Boomerang — Attraction in Eureka

I've not ridden a ton of roller coasters, but the Boomerang at Six Flags St. Louis is definitely the worst I've been on yet! It was super janky and rough for its model. Some of this cloned coaster model can be great, but this isn't. I got headbanging in places that made no sense, the cobra roll was miserable and the second spike had the worst moment yet. It was like being in a car crash and that's saying something considering Ninja also is super rough. The thing is that every foot of track on Boomerang tracked worse than Ninja. No one moment on Ninja was even close to as painful or headache inducing as the Boomerang. I honestly wish they would just tear it down and get a flat ride or better coaster. Anything would be an improvement! A miserable Vekoma that should've been demolished after...

Fun, steel roller coaster that starts off going forward and finishes going in reverse. The ride was not too bad, the speed were fast, and it has loops and inversions that make it a good thrill ride.

I took two stars off based on my visit. During the day the ride kept having to be closed down for some reason. When it opened up for short times that allowed riders to board and ride, it made the lines long and the wait was one of the longer ones in the park. Outside of that, it was a fun coaster but it was the only one in the park we failed to ride more than once...

This coaster model was seemingly purchased by every attender of IAAPA, and I get why. From the ground, it's a pithy thrill with inversions and reverse motion. However, the ride only runs one car, which slows the line down.

Considering the slowness of the line, the payoff of the actual ride is not equivalent. Also, you MUST keep your head against the head rest during the reverse, or you will slam it into the seat. I learned my lesson on opening day of the ride...
