Flashback, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts, US
Flashback is a steel roller coaster at Six Flags New England in Agawam, Massachusetts, standing 117 feet tall with three inversions. The ride features a cobra roll and vertical loop arranged in a V-shaped pattern that creates intense forces throughout the experience.
The ride started at Star Lake Amusement Park in 1985 and was relocated to Kentucky Kingdom a few years later in 1990. It found its current home at Six Flags New England in 2000 and has remained there since.
This ride shows how roller coasters travel to different locations and attract new visitors each time. It represents a tradition in American amusement parks where attractions move between parks to serve communities across the country.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall to experience the coaster, and each train holds 28 passengers seated in pairs. Arriving early in the day helps avoid longer waits and provides better riding conditions.
The track design pulls riders backward up the lift hill before releasing them through the course, then repeats the entire sequence in reverse. This backward motion followed by a reverse replay creates an unusual riding experience that differs from typical coasters.
