They could build a sound barrier, but those are expensive.

Add some B&M trains to Flashback and you get rid of the hideous trains and you also eliminate those noisy intamin trains. Kill two birds with one stone. I don't know if the trains will be enough to let it run during the summer though.

I'm suprised that they'd put that much work into a ride that doesn't seem to have too much life left in it. It's got to be one of their least popular coasters, too. (But how can you tell, it's closed all the time ;))

But if they do rehab it and take out the P.O.S. trains then it might get popular again.

Being located next to Hurricane Harbor has nothing to do with Flashback operating. I went on the ride in 1999 and 2000. The ride operated even though the waterpark was open.

Shaprio made a visit to Magic Mountain. Nothing really new as to what he wants to do with the chain, and not surprising about his changes for MM, but interesting.

it would make sense to work on Sky Tower and open it, because of Tatsu flying around it and all....

I like Flashback and I hope it's open when I visit in April.

I can probably garuantee that Flashback wont be open by April. It will take at least a year to rehab that ride.
