Yeah. They really need to come up with a better name than that.
I can just see the GPs face come opening day. "They named it...what?" LOL

And I thought Six Flags was the king of cloning bad names. One flight deck is bad enough, but two?!!
What invert is next?!!

Come on. Why not F-14, Tomcat, something that has to do with the aircraft itself, not part of a ship.

This is certainly a trend it seems. They REALLY need to hire someone to come up with better names than this. I'm sure a 4 year old has more creativity.

I'll take Batman, The Ride anytime for naming an invert!
Six Flags did the worst job naming Goliath for SFFT's invert. I'd rather go with Flight Deck than Goliath.

Sure Flight Deck isn't anything special, but it's really not that bad. The GP really don't care as much as we think they will. The majority of the GP already mispronounce or say incorrectly the names of coasters by adding "the" before the name etc.

Great God, not to this B&M classic. This is the best coaster in the park again; Thank goodness they're getting a woodie in 2009. What a sin with the name.
How about "Walmart's" or "Best Buys" in regards to mispronounciating?

^^I'll say! Most of the people I know can't even remember the names of half the rides at SFOG! They refer to them by their colors, location, etc.
Ninja- The one one the lake, Georgia Cylone- That wooden one, Georgia Scorcher- The yellow one in the front, etc.
It's fun listening to them because they don't know what they're talking about.

Flight Deck should only be the name of a bar on a deck for this coaster. I'll go to that bar.
