The now defunct FlashBack At SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN.
Opened in 1985 as ZForce at Six Flags Great America, it was the first and only "Space Diver" roller Coaster ever to be built by Intamin AG of Switzerland. As part of Six Flags "ride rotation" program, it was moved to Six Flags Over Georgia, were it reopened as ZForce in 1988. Then the ride closed and was moved for the final time to Six Flags Magic Mountain and was renamed Flash Back in 1992. Flash Back would operate rarely in the winter season after Hurricane Harbor opened. It last operated in early 2003. It stood dormant until it was torn down for scrap metal, Dec 20th 2007.

Great design, but it got loud and really rough. Someone needs to design a bigger, smoother version.

I loved Flashback. I understand it wasn't as smooth as some of the other rides, but considering it's age and such- It was fine. Personally, I never had a problem with it. I was so sad when I heard they were tearing it down. It seems like they're starting to shut down all their classics if they can't upgrade them. Don't get me wrong, the new rides are great and all, but still. I remember being a kid and skipping on these rides while my older siblings chickened out. lol

Yeh, I'm referring to the zig zag layout. But the experience and trains are totally different.

I Personally find it a bit unfortunate that I couldn't Ride it myself,seeing as it was the only roller coaster of it's kind EVER. It seems like a real Zero-G experience - Kinda reminds me of Roller coaster tycoon 2. I guess it's gonna be replaced by X Flight in 2012 :D

They should make a Flashback 2.0, one that's similar, but not as rough... I guess.

@videodude23 From what I remember reading about, it was a REALLY rough ride, and your head would be bashed on the sides of the shoulder harness.
