Just like every Vekoma Boomerang, this one is full of pain.

I would never ride this ride again. I don't recommend riding this ride unless you need a credit.

It could be better. but it does last a pretty long time for a boomerang coaster.

Well Boomerang, replaced the Corkscrew in 1990 because to make Knott's Roaring 20's/Boardwalk something more better than before. In 1990, it had blue and aqua scheme, in January of 2003, it was changed to puprle and chartuse color scheme because of its new owners, Cedar Fair.

I found this ride to be entertaining. I did not get that pain that other riders seemed to get. I found it to be smooth and simple and thrilling in the front seat.

Really rough and boring. Worst park in the ride.

I don't know why everybody likes this coaster so much considering I got beat up on it December '06. I'm going again in about two weeks, so hopefully, this time around will be better.
