Performance

Vs. other coasters at Mid America Adventure

Surprisingly, this is probably the least rough boomerang I’ve been on, but that doesn’t make the ride any more enjoyable.

Ethan Finn

Very surprised with the smoothness it is amazingly smooth.

@YTshortsMW77

This one isn’t the smoothest, which is somewhat surprising as it is the "newest" one I know of--or more correctly the one reassembled the most recently.

Brian Sheldon

I said it was a little rattley but not too bad.

Evan G.

Getting pulled up the lift backwards is a fun buildup and the positive Gs are intense - actually a bit too intense for me.

Duncan G.

I’ve never experienced a sensation like that before and it’s way more intense than you would expect.

Max S.

It’s a pretty intense ride, nothing on the level of I305 or even Mr.

BLITZN00DLE

This was the more comfortable than the other boomerangs i e ridden with the original OTSR’s but it was the least intense so it’s my least favorite.

Carter Eckhart

The lines were very short when I visited this park so this was an easy and quick thrill that I would recommend.

Max S.

The capacity sucks, the experience is boring to say the least, and it’s uncomfortable in the process.

Brian Sheldon, Captain Coaster review

The rest of the ride was fun, but that drop is the lasting memory has stuck with me.

Evan G., Captain Coaster review

It’s a terrain boomerang so that’s a nice change, plus it gives you a great view of the park looking downhill.

Carter Eckhart, Captain Coaster review

I haven’t ridden it since it opened years ago because it was too short of a ride and very uncomfortable!

@MagicalMistoffolees, review

The ride itself is fun, but the shoulder restraints are too small.
