Tmcdllr Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Too bad, "Afterburn" was a pretty decent name. They could combine the two..."Afterdeck" or "Flightburn."
robbalvey Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 ^ or "deck burn" but that might make people think it's something else... Â --Robb "Why does it burn when I pee?" Alvey
Cyber.Fiber Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hahaha! That was a good one! Â YES! FLIGHTDECK IS BACK!
XII Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 God Damn It Cedar Fair!!! You make one smart move, only to realize it was a smart move, so you go undo it. I have lost the last speck of loyalty I ever gave Cedar Fair.
PKIVortex Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I e-mailed CGA and here is there response to the name change to Afterburn and back to Flight Deck.  Thank you for your interest in California's Great America. The name change from Flight Deck to Afterburn on our web site was a mishaps by our web designer. The ride name Afterburn is the new name for Carowinds ' Top Gun. At all the other Top Gun parks the name will be changing to Flight Deck. We hope this information helps you and we hope to entertain you in near future. Sincerely,  California's Great America Guest Response

IMO, that is almost as stupid as naming a BTR clone Goliath.
KGA29 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 WHAT? Come on CF, why do that to us. How come Carowinds gets the better name.
PKIVortex Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Yes but Carowinds website still has Flight Deck listed.
DBru Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Now THAT is stupid (IMO)!  1.) Afterburn > Flight Deck  2.) Now Cedar Fair has to buy merchandise for both! Why would you do that? Infact, if I were Cedar Fair, I wouldn't even order merchandise for Flight Deck. Nobody in their right mind would/should want it...
SharkTums Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'm beginning to think that a lot of us were right about CF biting off more than they can chew. If they can't keep something like this straight...
Blink Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Wow, this thread has gotten so repetative. Just let cedar Fair do their job. The names at the other parks are Flight Deck, deal with it.
Sunfire Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 ^Sounds fine by me. I can't wait to ride the roller coaster Frank this season!
chmilo24 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Let's boycott the ride, and ride merchandise.
texcoaster Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Flight Deck is a lot like Jesus. Hated by the establishment, dies and then comes back from the dead two days later. Time to accept Flight Deck as your saviour. Â Post of the year. Â OMG, we agree on something. Â I'll second your "post of the year" nomination. Â The year is still young, though.
Craneman Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'm just going to call it "Frank." Â "I've been standing in line to ride Frank all day"
CHILLERLC1 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I think what's probably behind it all is Dick has a couple monkeys throw darts at possible names on a board. Apparently the one that had hit "Afterburn" had an accident with his diaper and was punished with the take back of the name. Â It's a shame how low and unskilled it gets. Â Oh wait a minute, I learned from the Geauga Lake episode that CF doesn't do animals. Â It's McDiculous.
Wes Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Let's boycott the ride, and ride merchandise. Â Yes, please do this. Â If Flight Deck is like jesus, this thread is like christmas...it's the gift that keeps on giving. Â WWFDD?
CHILLERLC1 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Tape Deck? That's so Tom Cruise 80s. Â In NJ people smoke outside on the bar decks because of the indoor smoking ban. I'm not a smoker but people can't smoke off this deck? Dam.
Sunfire Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 At this point, just as long as the ride is still in the park, I'll be happy. The name may be really crappy, but it's still the best inverted coaster I've been on.
Tmcdllr Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Someone mentioned they were just going to call it "Frank," might as well. I dont know about you guys but I will not ride anything called "Frank."
cfc Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I'm just going to call it "Frank." Â "I've been standing in line to ride Frank all day" Â "Frank looks too intense for me."
All Clear Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 "Just looking at Frank makes me feel sick!"
carolinacaniac Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 "Frank looks like a really good value!"
