Afater all these years, I finally got to ride a boomerang yesterday. I didnt think it was half-bad either, but it certainly wasnt good at that! What really stinks about this ride was the loading. Im not sure the requirement as far as number of riders it takes to run, but I think they simply let the first few passengers sit down, wait five minutes for any other passengers, and then let the train go. I didnt like it, especially with the all-day-wristband expiring at 6 ockloak and me wanting to ride as much as possible. As far as the ride goes, the first lift is cool because its backwards and gives a great view of the boardwalk, ocean, and other amusement parks. The drop is alright, followed by an awfully rough cobra roll, solid loop and second hill. The loop backward is probably the rides best inversion, but the preceeding cobra roll is brutal again. The pain really wasnt too bad. I was expecting pure hell and got purgatory I guess. Granted, I was way too tall for me to experience headbanging, but I thought the cobra roll was the only bad part. I did not like the non-padded seats which really hurt your butt through that cobra roll. Overall my first boomerang was okay, but certainly nothing special. And where are these 5.2 Gs RCDB says they pull?
