For those of you who are familiar with my comments on this website, you know how much I loathe the Vekoma Boomerang. It is the most overused coaster in the world today with almost 50 of these rides in use at various parks. The Boomerang is a very slow loading attraction (if there is a line at all - no one seems to be riding it these days - hint, hint, WOF park officials), and the 30-second ride is definitely not worth any sort of wait. The whole trip feels like the beginning of a decent coaster, and just when it starts to get good, the ride ends. - James Rao Eh, it's a Boomerang. What more can I say? 4/10 - Blake Nieman I like Boomerangs and so do I like this as well. - Eugene Koh We got third to last row seats. I thought the towing out of the station up the hill was nifty. When I got off the ride, I began to feel somewhat nauseous. It was not so rough though, it just made me a little dizzy. The experience was ok, but the feeling after was not so. 4/10 - Jake Jones Not the best ride, the restraints give you hardly any room to move your arms or your head, making it hard to see anything in front of you and to move your arms at all. The trains feel very cramped also. There is a lot of head banging through the inversions (all of them), and it makes it worst going backwards. It is a good ride if you don't mind any of this, especially because it usually doesn't have any line on weekdays (or just a very small one). - Jake Gould As much as i like this ride i do agree i gets boring after awhile. But the quistion is if they did tear it down what would they replace in its spot? Its not a very big area for a indoor safari nor a small coaster so that only leaves a thrill ride. If i had to pick a thrill ride to replace the Boomerang i would either choose maXair or Demon Drop, both a Cedar Point if no one knew that. - Brad S. More attraction and restaurant ratings:
