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.
Top Gun at
Paramount's Kings Island,
Top Gun at
Paramount's Great America, and
Top Gun
at Paramount's Canada's Wonderland
were the first three to open. Despite sharing the same name, all four coasters are unique.
This ride, and the other three, changed names when all four parks dropped the Paramount name in 2007.
