Your First Boomerang Ride

Boomerang: Coast to Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. One of the smoothest 'rangs I've been on. The Jazzland model was also extraordinarily smooth last year. My first Invertigo was Two Face at Six Flags America a few weeks ago, also pretty smooth.

The Bat at PCW. It was was by far my favorite ride, and my favorite park! Boomerangs may be clones, but they are still fun!

I get to join the crowd with Mind Eraser@ SFWoA. Even though it's a boomarang, the lines aren't too bad :)

Mind Eraser @ Geauga Lake.

This was when GL was the only park I went to, and I went like 5x a year (rather that 30 now) and it became my # 1 coaster, which died the minute I hit another park.

Mind Eraser..Geauga Lake...1997

Loved it then, and like every other Boomerang, love it now!

Mind Eraser at SFWOA opening season season ride count 50! This ride rocked and still does I dont know why people bash these rides so much.

Boomerang @ Fiesta Texas. It wasn't too bad, I'd ride it again.

Mind Eraser at SFWOA last year. I never bothered to ride one of these because no else seems to like them (at least among enthusiasts). But I was surprised I actually liked the ride! I wouldn't wait in a long line for a ride, but if the lines short, its a decent ride.

Boomerang at KBF! I was seven and barely reached the 52" mark. I rode it with my mom and was freaked out by the drop. Also it was my first looping coaster! Afterwards we went to Soap Box Racers.

My first Boomerang was Boomerang at Knott's Berry Farm. I don't really remember my first ride on it.

Sidewinder at Hersheypark. Unlike most Boomerangs, this one had theming

my first boomerang was also at KBF. I rode it about one month after it opened, and the restraints flew open on me as I was going backwards through the last inversion! I think I already posted about this before, but you wanted to hear about the first time I went on a Boomerang.

After a span of 10 or 11 years of not going to Hersheypark (my "home park") I returned there in 1999 and I rode Sidewinder for the first time. The day I was there it was overcast and the park was rather empty so it was a walk on.

I was not very fond of it. I found it a little painful. I've only ridden it 3 times total. My wife likes it so when ever we go there, we have to ride it. If there is no line, I don't mind.

Should I run into any of these contraptions in other parks, I would still ride them... once because "they are there", but I doubt if I would do many if any re-rides.

"I wasn't always this cynical, but then I started kindergarden..."

my first Boomerang was at SFOT 2 years ago, Flashback. I actually kind of liked it, rode it about 4 times until my ears were sore.

The Boomerang @ SFMW.

Top Gun laps: 7
Times gone to PGA: 3

Also a Sea Serpent break in. What a sweet ride back in the 80's... Never went on another boomer for years.

Boomerang @ KBF. Sounds like that was first for a lot of us. In third grade, my best friend and I went on it. We were scared to h***, but once it got going, we loved every moment!

Life is like a coaster---You go up, down, turn-around, and upside-down...and then there's all that pressure on your head, too...
