I have been dying to ride that ride and its never open! I read the sign has been removed from the park and want to know what the status of the coaster is.
I can not even go to another park as I found out this is the only one like it in the world!
Dude, the ride sucks anyway. You're not missing anything!
What I could never figure out is why they just don't tear it down. Sure they couldn't market SFMM as having the most coasters, but if I owned the park I wouldn't leave a ride that never operates standing, especially in the front of the park. Of course, if I owned the park, there would be a lot more changes than just that. ;)

But after a couple of SBNO seasons, Flashback HAS run this year...on several occasions (none of which I was present for)...
You know, I really don't buy the excuse that it has to close for the waterpark. I can think of plenty of roller coasters and rides that are in close proximity to a waterpark, that never have to close due to "sound". This just sounds like another typical Six Flags BS story.*** Edited 10/30/2006 7:11:24 PM UTC by Fun***
Granted it wasn't anywhere near the top 1/3rd of my list, but it sure as heck wasn't in the bottom 1/3rd, either...

Considering that Magnum at CP goes through the waterpark, that excuse Six Flags gives is certainly a bunch of BS.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks, than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

Not only is it in the bottom 1/3 of my list, it's in the bottom three. :)

Where did you hear/see this?
^ Some Ohio kids went out to Cali for coasting, etc., and took MY ride on Flashback...about a month ago....and hey, check your PMs while you're here... ;)
I rode it when it was at SFGAm and I loved it so much that I frequently rerode it as much as I could. Call me crazy. I like SLC's too...
Certain victory.

Of course you wouldn't buy it. Because you don't know. Imagine Mantis or any loud-roaring B&M built RIGHT ALONGSIDE a fence, which right on the other side, is a wave and swimming pool area. It's not just close proximity - if Six Flags were to rip down that fence separating Hurricane Harbor from Flashback, you could walk up from out of the pool, walk a few yards and touch one of the support columns. THAT'S how close it is.
What I could never figure out is why they just don't tear it down.Tearing it down requires money, something SF doesn't have a lot of these days. It's far more cost-effective to just leave it standing.
Oh, and Gator...feel a tug on your chain? ;)

Bottom 3? Wow, you're generous. I have it dead last (out of 487 coasters, 382 of them steel).
Although I think this year when filling out Mitch's poll, it will have competition from Beech Bend's Looping Star...
