For kids or adults with children, I think this place has some appeal. But after returning from a last visit more than 10 years ago, not much has changed. Top Gun isn't called "Top Gun" anymore, but my younger company seemed to think it's still the best ride. But it's hard for me to recommend the place other than for people who love rides. There's something lacking that I can't place; but if someone can figure that out, I think this place could be at best a four star destination. The food options are as bad as what you expect at a movie theater, but I don't think it has to be that way. Yes, the majority of customers must be high schoolers at the older end of the spectrum; but for the adults forced to babysit and wait around all day, it'd be great to have at least one healthy food source for sustenance. Just an opinion from a grumpy old man who doesn't know how to have fun, I guess; but some decent food while I'm at it might be nice.
