thoe124 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I've never been on a Boomerang, but i have been on an Inverted Boomerang. That being said, my least favorite Vekoma Inverted Boomerang, (If that counts), is Invertigo, here at Kings Island. Invertigo is also the only inverted boomerang i have been on, making it also my favorite Inverted Boomerang. 4 Quote
elyk Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 My least favorite boomerang is Goliath, at Six Flags New England. Good lord Vekoma... Not only is the ride incredibly rough, it even manages to bash your head while going straight. Its probably the roughest steel coaster I've ridden. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I'm still recovering from the brain damage I received from Sidewinder at Hersheypark in 2011. Ugh. Never again. That giant piece of crap makes Invertigo feel like Banshee. 2 Quote
homestar92 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 The Bat at Canada's Wonderland. Though it really wasn't bad. It was just slightly less fun than Boomerang at Darien Lake or the Carolina Cobra at Carowinds. For what it's worth, the Carolina Cobra is actually a wonderful coaster despite being a cookie cutter boomerang. 1 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I love GIB's, like Invertigos, and like Boomerangs. There is no bad Boomerang. You just have to know going into it that it will be rough. Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Twenty years from now, I hope you remember that post. Oh, to be young again! 2 Quote
LoraX Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Invertigo is my least favorite. Boomerangs are all created equal (bad). I don't think I would have loved them even if I was young. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
thegajone Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I loved Invertigo when I was young. It was one of my favorite coasters at KI at one point and I had no problem waiting in the long lines caused by its low capacity. Now though? No thanks. 1 Quote
Gplez90 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Definitely Goliath at Six Flags New England. I chipped a tooth on that thing! Its probably the top 5 roughest coasters I've been on. The drop facing down is great, but after that, the ride is totally unbearable. EDIT: Not to mention, the ride sounds like a F-16! The ride ops in the station have to wear ear muffs to deal with the sound all day! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Quote
faeriewench Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 The one at KI Boomerang at Knott's is only just slightly better than Invertigo...not by much though. Nearly all the Vekoma coasters I been on I don't really like anyway. Quote

LoraX Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I have rode even more Boomerangs since my last post. My opinion still stands. I will say even though I thought Carolina Cobra at Carowinds was by far the best of the worst coasters. 1 Quote
RollerColt Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I Rode Invertigo yesterday. Boy was it rough! Of course, the rain pelting my face probably didn't help matters.. ha! I think I've only got another few years left of my youth before that thing starts to tear my head apart... Quote
upstop Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 They're not called Headbanging Vekomas for no reason. Most of their coasters, in my opinion, are rough. Except for maybe Rockin RollerCoaster Staring Arrowsmith and maybe not the aggressive Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 2 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 My least favorite is all. But if I had to choose, I really really disliked Stinger at Dorney. Quote
LoraX Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I was not upset Stinger at Dorney was not running while we were there. 1 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 All Vekoma Boomerangs are fun rides that are not to be overlooked. 1 Quote
Hoeter Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 The only suspended Boomerang I've been on is Invertigo at Kings Island. There's a reason I've only ridden it twice over the years. Like Lora, I rode Carolina Cobra at Carowinds a few weeks back, and surprisingly that was the most enjoyable Boomerang I've been on. Andrew, not a fan of anything that is made in Vlodrop, Netherlands... Quote
homestar92 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 ^ Perhaps a go on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Rockin' Roller Coaster, or the newer iterations of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad would change your mind? 3 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 And Expedition Everest. And Firehawk. And Boomerangs. And SLCs. And Flying Dutchmen. Quote
Hoeter Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Yes. I have been on Rock N' Roller Coaster at Disney. That one slipped my mind. I actually enjoyed that one. I have not been on Expedition Everest. Last I was at Disney was 2007. In general, I'm not a fan of Vekoma. Quote
homestar92 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 As an added fun fact, the coaster from Final Destination 3 was a Vekoma. 2 Quote
