Agree: Best ride in the park. - Nathaniel Gillespie

The best ride in the park! - Adam Clinard

The thing I like about Afterburn (called Top Gun previously) is the layout and how it works with the land that it was built on. When you come in through the backgate you walk through the action of the ride. - Jesse Key

This is a great coaster. It was my first inverted coaster with air time. - scooby doobydoo

I had wonderful time on this coaster. My stepson did too, he had me go back three times. - Russ Holthaus
