[@luman3385]

A true og rode this when it was the boomerang.

[@williamrichmond814]

This was and will ALWAYS BE the Boomerang to me

[@kmccurdy21]

Coast to coaster

[@OuroborosGD]

i still call it the boomerang and i rode it for the first time today

[@the44thchamber]

I remember looking at Martha's from the top as a kid. And also watching the people scream while eating ice cream at Martha's. Miss you NY

[@fedorapug8501]

I can still taste Martha’s chicken sandwich. Cannot be beat.

[@xu4299]

Same

[@Crazycartoonist8679]

This is my home park I go here at least three times A year

[@Crazycartoonist8679]

So I make every visit count

[@JWT3972]

I went on the saint to watch Thursday fireworks they had a drone show and they should Martha’s

[@cody4turtle]

this is my favorite besides greezed lighting and comet because of that view and the drop after sitting up there its fun

[@un1qu3n4m3]

The loop backwards is the best part of that ride

[@uhm6275]

true

[@Kastagir]

i hurt my neck on that part

[@Amihuman2000]

I hurt my back bad

[@apothecurio]

thought a lot of boomerang coasters suck. this is one of them that are really great.

[@jilltherat5354]

Whenever I go there, I go on that ride about 4 times lmao it’s so fun

[@bikesandbandos]

you must be standing in line forever

[@hasnasayed9547]

This was my first roller coaster i had my head down the shole time scared to death

[@misscandy84]

Head down makes it scarier open tour eyes next time less scary q little

[@jlane1077]

My first time on *Drops* Me: AHH- wait this isn't scary wtf....

[@kaileycherubin6275]

Jillian Healey hahah facts

[@tori943]

Jillian Healey meee

[@staringcorgi6475]

It's just a shuttle coaster

[@nataleeisjustchilling2737]

That was my reaction when I first rode this ride too lol, it was the same coaster but at Darien lake and it was my first upside down coaster ever (I was 7)

[@jamierose3153]

I loved this when I went. We went to Six Flags for a field trip in 5th grade and when I went on this, me and my girlfriend were next to eachother screaming "FRICK FRICK FRICK ALEXANDER HAMILTON I'M COMING TO HEAVEN BUT POSSIBLY HELL UHM AHHHH" typical 5th grader me. I went on the Tantrum and Darien Lake and I didn't even scream. That was yesterday too.

[@tealtube6688]

Same just had my trip and this was my very first roller coaster I couldn't breathe or scream I was too scared to scream and had the stuck harness so i was screaming for help cuz i only did it for my best friend then the guy came over like I was stupid lol

[@xtremeentertainmenttv9664]

looks like one of the better vekoma boomerangs

[@nataleeisjustchilling2737]

Yeah and at the second drop it looks like it goes up a bit farther than the one at Darien lake

[@tractionalofficial4232]

Smooth like peanut putter, and that's good for a company that's rides feel like rocks in a blender.

[@play-plug-gamegaming476]

not all their rides are bad though they made good coasters for disney

[@chaoticzomba-gameplayandmo225]

Play-plug-game Gaming Like Expedition Everest.

[@blacklisted351]

@@play-plug-gamegaming476 Their newer coasters are really good. Check out firestorm or lech coaster. Vekoma is the new intamin. Their new generation inverted coasters look good too.

[@bootsmecat7810]

The drops take your breath away, and once you manage to get it back, you've already swallowed a lot of air. I spent 5 minutes getting it out lol

[@AschesHome]

Idk if its just me but this ride when it goes backwards hurts my neck😭 it made my head snap back the first time i went on it anf down the second time

[@Robloxgirlfan4566]

I remember riding that rollercoaster 😨

[@Cyantist12]

Im creating a sort of Geoguesser game for roller coasters called "CoasterGuesser" Can I have your permission to use this footage in the game?

[@mbapnyc]

I was on this yesterday and the kids kept shouting at the operator “I’m so excited” and when we were going up the operator shouted “I’m so exited” on the speakers as we were going up. The funniest part was I don’t think he knew what it meant

[@madi1558]

omg I wanna go on it I’m going tomorrow

[@ninagage2311]

I’ve been on this many times!

[@yaygames6918]

So... I've broken down what the Roller Coasters name means... The flashback... The Back part means about when you go backwards on the ride... The Flash part means how you go so fast... Aaaaand it also means how your life flashes before your eyes on this ride

[@shanrock34]

It was better with its original name the boomerang. No need to change it but they did for some reason.

[@accidentalmadness1708]

Once I was on this ride when the chain that pulls you up broke.

[@nebulanotfound1]

ON THE FLASHBACK THE OPERATOR SAID WE HAD ISSUES WITH OUR SEAT STRAPS AND I ALMOST DIEDDDDDD 😭😭

[@TheLKid1011]

This was so scary when I went to six flags

[@jasonsaville2262]

Rollback rollback rollback!!!

[@uhm6275]

i went on this at 8 years old and i sat in the back and was like standing up it was so high

[@vanessasanchez2323]

I just went, the backwards loop was terrifying ;-;

[@badquality0518]

10, 9, 8, 7- *You go*

[@TheR3ALNathan]

[@carlosq1248]

[@multijerky]

This’ll help the 5 year olds get used to expedition everest.

[@matmckone24]

Every time I go in line people throw up on the ride and then we wait 30 minutes for them to clean it up

[@kaileycherubin6275]

Matmckone 24 uh no i’ve been going here for over 10 years and that’s never happened

[@matmckone24]

Kailey Cherubin you didn’t go when I went.

[@madox8157]

[@isaacwooden8327]

Jestina Sills-Powell same!!!

[@un1qu3n4m3]

Jestina Sills-Powell that’s the best part with the loop

[@willberman1562]

Being in the back at the top of the first lift is fucking scary as shit

[@OuroborosGD]

they should have just kept the name as the boomerang

[@jeremiyahclick8567]

This ride is so fun.is it the great escape in quebsbery newyork

[@stephenjacewicz4594]

[@misscandy84]

I hated this ride bc first drop scared me so much just heading up hill before they drop yu higher getting up though fall out ride before Eben dropped down t h e hill a the waiting fir it to drop is scary

[@eriksonquiles8045]

always go in the back

[@TheLKid1011]

I have been on this

[@Hufflepuff1216]

The last Tim ei went on this my friend chickened out

[@caidend7887]

It’s not scary just the seats are so tight so it makes it stressful

[@DHAdArchivez]

Why would they name it Flashback?

[@jordan_j_roy]

Rotten Raspberry because you do it backwards

[@Growtopian19]

Take it from someone who works here currently. It’s located in one of our newish zones where it’s 50s theme. So when your in this zone it’s kinda like flashing back to the 50s era. Also yes, u do go backwards too.

[@raincloud5309]

You mean rename it flashback... it was the boomerang

[@ParkerUnderhilll]

the ride going backwards hurts like a mf

[@Amihuman2000]

I bruised my back bad

[@Hufflepuff1216]

I went on this when I was 8 and I was the youngest and I was the only one not screaming

[@jsrcamp]

This was my now 9 year olds first big rollercoaster when he was 5. He was so tiny in the seat lol. He absolutely loved it though and that's what counts.

[@IlluminatedJones6]

Been on this thing around 50 times. Could of also have been named "The Remind" 😂 Bomberang and Flashback is is a classic name though!

They gave it a new paint job but it still sucks. And man does Great Escape stink lmao. The coaster at the front was my first looping coast but that one really sucks too.
