Summary: Standard Vekoma b-rang
July 10th, 2003
A little bit of a tight squeeze to get into the seat, this Vekoma boomerang-style ride is fairly typical. Not much theming, but it's smoother than other 'rangs I've been on. Best element, better than the cobra roll AND the loop, is (believe it or not) the fact that the train pauses (due to a loss of speed) as it approaches the top of the back hill, a split-second before the back lift chain catches it. That little hesitation is just enough to get the heart racing just a little bit more. There's a little more head-bouncing in the reverse cobra roll than there is in the forward direction, but overall it's pretty smooth. Besides, Sidewinder is off to the side a little bit, so the queue is generally pretty short.

Summary: Another Boomerang
April 18th, 2003
This boomerang isn't as cramped as others, but is cramped never the less. Like boomerang it has little theming. There is a little head-banging in the cobra roll, but not that bad. The queue is usually short, because it is located off the the main path. Definely worth your time for the short wait.
