In order to open flashtimeline in Splunk 6 you first need to remove this from the <view> tag:

type="redirect" target="search"

Else you'll keep getting redirected to the new search view.

As @Martin said its still there but not set as default. You can access it from Search & Reporting ->Dashboards -> Search (this is name/title of the view).
Or by launching this

flashtimeline was the default search view in Splunk prior to version 6. It's been superseded by search.
