A Theme Park Staple
The Boomerang roller coaster model is quite popular around the world. Fifty-two of these same exact models have been installed! One of these roller coasters is located in the same state at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, just hours away from Six Flags Over Texas. Five models are still operating at Six Flags parks across the country as of 2018.
Flashback! was located in the park’s Goodtimes Square section.
Flashback! began the ride experience by pulling riders up the first lift backwards.
Flashback! featured 6 inversions and a top speed of 47 miles per hour.
Relocation
Flashback! sent riders through its six inversions one last time on September 3, 2012. Soon after, the ride was carefully dismantled and relocated to Six Flags St. Louis. On June 8, 2013, less than a year after its final cycle at Six Flags Over Texas, the roller coaster reopened as Boomerang.
