When I was in 8th grade, I went on Top Gun at Paramount’s Great America. We were being cranked up for the first fall and when 1/4 of the cart went off the crank, it stopped. We were left up there for over an hour. No one came to tell us anything about the malfunction. We just sat there swinging our legs. Then the ride suddenly drops backwards free falling then stops abruptly. We were all screaming. Then the ride goes forward and runs just fine…but that was the most silent roller coaster ride I’ve ever been a part of. 😂
