Fun Too short Capacity Disappointing!

Ok I guess but the capacity is rubbish and it is too short and hardly no thrill. Queue is too compact but theming in one of the rooms is good. Not worth waiting a long time for.

Pace Smoothness Theming

Fun and smooth, first drop is really good on the back row. Solid family coaster but not a standout, theming is bizarre though in the middle of Frontier Falls- hope they retheme it this coming season.

Un family boomerang plutôt sympa, la théma dans la file d'attente m'a très agréablement surpris, niveau sensation c'est assez confortable et on prends quand même pas mal de vitesse par contre c'est très court. Petit point négatif aussi je trouve la situation du coaster assez mauvaise, avec un boomerang on peut faire des intégrations sympa mais là c'est juste posé au milieu d'une allée.

Un boomerang on ne peut plus classique mais avec une file ultra thématiser qui vaut à elle seul le détour.

Theming Fun Too short Capacity

Theming is a bit of a jumble of cars and western electricity (although they are individually well themed just weird together ) but the ride is short and being a shuttle naturally has a bad capacity

Un boomerang qui a une file d'attente très bien thématisée ! Pour l'attraction, ça reste fun et c'est tout ce qu'on lui demande

Ryanair legroom, baffling how they managed to make a solid type of coaster this boring. The queue is okay though.

A fun little family boomerang which has some surprising forces to it. Accelerator has a few surprising pops of airtime and pull forces around some of the bends. Going through the layout backwards is the most fun part although some of the turn are a little uncomfortable. Pretty good theming inside the queue line and a few bits along the layout. Had surprisingly good capacity for a boomerang so the queues weren't too long through out the day.

This is the best of the family boomerangs i've done. Good fun layout with some fairly intense moments going forward. Nice view from the top as well, and the drop down is always fun on these. I still don't like Vekoma's lap bars, too bulky and not very generous if you're tall, but the seats are at least comfortable. Good fun ride

Does its job very well. A fun compact shuttle coaster that packs a fair punch. The queue line theming is very nice as well. The main issue is the horrible capacity.

A bit rougher than its successors, but it's okay because this is the prototype of the family boomerangs and still a decent family ride. Theming appears to be only half-baked, because despite having a new name and some themed elements, you can still spot some remenants of the former "Ben 10" theming in the queue line. Additinally, the policy that you have to take off your glasses without a strap during this ride, is quite unnecessary.

This was my first non-kiddie coaster, not a thrill ride but not a kiddie coaster. All I can remember from the experience itself is somehow getting in to the back row (best place for a boomerang first ride) and being terrified out of my mind. The layout, now that I look back on it, was absolutely tiny. I feel like this should have been way longer as it is the only family coaster in the park. The theming is decent though and on the back this coaster is pretty fun.

Comme plusieurs coasters juniors de la même série, amusante montée en arrière puis descente en pente modérée, puis retour en arrière, mais l'ensemble des bosses et creux restent très softs en airtimes. Bien d'autres attractions de ce parc sont des plus intéréssantes, et si j'y suis retourné 5 années durant 3 jours à chaque fois, c'est bien en réalité pour l'une des seules tours de chute Stand-up, position debout, Apocalypse (avec aussi celle de Fraispertuis dans les Vosges), effectuée en non-stop souvent, jusqu'à 20 fois dans la journée !, voire ensuite Maelstrom, le grand balancier.

It's a lot taller than it looks when you're on it, especially in the back seat! Great fun but can't remember too much of it, sadly. It's a pretty short ride and not too intense but it's a family coaster that does its job at being a good step up from small to medium scale rides.

Accelerator is a decent little coaster and a good ride concept, let down by a lack of any force and the loss of the old Ben 10 theming. The trains are good, the ride is completely smooth and it has some pretty decent height to it, but feels a bit bland and forgettable compared to the likes of Thirteen.

A good fun junior/family coaster, smooth and enjoyable. Original Ben 10 theming was well done, generic theming not so good but the ride itself is worth doing.
