Voxelmatic Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Only Sidewinder @ Hersheypark. I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 According to my coaster list (in order by state, because I never thought to do chronological order and now it's too late to remember that):  Boomerang - Knott's Berry Farm Tidal Wave - Ocean City MD Boardwalk (I forget which one) Flashback - SFNE Sidewinder - Hersheypark The Bat - Canada's Wonderland  The Bat was actually my first coaster with inversions, so I've got that going for me.

Athletekim Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Tidal Wave at Trimper's Rides on the Ocean City, MD Boardwalk. Rode it twice within an hour...Didn't feel so well after the 2nd ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns the ride from brain trauma to actually enjoyable. Â Hey, If you like Sidewinder and its new train and R-E-S-T-R-A-I-N-T-S, then you should check out The Carolina Cobra at Carowinds; they have the same train and R-E-S-T-R-A-I-N-T-S designs.

stashua123 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Only one ive been on is: Â INVERTiGO at Kings Island. Most intense rollercoaster ive ever been on at 5g's. It was so intense i felt like i was going to cramp and i nearly greyed out on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Boomerang at Wild Adventures! It was my first upside down roller coaster and I don't remember it being too bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterdoug Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I've ridden: Boomerang @ Knott's Berry Farm Boomerang: Coast to Coaster @ Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Sidewinder @ Hersheypark  So, that makes three...which is two too many. To me, boomerangs are merely credits to be obtained through one ride each...as long as I've gotten my fill of the other rides in the park and have the time to spare.

IneedTPforbunghole Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Carolina Cobra - Carowinds (Sometime in 2009, in July) Boomerang - Painful Adventures (Sometime in 2011, again I think July) Â JEEZ, Wild Adventures was terrible coaster-wise. The only smooth one was Cheetah, and even then it was kinda violent. But Carolina Cobra was actually pretty fantastic. First you this, ,and then you this, .

Jerrykoala2112 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Darien Lake Boomerang - Elitch Gardens Flashback - Six Flags New England Flash Back - Six Flags Over Texas Sidewinder - Hersheypark Boomerang - Worlds of Fun Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas Zoomerang - Lake Compounce Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Great Escape Deja 'Vu - Six Flags Great America (if it counts) Â That's a whopping 9 too many boomerangs that I've been on. If you count GIB's, then that is 10. And off the top of my head, the one that was somewhat -remotely- re-ride able was Zoomerang at Lake Compounce.

simon8899 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Not so many as they're not that common in my area...  Knotts Berry Farm - Boomerang - my first with classic Arrow train, with some "nice" headbangs in the Cobra-Roll Sommerland Syd - Tornado - Inverted Boomerang, this was really fun, surprised that this had no headbanging at all Walibi Holland - Speed Of Sound - with great brand-new Vekoma trains and rubberbelt-like OTSRs this coaster is top fun  In September at Vienna Prater I'll likely add the Boomerang which sports new trains with lapbars only - quite looking forward to it!

Josh Linn Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just Sidewinder at Hershey, but one is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11slataus Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I actually enjoy Boomerangs quite a bit. Although I wouldn't stand in a huge line for any of them.  Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas Carolina Cobra - Carowinds Boomerang - Worlds of Fun  Carolina Cobra's my favorite because of the trains, but none of these 3 I thought were that rough.

RideofSteel Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Just... -Flashback at Six Flags New England -- Somehow it managed to be rough just going up the lift. It was terrible. -Goliath at Six Flags New England which was awesome. Very smooth and very forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I rode one: Boomerang (SFDK) and it is currently the only coaster I hate, but in January, I'm riding Boomerang (KBF) which I'm preparing to be horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 One.  Sidewinder at Hershey.  I avoid the things. Even if it means lower count, quality I go for haha  Though the new trains/restraints on the Sidewinder made the ride...smooth : O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrenata Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not that I'm proud of, but here's my list:  Boomerang - Freizeit-Land Geiselwind Boomerang - Playcenter São Paulo (by the way, this one no longer exists, it has been sold to Costa Rica) Boomerang - Fantasilandia Boomerang - Parque de la Costa Carolina Cobra - Carowinds Cobra - Walibi Belgium Flashback - Six Flags New England Speed of Sound - Walibi Holland   We should do the SLC Challenge!

ytterbiumanalyst Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just one, at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Having had that experience, I can say I don't really want to repeat it. I guess it wasn't really all that bad, just not fun. At all. Rough coasters I can take, and even enjoy. I like Timber Wolf and Screamin' Eagle, and both are pretty capable of beating you up. However, a rough looper is another story. Ninja was a once-in-a-lifetime ride; I'm not making that mistake again. Boomerang is of a similar ilke. Hence I've never been on the one at WoF, and I'll probably end up skipping the new old one at SF St. Louis too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Boomerang - Knott's Boomerang - SFDK Flashback - SFNE Zoomerang - Compounce Sidewinder - Hershey Carolina Cobra - Carowinds  Some are worse than others, I'd say Hershey's is the best (with the new restraints) and SFNE's is the worst!

sfog1985 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Boomerang - Knott's Berry Farm Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Darien Lake Flashback - Six Flags Over Texas Flashback - Six Flags New England Sidewinder - Hersheypark Zoomerang - Alabama Adventure Zydeco Scream - Six Flags New Orleans  Seen, but didn't ride: Bat - Canada's Wonderland  9 out of a possible 10 for me. I still enjoy them, but they're only worth one ride now, ideally with a short line. Hershey's was definitely the worst (back in 2004 with the old-style Vekoma train) of those I've ridden. Most of the others are pretty comparable to each other, although I think the ones with Arrow trains (KBF, SFOT, AA, SFNO) tended to run a bit smoother than those with Vekoma trains. That may just be my warped perception though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
