Is it ever going to re-open? It's been sitting there rusting for the past 2 years now!

i think they should just INVEST in building a FREAKIN WALL!!! behind it so it doesnt DISRUPT the water park. Shit it dont even need to be a thick wall, just a sound blocker

Yes, as Z Force. I wish SFGAm buys it so SFMM stops neglecting it.

If it even survives that long. With the way it's rusting right now it might crumble as they move it.

Switzerland (from Intamin) to SFGAm, to SFOG and to SFMM. A well traveled coaster.

1984...wow, surprised its lasted this long, especially being moved so much. Well, I never did ride it, except for on no limits simulator.

You think that's been all over? Zonga started on a German Fair curcuit before going to SFAW and then going to SFMW.

I think someday soon Flashback will re-open. Maybe if we petition for its opening, SFMM will look its way for once.

I think they should do what we did to shockwave with that thing. I think SFMM should take it down and replace it w/ a water coaster, but the splash could freely go into the water park for Hurricane Harbor guests...I mean its right there and both the riders and non riders at the waterpark can get soaked :lol:

SFMM just holds onto it for the tie for the most coasters record (will take the record next year if CP doesnt build something)
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

Yeah, but now that Magic Mountain is adding a coaster next year and Cedar Point is not, they will be ahead and they can finally get rid of it.

How do you know what CP is building next year? They haven't announced it yet.
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!

I seriously doubt that Flashback is going to reopen in the near future or anytime for that matter.


When i when to SFMM in Feb, the signs of Flashback where all taken down and the entrance was boarded up. Also I have heard that the power was taken out from the ride as well. And The trains where also removed from the ride also.

Couple that with it just sitting there rusting, its a very inviting since its right at the entrance of the park :lol:

Tower @ SFMM is SBNO due to construction of Tatsu. It's supposed to have a turn around the tower as well.
