Flashback in Six Flags Magic Mountain ( Valencia , California , USA ) was a steel roller coaster model Space Diver by the manufacturer Intamin in cooperation with Giovanola , which was originally opened in 1985 as Z-Force in Six Flags Great America . There she only stood until 1987. In 1988 she was then opened (also as Z-Force) in Six Flags Over Georgia , where she only spent three years. The last stop was Six Flags Magic Mountain. Opened on April 25, 1992, it ran until 2003, but only during the winter season from October to April when the water park next door was closed. But also during the winter season Flashback was often out of order. The dismantling work on Flashback began in mid-December 2007. The train was the prototype of the model and also the only delivery ever.

Trains

Flashback owned three trains from the manufacturer Giovanola, each with five cars. Four people (one row) could sit in each car. The passengers must be at least 1.22 m tall to be allowed to ride. Shoulder straps were used as a restraint system.
