Théo the little french Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I really love Walibi Rhone Alpes' Boomerang! It's really funny, really soft and relax in fact. Okay, I've to admit this is the only "real" coaster I've ridden until now, but it's far away as bad and rough as many people love to say! If Robb and Elissa have a look on my post, well, I'm sad to learn them, that the "abnormal Boomerang" is no more! Indeed, they've changed this year the way to brake the train: it's doesn't need 4 or 5 times to stop, only 2 times now. To my view that's a bad thing 'cause it may have been unique on a boomerang and it must have been funny to be stopped in the cobra roll....

snoflake15 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Cobra Roll I see you are from Glasgow and weren't even born at the time of the Garden Festival. It was only on for the summer across from the SECC. It was fantastic and was great for the City. Where those flats are now was all wasteland before the festival. And it had the only decent coaster Scotland has ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geekgrrl Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Firehawk at King's Island isn't too terrible, and Sidewinder at Hersheypark only hurt me a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastered Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have a couple of favorit Vekoma's. 1 - It used to be called Stealth @ Paramount's Great America Now this flyer is located at Carowinds (Nighthawk) I hope to reride it next year. 2 - Deja Vu (Six Flags Magic Mountain) This is the highest, biggest, fastest, meanest and smoothest kind of boomerang rollercoaster in the world. 3 - Invertigo (PGA/CGA) This is the only Vekoma i had a blackout in, not from the smashing but from the g-forces. First drop was backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragsterfan420 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'd have to go with Firehawk at Kings Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraken613 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ah Rock N' Rollercoaster has to be it. Im not a fan of their flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bspellx5 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Expedition Everest-I liked the themeing alot and the backwards part was pretty cool, and I was at Darien Lake this past week and their Boomerang was the best boomerang I've been on, there was NO headbanging and it was actually enjoyable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thundercoaster for me. Others I really enjoyed are Wild Mouse @ Idlewild Big Thunder Mountain - Disney Paris Any Giant or Inverted Boomernag Colorado Adventure Loup Garou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalepi_Konei Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Expedition Everest for the win. Though its an EXTREMELY close 2nd with RnR at Hollywood Studios *cough*MGM*cough. There are downsides to each... On RnR it headbangs me a bit. On EE going backwards down the hill I got extremely sick (headache and nauseaus sp?) Speaking of that on EE does anyone else get sick going backwards, for me and my sister it happens in the EXACT same spot every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocaColaBoy Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Speaking of that on EE does anyone else get sick going backwards, for me and my sister it happens in the EXACT same spot every time. I really like Indiana Jones when it went backwards at Disney Land Paris. Anyhow, back on topic. I thought Xpress was a good, intense ride, but a little head banging towards the end. Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris was very good (for sure, the theming helped) and throws you round in a good way, but by far the best one I have been on is Big Thunder Mountain at DLP. Goudurix has an interesting layout and in that sense, potential to be a really good ride, but its not, because it to rough. The SLC also is a good layout, but its let down by roughness. I didn't like Robin Hood though. No way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think you guys are missing it. Vapor Trail at Sesame Place is my favorite Vekoma followed by Rollerskater at SFKK. They should really just stick to the family versions. Great rides and thus they can't screw up by putting the inversions in since they're for families.

MixedDrink Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The Bat at Canada's Wonderland. Not as horrible as I thought it would be, (Although Vekoma trains are actually MIA on that ride, Wonderland used the third train from Dragon Fire to save a buck. I think it also might of helped the ride a bit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Stealth/Borg Assimilator/NightHawk. Love the trains. Miss the ball. Though when you do think of it, the coaster truly was assimilated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I've ridden Knott's Boomerang, SFDK's Boomerang and Kong, and CGA's Invertigo. If you want to count Gadget's Coaster at Disneyland too. Only saw SFMM's Deja Vu but the line was pretty long so I skipped. But of all of them, Invertigo stands out. It's pretty smooth, even smoother than a certain B&M coaster (you know what I'm talking about) which I find ironic. Since Haunt, I've been having an Invertigo addiction and been riding that ride a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Déja Vu (SFOG) & Firehawk are the first ones to come to mind as my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absimilliard Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Gravity Max is my favorite Vekoma. For the cloned models, Mayan Adventure is my favorite SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 The Vekoma I dislike the least would be Deja Vu at SFMM, actually that one isn't bad, when it's operating that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 1. Aftershock 2. Deja Vu (SFMM) 3. Invertigo (CGA) I don't particularly care for standard Boomerangs, but my favorites are the ones at KBF and WOF. Outside of my top 3 list, I don't rate any Vekomas I've ridden higher than 5/10.
