Statement about the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger Click here for our statement about how wiki content will change following the Six Flags-Cedar Fair merger.
Before it moved to Six Flags New England, the roller coaster was located at Kentucky Kingdom where it was known as The Vampire, with its controversial slogan "Give blood at your local park". The ride opened at Kentucky Kingdom in 1990, when the park reopened after being closed for two seasons. Kentucky Kingdom was bought by Premier Parks in 1997 and merged to become Six Flags in 1998, renaming the park to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in 1998. The ride continued to operate at the park until 1999, when it experienced multiple breakdowns. It was later closed and dismantled in 1999 and was moved to Six Flags New England, where it was renamed Flashback and opened to the public in May 2000.
