This one is much smoother, so I could actually enjoy the uniqueness of a loop and cobra roll backwards
The backward section is a lot of fun and taking a loop backward is pretty cool.
Intense vertical loop especially going backwards, and the first drop is always great.
Maybe the scariest thing about it is being pulled backwards up the lift at the beginning, seeing where you're going all the while.
Great first drop, disorienting, and somewhat fun.

The smoothest Vekoma Boomerang I’ve ridden so far.
David
After you navigate your way through the cobra roll with only mild headbanging, you go into a loop.

...better like so so so much better i would have taken a small family coaster in that spot over a rough boomerang the head banging is also a really big problem i’m a very short individual and I’ll hit...

I started to gray out a bit on the vertical loop--I think the force of that loop is underrated.
Matt McIrvin
The loop is fun and it pulls quite a lot of Gs.

This ride is incredibly nauseating, but a lot of fun.

It can make you pretty sick and dizzy if you keep going on this over and over again.

Always follow the rules, warnings and restrictions posted by the park.

Colin M., Captain Coaster reviewcall me crazy but this is one of the better boomerangs that I have ridden and for the people that complain about roughness well yeah it would probably be a bit smoother if it had vests but still a fun ride
David F., Captain Coaster reviewThe pros though is that the anticipation on the pull back for the first drop is great.
Isaiah White, Captain Coaster reviewThere is the classic headbanging you get with these models but the loop and cobra roll forwards and backwards will never not be fun.
Clayton Latone, Captain Coaster reviewI started to gray out a bit on the vertical loop--I think the force of that loop is underrated.
Matt McIrvin, Captain Coaster reviewThis is a very good boomerang and rides quite smooth compared to Flashback at the nearby SFNE.
