Afterburn
This coaster
originally opened as Top Gun - The Jet Coaster. Built by Bolliger and Mabillard
in 1999, this ride became the fourth
Top Gun coaster in the Paramount Parks chain.
Paramount's Kings Island,
Paramount's Great America,
and Paramount's Canada's Wonderland
were home to the first three. Despite sharing the same name, all four coasters are unique.
This ride changed names when all four parks dropped the Paramount name in 2007.
