With the
acquisition of Six Flags Theme Parks by Time Warner in 1992, a
great effort was made to bring the "theme" back to the
chain as well as to cross promote the intellectual properties of
the Time Warner company. A part of the retheme at Six Flags
Great Adventure was the 1994 conversion of the area at the top of the
Games Square into an Air Force Base theme with the centerpiece
being a new attraction, The Right Stuff Mach 1 Adventure,
based on the Warner Brothers' film. |

A part of the plan for The Right Stuff
Mach 1 Adventure complex that never came to fruition was going to be an
adjoining table service eatery called the Flight Deck Restaurant.

It appears from the
renderings that the restaurant would have featured a simple box
like structure painted in sky blue accented with clouds. On the side of
the building would have been the fuselage of a plane with the
cargo door open and a gangway ramp going up to it which would
have served as the
entrance to the restaurant itself.
The interior was to
feature a brilliant cloud-filled sky above with an aircraft motif throughout and a
plane suspended above the dining area. Large-scale
monitors would have broadcasted planes performing mid-air
maneuvers and aeronautic props like propellers and airport
searchlights extended the theme. |

Cast members would play the role of flight crew members at this
sit-down restaurant, sporting aviator outfits complete with
jumpsuits and goggles.
The
Flight Deck Restaurant never made it off the drawing boards, but would have
been a unique addition to the park. |
