More About This Ride

Structure:
Stacked-design featuring six steep 180-degree roll-over dives.

Does not operate when Six Flags Hurricane Harbor, Los Angeles is open during the summer season. This is due to the ride's extremely close proximity to the water park, which loud sounds produced by the trains navigating the track may distract on-duty lifeguards.

Flashback is one of my least favorite rides at SFMM.

I loved this ride as a really little kid! It's a shame it's SBNO now...

I am a big fan of Flashback. The hairpin turns are awesome. Yes, you get boxed in the ears, but it's really not all that bad.

And, I REALLY hate that they don't run this anymore. I think they either need to run it or get rid of it and put something there that will run.

It's a dead ride, and it's not coming back, regardless what people think.

EDIT: 12/22/07

Flashback is in the stage of deconstruction currently and is expected to be gone within days.

I loved this ride back in the day. I was lucky because it was always operating when I was at the park. I don't recall it being too rough, but very restricting. My mom hurt her neck on this coaster though and it put her out of riding the rest of the day. I won't be sad if it is removed, but I would be pretty excited if it opened again.

Origanally rode it when it was Z-Force at Marriots Great America in Gurnee when I was young, 16 and then re-rode it when 32 in 2002. Man I liked this ride when I was young. I marathoned it repeatedly in those early days. Although I was surprised to only see SF Georgia mentioned as a relocation. Yeah thats where it went second. But it opened at Marriots Great America.
