RCT2 Screenshot - CoasterBuzz

There is an RCT2 screenshot with the white gate that leads into the main entrance of Six Flags Magic Mountain. But does SFMM have a blue coaster?

Here is the pic:

flashback

Oh yeah! But flashback doesn't have inversions, right?

Well, Not necesarily, it has 7 almost-inversions where your almost upside down...

Ya Flashback hardly ever operates and stand mainly to get Six Flags coaster count.

But that white gate thing is a nice addition to the scenery.

The white gate is just scenery stacking, you have to create the structure your self, but yes, it does look very nice.

The reason it "never operates" (it DOES though) is because when Hurricane Harbor is in its operating season, the ride is required to close until HH hours are through. The incredibly loud B&M-like roaring noise the ride produces distracts and does not allow lifeguards to be alert.

i reckon B&M should retrack it as a speed coaster and put hyper trains (nitro, apollos chariot,raging bull & silver star)..on it, it would count as the parks 3rd B&M and would make the magical flashback experience rideable.....its old, it needs re doing

X-Flight gives you wwwwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggsssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard it is both a train and track problem but mostly train. I also heard that the ride got damaged a fair amount in transport.

There has to be something they can do about that either with the coaster or putting some sort of barrier up.

Notice also the larger fence by Flashback, it is taller than it was in RCT. And the sidewalks don't have to connect when they are right next to eachother.

Why don't they put it in a building so you ride it in the dark with lights flashing and fog and re-name it? There won't be any noise. it might be more fun, and it will be inside so you can get away from the heat.

Cost too much money... SFMM rather just keep it their, like someone said, for the coaster count.

Im the #1 Canobie Lake Park Fan!!!These are my top 3 coasters:
1. S:RoS @ SFNE 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Cyclone

But the real question: is it a fun ride?

-----------------
Who can go a whole day at MiA riding Timbers ONCE? Repeat after me: "I hate parent chaperones"

Why dont they fill it with sand

The lifeguards didnt complain about the roar of the coaster, its the screaming that they complained about, they said it distracted them, I can see where they are coming by this, BUT I think it would actually keep the lifeguards on their toes more to hear the screams, and that way they can do their job better.

They could put something in easily, like a waterfall to go with the waterpark...

Even when Hurricane Harbor is closed, Flashback is closed. So is spinout, the skytower, and X. There are hardly ever 15 coasters running at this park. and they are not down for maintnance (sky tower has been closed most of the time for the past 5 years). I heard flashback is a terrible headbanger. It does need intamin or B&M to supply new trains, as well as paint the ride: it's all rusty.
