Everything about Flashback totally explained
Flashback! is a
steel boomerang roller coaster located at
Six Flags Over Texas in
Arlington,
Texas (
USA). The coaster consists of a single track that loops several times and then goes backwards, making it a shuttle coaster.
It was one of the first Boomerang coasters built in the United States. It was designed and built by
Vekoma and opened at
Six Flags Over Texas in the 1989 season. Vekoma then built a generic boomerang model that had been sold to numerous amusement parks in the United States including
Knott's Berry Farm,
Hersheypark,
Lake Compounce, as well as virtually all the parks owned by Funtime and Premier Parks. The Funtime and Premier Parks were eventually sold to
Six Flags in 1998.
While the coaster is exactly the same in all the parks it was installed at in the 1990's, the Flashback! at Six Flags Over Texas has a slightly different layout with somewhat larger and heavier trains. But the concept of this looping shuttle coaster influenced the more generic boomerang coaster located in so many parks today.
