• "To match the original Top Gun theme..." - Has the military theme disappeared? Just asking because at Wonderland it is completely gone (other than a control tower and a fighter jet)

I can't say for certain either way. I am attributing the theming to the original ride and, I guess, leaving it open to interpretation whether it is still there or not. Themeparkgc  Talk  22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

• After exiting the corkscrew, the train begins a 270-degree climbing helix to the left, after which..." - Remove one of the "after"'s...sounds weird.

• "...it reaches the ride's brake run and the return to the station" - Take out the bolded "the" and say something like, "and returns to the station".

• "It debuted at position 18 in 1999, before disappearing from the poll for the three years to follow. The ride returned to the poll hitting a low of 45 in 2012." - Afterburn didn't appear from 2000-02 and 2009-11. The way I read it, it says that the ride disappeared in 2000 and returned in 2012.

I've reworded it slightly. Is it less confusing now. Basically I want to summarise the table, not duplicate it in text entirely. Themeparkgc  Talk  22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

• Maybe mention how the ride is getting a paint job this off-season?

Is this really important enough for inclusion? Even then a quick search only revealed discussion forums, which are not reliable sources. Themeparkgc  Talk  22:51, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Well they did mention it on their facebook page. Either way, your choice. I just thought I would mention that because its in SheiKra.--Dom497 (talk) 20:01, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I missed that. Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:07, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
