Invertigo • Kings Island

Inversions Nice surprise! Intensity

This is a shockingly intense and surprisingly smooth coaster, I do prefer standard boomerangs but this ride is pretty good.

Intensity

This ride is shockingly intense. It arguably has the highest positive G's of any ride at King's Island. Ride it in the "back row" and you'll be shook.

Intensity

Not a huge fan of these boomerangs. Also not a huge fan of rides where you face strangers.

The only coaster to ever make me nauseous.

Nice surprise! Capacity Harness

Capacity on this ride is poor, and it's not super comfortable, but it holds up much better than other Vekomas. Relatively smooth, though maybe not perfectly smooth, and it's fun to be able to face either direction. This ride gets buried in Kings Island's elite lineup, but it's worth doing once.

Headbanging Harness Discomfort

A inverted boomerang with really uncomfortable seats which hurts this rather simple coaster

Intensity Too short Layout

Wow this thing is intense. Invertigo has some of the strongest positives I’ve ever felt, it makes normal boomerangs feel like kiddie coasters. It’s also relatively smooth and comfortable as well which surprised me. However I can’t rank this ride any higher because it is very short and has a bland layout but what it does is insane.

Harness

Amusing wait in the queue with the 'rain' of mobile phones dropping from riders. Which is just as well as this is low capacity and slow loading. Ride itself is a miserable affair apart from the drop off the lift. Restraints more or less jam your head in place and impact is inevitable.

Great ride, intense and underrated. Smooth too

This ride I am very mixed on. On one side it is quite intense and it feels similar to the standard boomerangs which I do really enjoy. However, I found this thing to be otherworldly rough. This ride is far rougher than most normal SLCs and the headbanging I got was brutal. This ride is somewhat enjoyable but I wouldn’t ride it more than once especially since just one ride made my ears very red

I like inverted coasters. I like loops. I like cobra rolls. I love launched coasters. I like compact coasters. I love going backwards. While Invertigo technically isn't launched, I kind of think of it on those terms. So if you add all of the things up you get a pretty likeable coaster on paper. Luckily this delivers the goods. It isn't liquid smooth, but nothing at all painful. Going backwards through the inversions really makes this ride for me. It just makes me laugh. The biggest drawback to this type of coaster is the very low capacity which leads to extremely slow moving lines. Overall, a very good coaster.

Intensity Smoothness Headbanging Capacity

This is a mega intense ride that pulls up to 6 G’s and you feel every bit of it. The ride is smoother than expected but the capacity is terrible and there is a little bit of headbanging. I would recommend this coaster for the intensity though because this is easily the most intense coaster at KI.

This is actually on of my favorite boomerang out there because of how unique it is. Yes it has some head banger moments but overall the fun of the ride makes up for that. Its also pretty intense for a boomerang which is surprising so that's why I say if you have some time and your going towards that part of the park do it.

Intensity Headbanging Discomfort

As much as I love riding the Invertigo, there are definitely good days for this ride and extremely bad ones. I am indefinitely a small person both in stature and weight, this can also mean I’m pretty fragile. When first descending; like on most rides, I kept my head against the headrest. Only soon I figured out that wasn’t going to work because I was being thrown around within the restraints. Because of the intense jolting I leaned my head forward off of the headrest slightly so that I wasn’t being thrown around, this resulted in my neck whipping forward and down toward my chest. At first I though I had broke my neck or unaligned something, it may just be a pulled muscle but it was once painful and uncomfortable. Invertigo was hands down one of my favorite rides but now I am too disappointed to ride it again as well as in fear that next ride will not be as forgiving. I am glad I came off with only a minor injury.

Inversions Fun Pointless

It's a decently fun ride, but it's lacking in originality. I found it to be pretty smooth, but if you've ridden any other boomerang, you know what you're getting yourself into. Also, you may end up sitting face to face with a stranger with the way the seats are arranged.

Invertigo is definitely the best version of the Boomerang, but even when it's smooth and forceful it's nothing to write home about.
