Jumping Jack Flash was introduced to the park in the 1999 season as part of the "war on lines", and occupied a visually striking location.   It was a spectator favorite with its colors and sudden drops.   The ride was plagued with problems and was removed at the end of the 2003 season.

Jumping Jack Flash was a Huss "Jump" ride, and had the name "Freefall" on the ride signs, which confused many park-goers.
