Ah, Lake Compounce is home to a very noteworthy boomerang for me, my first. But how was my first encounter with this often-cloned coaster? Well as the old saying states, "the first is the worst". That certainly is true of all the boomerangs I've been on.
Before my first ride on this Vekoma, I was scared simply because I had never gone backwards on a roller coaster before. However, this is one of the few coasters that I am scared to ride each and every time I ride it. Unfortunately it's for all the wrong reasons since I just fear the headache that the ride is capable of dishing out. Still, I often ride it once while at Lake Compounce since the line thankfully isn't too long.
My favorite seat as always on these boomerangs is the back simply because of that great first drop. After the first drop, the pain begins. The first half isn't too bad with only some minor headbanging in the cobra roll, but once the ride goes backwards, the headache really begins. While the vertical loop was fine and quite forceful, my head was screaming for mercy during the vicious cobra roll.
Zoomerang is a mediocre coaster for sure, but it's still worth riding since it usually has a minimal line. However, just be prepared for a Vekoma headbanging galore during that cobra roll. Thanks to containing the most headbanging of all the boomerangs I've been on, this one is deserving of the crown for the worst boomerang.
