Flashback
This the scariest, short coaster I could think of. A Vekoma Boomerang called Flashback. This recreation mostly takes insporation Flying Cobras at Carowinds.
What should I build next?
If you have an idea that could improve my workflow, I'd love to hear it. Let's work together and build better custom and high quality coaster models!
