This is a fun coaster, and I actually blacked out on it. I was on the first run, going forwards, and I looked up as we were going through the loop and then looked down real quick when we got to the top...Everything go black for a second and then I woke up and we were starting to head backwards....weird. I was fine. And actually went and rode it again after that. Nothing happened the second time.

So far this has been the only Vekoma Boomerang I have been on, but it isn't that bad. There was about as much head banging as Rock 'N' Roller Coaster @ WDW, and that was pretty smooth. These rides should get a little more credit seeing as they get G's of 5.2. Overall, a pretty fun ride.

Wow...5.2 G's?!?!?!
I've never ridden this and this sounds like the first coaster I will ever chicken out on!
