Dude the drop going forward feels relaxing this year. And shockingly there were a lot of people waiting. But where I was (front seat) there was no line
i remember getting to ride this 7 times in a row once while waiting for the laser lightshow, there was nobody in line so the operator just kept restarting the ride
I was a Ride Operator at Boomerang in 2001. We loved to let guests stay on when the lines were empty, often at the end of the day before the laser show. It was not only a blast for us, but guests loved it so much, we'd gets hugs and high-fives when it was over. Best job I ever had!
I remember seeing this ride stuck one summer, the people in the cars were nearly upside down and the fire department was giving them water because it was 100 degrees out and they were sitting in the sun for hours while they worked to free them
@@VortexVR2010 oh- well then, maybe it’s just different between people. I’m going tomorrow, and riding the viper for the first time so I’ll tell you what I think after lmfao
Is this a smooth Boomerang coaster like Zoomerang at Lake Compounce, or could it use the new restraints like they have on Sidewinder at Hersheypark or the Flying Cobras at Carowinds?
It's a smoother one. It is kind of bumpy, but the restraints are more comfortable so there's basically no headbanging. Definitely better than the oldest ones
@@Halloween4life what’s funny is Boomerang is without a doubt the least intense coaster at DL. Predator and Viper will beat you up, Superman has that speed, mind eraser is ummm; well mind eraser lol.
@@Halloween4life And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Darien Lake is really a blast from the past when it comes to their coasters. Only the 2 newer ones were designed by computer; so you can really feel the imperfections in the tracks, but that makes them memorable.
I went on this yesterday! I hated it 💀 my friend made me go on it. Its so fast when it goes down, ands its so scary backwards. And when it drops from going up the first time its so steep 😭
It’s sooo much scarier when it goes forward in my opinion. I highly doubt you hate it, you probably were just too scared, if you ride coasters multiple times than it becomes fun once the fear is gone
I literally kissed the ground after my first ride on it. It was my first coaster ever, and I was 39. The first drop was terrifying. Then I did Ride Of Steel and loved it. My second ride on Boomerang was a blast. I was addicted to coasters at that point, and a week later I was a Ride Operator, working the area with Boomerang and Viper. Keep riding. It gets infinitely better!
don't u EVER say that again. the viper is not under rated. it has a trash rating because it is trash. that ride is so painful i was about to unbuckle my seatbelt willingly. i was asking God to unalive me. I wanted to pour sand and salt into my eyeballs. So u best take that back if u know whats good 4 u. bye bestieee lolololol
In 2002 after SF took over Geauga Lake they were allowing my sight impaired sister with a white cane to ride twice in a row without getting off. So riding this clone twice in a row in my early 40's was too much and made me sick for a while even with my motion sickness pill.
Neither of Darien Lake's Vekoma coasters (Boomerang or Mind Eraser) are anything special, but Boomerang is a truly pointless, useless coaster and I really wish they'd replace it with something good.
@@gjp373 it was constantly broken down when I was a ride operator at Darien Lake. Even when it did operate (which was rare), all it does is go forward and backward, a novelty that soon wears off especially when you discover that nearly every regional amusement park has that coaster. It's cheap, it doesn't really deliver, and there's nothing unique or special about it.

They put new wheels on it this year so it seems smoother at least for a Vekoma

this was my first coaster here, AND 2ND RIDE. but amazing. just keep your head back!
My first coaster there too 😋
It’s called the Flashback at the Six Flags over Texas in Arlington.
it’s actually boomerang at six flags Darien lake
@@ash.may.xits the same ride, just red.

How the hell do you even go about freeing people in that position
This was my first looping roller coaster that I went on
@starbars TT you felt nothing?! I got such a bad headache
And why didnt you ride the viper first its amazing
@@VortexVR2010 I feel like the older you get the more affected you are by loops and just any coaster, so if your older than that’s probably why

This has always been my traditional last ride of the night. Cant waitbto rerode thos, especially since the laser show is back this year!
im going to darien lake tommorow. I CANT WAIT TO RIDE THIS
How was it

its one of the better ones ive heard. no headbanging
I rode this layout for the first time at Geauga Lake.
I love this rollercoaster
New POV time!
Heck yea
@@CoasterCollege 😳😳😳
that looks terrifying but fun
When your on back seat going up forwards. It can get a bit scary ngl but after that the rest is fun

God that cobra roll was so weird when I went, messed up my head
This ride is pretty smooth but when you’re going backwards through the loops, it hurts your back so bad
Yeah I agree. But it’s only when you’re going backwards.
It’s just trippy to me doing backwards loops
Damn I've experienced no pain from this ride.
One of the best parts is going the beginning where you go up slowly
This is the best looking POV ive seen of this ride. This is the one yat got taken down right?

I always blackout when going backwards. I have never seen what it looks like. Should I be worried?
I went on it today and I was scared and excited at the same timeee
most under rated sfdl roller coaster
Edit: I take that back its actually the viper.

@@ArrowLooper mmmmmmm no. no it is not but we all have our own opinions
@@lulyanatsegai9308 there is no seatbelt on viper???
@@lulyanatsegai9308 how were you even in pain
Got sick for 3 hours after riding this, was fine till the backwards part, which flipped my stomach
How do you get sick for 3 whole hours after a roller coaster wh

I felt nauseous on this ride. But it was fun.
I went on this and it was the most scariest thing of my life
Then clearly you ain’t never been scared
My first looping coaster
Same
I think i went on this when i was like 7 or something and i loved it
Same
7 year old me is stronger than current me, cause I went on this today and it traumatized me.
I felt dizzy and the side of my head hurt a bit after this
Cool
“My head hurts”
I felt dizzy after riding this
Don’t like how it make yu feel like yu gunna fall out when it goes up but it a cool ride

Mid tbh
Someone’s safety restraint came undone at the top and I have a video
Did the ride stop immediately?
Ethan Z no. They had to stop it
