... that a man dropped his hat while riding Flight Deck and went to retrieve it but ended up dying after being struck by the foot of a rider?

Improved to Good Article status by Adog (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 15:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Flight Deck (California's Great America); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

All components check out: interesting and accurate hook, inline citation in article, recent GA promotion, length is plenty sufficient, no copyright readily evident concerns (not that I can use Earwig today, anyway). It's a grim way to celebrate a GA promotion, but all the same: nice job to both improver and nominator. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:46, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
