Performance

Vs. other coasters at Worlds of Fun

Improved compared to my ride a few weeks ago - not sure if any work was done but was much more comfortable.

Alex Goering

I particularly like this Boomerang as this one is really smooth and fun.

Incredible Coasters

They are well known for being uncomfortable headbangers and, unsurprisingly, Worlds of Fun’s version is much the same.

Theme Park James

This one is a bit herky-jerky, but nothing too terrible.

Brian Sheldon
Speed sensation

The drop is really fun and you get some nice speed.

Incredible Coasters

Hell no I rode this yesterday and you can’t even scream when you get on this thing from how fast it’s going plus with every turn you take I hit my head and I thought I fainted cause I could hear...

Motion sickness risk

The roll is a little disorienting in reverse.

Alex Goering, Captain Coaster review

So much headbanging, I’ve been riding this coaster since I was a kid and have never gotten off it without a headache.

Phoenix Jones, Captain Coaster review

You get a pretty view of Worlds of Fun while going up the lift hill.

Incredible Coasters, published review

They are well known for being uncomfortable headbangers and, unsurprisingly, Worlds of Fun’s version is much the same.

Theme Park James, published review

Inversions are bad going forward but decent going backward somehow.

coasterflats, Captain Coaster review

This ride is fun but the scary part is when you go up before the ride starts because you’re like dangling, it’s a weird feeling
