Do you think More mechanics would solve SFMM 's problom with not keeping rides open? and can someone Answer me a question?

Who's stupid mind decided to RELOCATE Z-force from Great America, to Over georgia just to end up @ MAGIC MOUNTAIN as Flashback and place it right NEXT TO A WATERPARK and then after finish building it say...OK now close the ride and never touch it. ITS TO LOUD for the Lifegaurds at the WATERPARK

they dont care that it's SBNO, its probably just there to claim the most coasters tie...SFMM doesn't care about it, it doesn't take up that big of a footprint.

^^ Actually, Flashback was placed in 1992 when SFHH did not exist yet. SFHH was opened in 1995, which then led to the stupid summer closures of Flashback. However, Flashback has not operated since 2003. From what I have heard there is zero chance of that ride coming back. It needs an extensive rehab, which SFMM isn't willing to do(just as Metro and Sky Tower.) It is now boarded up, no power connection, and some signs were removed showing it's existance. The only use it has is to keep the count up like previously stated, and it takes up hardly any space. I'm sure it will stay until they want to put something else in it's place. Another thing, No I don't believe more mechanics will make much difference, rather that the problems usually are with no budget for replacement parts. :wink:

But wouldn't people from california rather go there because of the 16 coasters rather than a smaller park like Knott's with only 6 I think? People always say that they do bad because of the competition, but aren't they the best in the GP eyes?


You're forgetting that it's in the middle of a desert and not many people enjoy driving the 2 hours to get there. Knotts is right by Disneyland, which is maybe only a half-hour drive from L.A.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

So why didnt they THINK to design the LAYOUT Of HURRICANE HARBOR So that it didnt CONFLICT with the Coasters? Look at our Waterpark, most of the Waterslides, wave pool and lazy river on Closer to the Interstate then To the Theme Park and they made the HILL higher between HH and the interstate to CUT OUT Noise. they should have thought of that

but if Im not mistaken SFMM had one of the first SFHHs so they didnt quite get it all planed out perfectly until ours =) but it is dissapointing that Flashback is SBNO, I really wanted to try it at some point, oh well.
