The Flight Deck Rollercoaster at California's Great America, Santa Clara, California

Unlike Bolliger & Mabillard's Batman, this inverted is not shoehorned into the space where the Tidal Wave shuttle loop coaster used to sit.  Instead this inverted coaster is spread out around the corner of the park.

After a ninety-one foot first drop Flight Deck takes you through the first of the rides three inversions with this vertical loop.

I like how Flight Deck's zero gravity roll goes right over the top of the Theater Royale.  It is a nice visual centerpiece as you walk into Orleans Place.

With the early pass holder ride time I think we were the only people in the park.  They had the Orleans Place and all of the rides there open for us and we took advantage of it with some rides on Flight Deck and Rue Le Dodge.

After wrapping around the theater Flight Deck heads back behind the park.
