downunder Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^^A boomerang at a place with "Pleasure" in the name, now there's false advertising. Here's mine, 14 how sad (yay, I've been on every Zoomerang), my worst crime is that I've been on the same 'rang in 3 different locations (over 2 continents): Bat - Canada's Wonderland (Operating 1987) Boomerang - La Ronde (Operating 1984) Boomerang - Knott's Berry Farm (Operating 4/6/1990) Boomerang - Karolinelund (- 1985) Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Darien Lake (Operating 5/16/1998) Carolina Cobra - Carowinds (Operating 3/28/2009) Cobra - PowerLand (Operating 2005) Demon - Wonderland Sydney (- 1992) Flashback - Six Flags New England (Operating 5/5/2000) Sea Serpent - Morey's Piers (Operating 1984) Sidewinder - Hersheypark (Operating 5/11/1991) Titan World - Expo Park (- 4/30/1988) Zoomerang - Lake Compounce (Operating 6/27/1997) Zoomerang - Alabama Adventure (Operating 5/8/2005) Credits to be claimed this year: Flashback - Six Flags Over Texas (Operating 1989) Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom (Operating 5/23/1997) and maybe some more...

palmerleeberry Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Let's see. I've copy your list and cut out the ones I've known I haven't ridden. Boomerang - Knott's Berry Farm (Operating 4/6/1990) Boomerang - Wild Adventures (Operating 1998) Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas (Operating 3/13/1999) Boomerang - Worlds of Fun (Operating 4/8/2000) Carolina Cobra - Carowinds (Operating 3/28/2009) Flashback - Six Flags Over Texas (Operating 1989) Flashback - Six Flags New England (Operating 5/5/2000) Head Spin - Geauga Lake & Wildwater Kingdom (- 1996) Sea Serpent - Morey's Piers (Operating 1984) Sidewinder - Hersheypark (Operating 5/11/1991) Zydeco Scream - Six Flags New Orleans (SBNO 6/10/2000) Holy Moly, compared with your list, I only rode a fraction of all the Boomerangs out there. I must say that this coaster has to have the record as the most duplicated coaster in the world. One last note: My first ride on a Boomerang coaster was at Hersheypark in 1992. After riding it, I was thinking that this coaster was much better than King Dominion's old King Kobra coaster. "Are you done yet? I miss you in bed."
