So the ride itself is really fun, basically every Vekoma Boomerang you’ve been on but the carts are suspended, it’s taller and has vertical drops, it’s faster, more comfortable, and better all around. So why am I giving it 3 stars, one it’s broken down much more often then it’s actually running so you’re lucky if you go to the park and even see it doing test runs. 2, it’s like 100 feet away from probably one of the worst Vekoma Boomerangs out there, which takes away from how new and unique the riding experience should be for people who decide to ride the boomerang first. It’s still really fun if you get a chance to ride it, and the reason I put location as a pro is because it’s right in the middle of a lot of rides and stands out with a really good color scheme, and the view is really good when you’re going up the drop towers. So I would rate it a lot higher if they remove the horrible boomerang that to most people this just looks like a bigger version of. And if it was running even 50% more of the time it would be a really good ride to casually go on when you’re passing, but as it is right now it’s just sad for first or second time visitors to see what looks like a really cool ride and have to basically win the lottery luck wise for it to be open.

The layout is amazing, it’s so insanely high and fast for a wooden coaster, you get to the top and you’re like wait a second I’m halfway up kingda ka on a wooden coaster with a lap bar. And the drop is insane, leading into an amazing layout with tons of airtimes. The speed is consistent so it’s intense the whole ride, and the reason I’m giving 4.5 and not 5 is because I will say when I went on it was actually painful, if you’ve been on any old coaster you know how rough they can be, now put that 180 feet off the ground and 70mph, it definitely beats you up a bit. But I still have to give it 4.5 because it’s a legendary wooden coaster with an insane layout, so the only bad thing is how its depreciated since it opened, but even though it’s rough it’s still a must ride over a lot of rides in the park.

I just rode this again since the park reopened and thought I’d make an updated review, you would think it would get worse after sitting a while but I think it got better from them inspecting and perfecting it mechanically before they opened it. And thats when it was already an amazing ride with nothing to complain about, the smoothness of this ride is insane especially considering they rebuilt this on such an old base coaster. And the airtimes are still dumbfounding even when you’ve already been on it because there’s so many that you aren’t even expecting some even though you can see the track ahead of you, I believe there’s 14 airtimes. The restraints are some of the best I’ve seen for a roller coaster with or without inversions, they leave room for airtime but also you’re not being slammed side to side. The layout is phenomenal it’s much different riding it in person compared to watching a POV so you have to experience it for yourself. Overall an amazing coaster.

Giving 3 stars because it had a major improvement on the restraints since it was Mind Eraser, now there’s far less head banging making it ridable, it’s really efficient so the line is usually short and it rarely breaks down. The new color scheme is nice and stands out compared to some of the duller rides, and considering the other rides in the park it’s actually pretty good with 5 inversions including a double corkscrew which is unique from any of the other rides here. Of course there’s a lot of other SLCs and this is probably not near the best one out there, but for what the park has it’s a decent ride with a good amount of inversions so if there’s a short line its worth riding
