What riders love
  • This is a mega intense ride that pulls up to 6 G’s and you feel every bit of it.
  • I love the showcase of power on Invertigo, every single element delivers crushing positive Gs, and the laterals on the cobra roll are amazing while providing little to no headbanging.
  • By far the most intense coaster in the park!
  • Going backwards through the inversions really makes this ride for me. It just makes me laugh.
  • It is super intense and that vertical loop pulls such high gs especially when you went backwards.
  • That cobra roll was mental.
  • Going in I thought this one was going to screw me up but it was surprisingly smooth and I did not experience any head banging.
  • I don't get how people hate Invertigo, it's pretty underrated in my opinion.
  • I will say Invertigo seems fairly underrated in general and has aged much better than most 90s Vekomas.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Kings Island

I think we all know it’s not going to last forever but it’s still a very intense ride and I personally think it’s been running a bit smoother lately...

johnjniehaus

It’s also relatively smooth and comfortable as well which surprised me.

Carter Eckhart

The intensity combined with the snappy, tight inversions and old-school over the shoulder restraints can lead to some serious headbanging.

thomas stanley

I haven’t gone on it since \`07, because I had a horrible headache afterwards and my friend that I rode with got sick and threw up after the ride.

najellin

Definitely pulls some serious Gs, but having a lot of experience with a Vekoma GIB kind of takes the wind out of the sails of this version.

Bryan Bonafede

If I ever go on it again, I’m only going backwards first or I won’t go on it, because my body’s trying to tell me that it’s not good for me to get on that thing.

najellin

Intensity is cool and all, but when you almost completely grey out for most of the ride’s duration, causing a headache, it’s just painful, not exhilarating.

I'm NotHere

What I got were the positives of a regular Boomerang (intensity, drop, backwards section) amplified.

Wesley Flowers

I don’t ride Invertigo because the g’s are too much for me.

markr

Invertigo was intense on all of the 5 senses and too forceful for its own good sometimes.

Zach S.

The inversions are fast and intense and the loop taken on the return run has the most Gs of any ride at KI or anything I have ever ridden.

Michael M.

When it drops, it goes stupidly fast down the hill and races through the station and through three inversions.

THe last time I rode the ride was a few years ago because I was lucky enough to walk on.  I literally felt like the ride was going to tear itself apart.

flightoffear1996

The layout is dumb and only allows there to be 1 train on the track at all times, and thus the capacity might actually be worse than FoF.

Elijah Bacelieri

The biggest drawback to this type of coaster is the very low capacity which leads to extremely slow moving lines.

Brian Sheldon
Height fear

It make it more of a scary experience.

iChase

Haha on the way up on the first drop sitting facing the ground I keep thinking " please don’t open the restraints".

Maverick44
Motion sickness risk

Bummer, this is the only ride that makes me dizzy.

Saerenzea

The entire time I felt like throwing up (and almost did).

Going in I thought this one was going to screw me up but it was surprisingly smooth and I did not experience any head banging.

Austin L., Captain Coaster review

On one side it is quite intense and it feels similar to the standard boomerangs which I do really enjoy.

Inverted Thrills, Captain Coaster review

No pain at all, as all headbanging was avoided by simply pinning my head to one side of the (surprisingly soft) restraint.

Arrow Die-Namics, Captain Coaster review

This was one of my favorites, I absolutely love rides that give you this feeling of G-forces since I love Batman at SFOG.

David S., Captain Coaster review

I like going up forward up the first lift hill because I can’t stand being pressed against my restraint for the long going up the first lifthill.

screamingnight, review

If Disney hadn’t saved Vekoma they would be out of business becuase of this era of crap coasters
