This article is about a roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland. For other roller coasters called Top Gun, see Top Gun (roller coaster).
Top Gun is a steel, inverted roller coaster, located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It is based on the 1986 film Top Gun, and is meant to simulate the feeling of riding in an F-14 fighter jet. The ride is heavily themed after the movie, with various props alongside the line-up, including models of the F-14 aircraft, hangars, radar installations, army trucks, and informational posters about the making of the movie. In its early inception the ride was known as the flagship ride in the park, however, recently the ride has massivly lost popularity. The steel line guides that once held anxious riders now are usually empty. A rider now can usually walk though the long steel maze to a less than ten minute wait for the ride.
