Flight Deck (Arizona Kingdom)

Flight Deck is a steel inverted roller coaster at Arizona Kingdom in Tucson, Arizona.

Layout
The ride begins with a left-hand turn out of a station to the lift hill that ascends 137 (42 m). Riders are pulled up by a 9,000 lbf (40 kN) chain lift. At the top, the train dips slightly into the pre-drop before turning 90 degrees to the left as it drops 119 feet (36 m) down the first hill. From the bottom the train immediately enters a 100 feet (30 m) vertical loop. The train then enters a zero-g roll followed by the cobra roll which inverts riders twice. After the cobra roll, the train climbs through an upward spiral and enters the mid-course brake run. Next, the train dives down to the right transitioning into a brief straight section of track. Riders then enter the first of two corkscrews which rotates the train 360 degrees to the left. The track straightens briefly again before turning to the right and entering a short dip before taking a second corkscrew. The ride finishes with a 1.5 revolution flat helix where riders encounter strong positive G-forces before making one last left turn into the final brake. One cycle of the ride lasts about 2 minutes and 16 seconds.

Track
The tracks were painted red with black rails and white supports.

Trains
Flight Deck operates with three steel and fiberglass trains. Each train has eight cars that have four seats in a single row for a total of 32 riders in Ski lift like trains. Riders were secured by flexible over-the-shoulder restraints with seatbelts.
