. It opened in the 2000 season, replacing the vacancy left by the Zambezi Zinger's departure in 1997. Boomerang is a "cookie-cutter" or "clone" ride, meaning it is not unique to "Worlds of Fun" and is manufactured by Vekoma for several other parks. Since Worlds of Fun has no Australia/Oceania section, the Boomerang was fitted into the Africa section, unlike the other Australian themed ride, Bounce-A-Roos, which is found in Europa.

The Ride

Riders are towed up a 116 foot (33.5m), 45° incline and dropped. The train reaches a maximum speed of 47mph (75.6km/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.

Elements

*Cobra Roll (Boomerang)
*Loop

Train
