Top Gun is a roller coaster located at Great America in Northern California. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, Top Gun made its debut March 19, 1993. It is the park's most popular ride. This was Bolliger & Mabillard's 2nd inverted coaster behind Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great America. The third inverted coaster from Bolliger & Mabillard opened a little under two months later at Six Flags Great Adventure. The inverted roller coaster has become Bolliger & Mabillard 's most popular brand of coaster. Top Gun at Great America isn't quite as tall, nor as fast or long (in length) as its partner (with the same name) on the other side of the country, Top Gun: The Jet Coaster at Carowinds.
