Flight Deck is a steel inverted roller coaster located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It originally opened in 1995 under the name Top Gun. It was renamed Flight Deck in 2008 after Paramount Parks sold Wonderland to Cedar Fair, necessitated the gradual removal of all Paramount names and trademarks from the theme park.[1][2]
