Flashback is a steel roller coaster of shuttle design currently in use at Six Flags New England. The ride has one train with a capacity of twenty eight riders, two across in each row. When the coaster starts, the train is pulled backwards up the lift hill, then dropped through the loading gate through a cobra roll and then one loop. At the end of this cycle the train is pulled up the lift hill at the end of the track, then released allowing the train to go back through the loops backwards, hence the name of the coaster. The ride has an off-the-shelf Vekoma design common in many amusement parks.
