Just a filler ride. Pretty fun, but it can be a little rough. Nothing special.

Flashback wins the award for the best boomerang I've been on. Granted that's not saying much, but I will go as far to say that this one is tolerable even in a non-defensive riding position.
Relocated from Kentucky Kingdom, Flashback stands out with its paint job, but I just don't like it for some reason. Anyway, lines can move slowly due to the shuttle nature of the ride, but they are generally pretty short.
My favorite seat like on all boomerangs is the back thanks to the first drop, which generally is the only reason I go on boomerangs. It gives a little free-falling sensation and is surprisingly fast. I came on expecting a bashing my first ride and found the first half to be glass-smooth. I was shocked, but could it keep it up during the second half? I was shocked and it did for the most part. There's some minor headbanging on the cobra roll, but other than that, none.
Thanks to the minimal headbanging, Flashback is easily my favorite of the Vekoma boomerangs I've been on. While not as good as many of the park's other coasters, it's worth checking out since it's a credit, and actually a decent coaster.
