This is nothing special, besides the new train. Boomerangs are just old! - Bradley Keith

It is time for Vekoma to surrender. Enough Boomerang coasters! They are incredibly boring! - Adam Clinard

Unbeleivably smooth, love the new style of train. Hope people will give it a shot. Oh and it does make the head spin as it's former name suggest. It does look like they have the kinks worked out better now, seems to be running much better now. Still an enjoyable ride, I hit it any time there are no lines. - SC Todbear

This is your run of the mill boomerang, but the real buzz here is the train. I love this Verkoma train! Every new coaster should have this. It makes the ride a lot smoother and your head will thank you for the tremendous space that it gives. The ride itself is fun, especially the view over the park and the second release. Overall I would recommend this ride, but more for the train than the ride itself. - Corbin Barker
