This is a Vekoma boomerang model coaster. There is an identical ride at Six Flags in St. Louis too. They both feel the exact same, which I find very bumpy. The seats make you bang your head really hard on the side of them, making for a very uncomfortable experience. It does not help that these models also go backwards, and upside down 6 times throughout the ride. Your neck hurts after from the bumping, especially when going backwards. Boomerang is not my cup of tea.
