What riders love
  • The theming is unbelievable, and just enjoying the smell of the flavor you get in the tunnel is awesome.
  • The tunnel also had a nice touch where it would have a unique scent every time you rode (ours was grape but it was only during the backward ride).
  • I absolutely love the retheming of this ride to jolly rancher remix and in my opinion it gave the ride some life.
  • Good intensity with six inversions, and the vest restraints prevent headbanging.
  • The anticipation leading up to the coaster dropping you is awesome!
  • Pretty intense ride and relatively comfortable thanks to the vests.
  • The loop going backwards is insane, even more than the other boomerangs.
  • Also the inversions backwards felt like I was about to die. It’s awesome sauce.
  • They have an intense backwards loop and fun inversions.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Hersheypark

I was expecting this to ride pretty rough and provide headbanging, but I was pleasantly surprised by a smooth ride.

Sean Colligan

The new trains are comfortable.

David

The restraints are the vests which are better then any normal OTSRs but the rise rattles so much it doesn’t make a difference.

Jack Jack J.

Definitely a bit of headbanging on going backwards, but then again, this is a Vekoma Boomerang we’re talking about.

Brandon Gorgone

The backwards loop succeeding this is the best part of the ride for sure, offering insane positive G’s, possibly the best in the park to be honest.

Sean Colligan

Forwards is fine, but backwards is too intense, especially on that loop.

CoasterKing

Boomerangs, as always, pull great forces, but they will forever and always be a one-and-done for the credit.

MapleFlakes

Not only is the ride very smooth for a Vekoma Boomerang, it’s CRAZY intense, and the theming and soundtrack add this extra layer of excitement that just gets you hyped to ride.

Beau

That being said, they do have a place at many parks and they can be very good rides, some of the most forceful shuttle coasters out there.

Coaster College 2

The positive G-forces and quick direction changes through this element are quite disorienting, and I like that.

Mostly Coasters

It also might be because this one seemed a bit faster and I think boomerangs do much better when the speed isn’t turned too high.

Max S.

It also contributes to a heightened sense of speed, and of course you get more sensory overload with flashing lights and sound effects.

Mostly Coasters

Capacity is still not the best due to it being a shuttle coaster, but the restraints are comfy and the theming is super cool!

Evangelion Martini

Loading times could be a little better but that’s probably because when I went they had two rows for fast pass only.

Motion sickness risk

This was the first time I felt sick on a rollercoaster.

Alexander Marko

I felt dizziness during the ride but I enjoy these older ones.

Pretty intense ride and relatively comfortable thanks to the vests.

Carter Eckhart, Captain Coaster review

These rides are still rough and uncomfortable, even with the vests.

Cam Mooers, Captain Coaster review

This is basically just a regular boomerang, but there’s a lot of theming added on to it and it feels like a party.

Jonas, Captain Coaster review

I was expecting this to ride pretty rough and provide headbanging, but I was pleasantly surprised by a smooth ride.

Sean Colligan, Captain Coaster review

The flavor tunnel and the new theme of the station is great.

Austin L., Captain Coaster review

This is just a boomerang however this is definitely the best of the normal ones I have ridden.
