A standard Vekoma boomerang, hence the name. Fairly rough so be prepared to have your ears boxed.

Very intense, not a fun ride. - nick .

this ride is very rough but i still like it. none of my friends like it. its pretty fun but the wait time is a joke and it takes way to long going uo the first hill - isaiah mercado

I find that this ride is very uncomfortable, compared to the other rides that are exactly like this. - Thomas Furlong

This was one of the first non-circuit rides that I can recall in all of the SoCal theme parks. I have been to its competitor over at SFMM and had to try this out. This one has you sitting down. When the carts are pulled back to give it momentum, it is not as steep as the one in SFMM but I was fairly surprised on how quickly it ran. Overall, it fairly enjoyable going through its course, fowards then backwards. However, my only compaint was that carts seemed a little bit small so I had to squeeze into my seat. This could be an issue with larger people. Not to mention that the lap bar felt a little loose on me as I had space between me and the bar and the bar could not get down any further. If Knott's can improve on the carts, then it should be a good thrill ride for the thrill seekers. - D.S. Francisco
