Boomerang (Worlds of Fun) - The Ride

The Ride

Riders are towed up a 116 foot (33.5m), 45° incline and dropped. The train reaches a maximum speed of 47 mph (75.6 km/h), while traveling through the station and into a cobra roll element, inverting the riders twice and turning in the direction of the initial incline. It then travels through a vertical loop and up a section of track that is nearly parallel to the first incline. Finally, the train repeats the trip, backwards, to complete the ride.

Famous quotes containing the word ride:

    Now let us sing, Long live the king,
    And Gilpin long live he;
    And when he next doth ride abroad,
    May I be there to see!
    William Cowper (1731–1800)

    “But such as you and I do not seem old
    Like men who live by habit. Every day
    I ride with falcon to the river’s edge
    Or carry the ringed mail upon my back,
    Or court a woman; neither enemy,
    Game-bird, nor woman does the same thing twice....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
