-degree climbing helix to the left, after which..." - Remove one of the "after"'s...sounds weird.

"...it reaches the ride's brake run and the return to the station" - Take out the bolded "the" and say something like, "and returns to the station".

"It debuted at position 18 in 1999, before disappearing from the poll for the three years to follow. The ride returned to the poll hitting a low of 45 in 2012." - Afterburn didn't appear from 2000-02 and 2009-11. The way I read it, it says that the ride disappeared in 2000 and returned in 2012.

I've reworded it slightly. Is it less confusing now. Basically I want to summarise the table, not duplicate it in text entirely. Themeparkgc Talk 22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe mention how the ride is getting a paint job this off-season?

Is this really important enough for inclusion? Even then a quick search only revealed discussion forums, which are not reliable sources. Themeparkgc Talk 22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well they did mention it on their facebook page. Either way, your choice. I just thought I would mention that because its in SheiKra.--Dom497 (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
