Sammy* Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 this is a bit off subject but since were talking boomerangs, I will go ahead and mention this. I thought Magnum was the first roller coaster to exceed 200 feet in height. But Moonsault Scramble @ Fuji-Q Highland, a boomerang, operated from 1983-2000. Stood 230 ft. tall.

supertrooper Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Only 3 (Kentucky Kingdom, SFOT, and The Great Escape). I don't really care about credits, so if I don't think I'll enjoy the ride, I pass it up...which is generally the case with boomerangs. Edit: forgot about Kings Island. So 3 standard, 1 inverted.

Meteornotes Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I don't keep track of my coaster credits, so this number may or may not be accurate, but it looks like I've been on 26 of these delightful rides. My dents in my skull say it's more like 2600 or so, though. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 So far this year, I have not increased my boomerang count. Anyone else add any of these delightful coasters to their list? dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not so far but will add 2 in the fall. UGH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 ^^ As Martha would say "thats a good thing." I'll be adding two more of these fantastic creations to my belt in a few weeks on the Texas trip, and with luck that'll be the only two I add this year. Just looked at my list and it appears I've been on 11 Boomerangs, so it'll be lucky number 13 later this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I think 12 regular ones, two invertigos, and three GIBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 After I went to Elitches' I know have 2 boomerangs and a G.I.B. SFNE's Boomerang wasn't great, but Elitches' was smooth and quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Coaster Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I've been on one giant inverted boomerang (SFNE's Goliath) and then six standard ones. Of the boomerangs, Goliath is easily the best and I found it to be a very smooth and thrilling experience. Then I enjoy the ones at the Great Escape and Darien Lake (it must be something about New York haha). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ccron10 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have finally added two boomerangs to my list and a inverted boomerang. What is strange by this is that when I hopped on Boomerang at SFFT, I was really expecting it to be worse than Sidewinder, but in fact it was actually pretty good! It wasn't rough, didn't slam into the brakes at the end, and seemed re-rideable. Then I rode the relocated one at SFStL and while it was slightly worse than the other one, it was still better than Sidewinder. When I got back from my trip, I re-rode Sidewinder and it seems like it improved slightly while I was on my trip and went back to be my #1 boomerang. Here is my ranking: 1. Sidewinder 2. Boomerang (SFFT) 3. Boomerang (SFStL) As for the suspended boomerangs, even though Kings Island's doesn't have a habit of stranding people like Stinger, it was pretty crappy compared to it. It may have had a new paint job, but the station looked like it could use some work. 1. Stinger (DP) 2. Invertigo (KI) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Sadly my standard boomerang count has increased from 14 to 17 since I started this thread with the addition of 'rangs from: Six Flags Over Texas Six Flags Fiesta Texas (I'm totally counting it twice) Six Flags St Louis Here's hoping my count stays the same.
