Surprisingly, the park doesn't do 1 train operations by choice. The park simply isn't given the money to be able to afford to properly maintain every train, the other trains all sit on the transfer tracks with "Danger, Do Not Operate" tags on them. They only 1 train op. when all the other trains fail state inspections. Anyway, you guys have great ideas about the future of Flashbacks spot and the cleaning up of the park. I like the Wild Mouse idea too, anything would be better than Flashback, since it never operates and the Wild Mouse would be a much needed family ride addition.

I dont think Flashback will ever be replaced with another ride, as the noise problem isnt necessarily the noise the ride makes, but people screaming on the ride. Lifeguards are basically trained to listen for screaming and commotion or some sort(along with visual que's obviously), and a coaster or really any scream inducing ride can really throw off the life guards.

Maybe a new kiddie section there would be the best fit.

Yeah, but a coasters occupants screaming is different from a "help me I am drowning" scream. I can tell the difference....besides SFGAm's lifeguards don't seem to have a problem deciphering the screams of RB and Viper from those of folks needing rescue. There is a rhythm to the screams coming from coasters, and usually it's a group of ten or more screams....a scream for help is quite different.
Welcome to ShockWave please pull your harness down as far as it will go. While riding ShockWave please keep your hands and feet inside the car, and your head against the headrest, please hold on to all loose articles, especially hats and glasses. Enjoy your ride!

That would be me, a clone of Rajun Cajun would be a great idea in its space.
