Boomerang, Steel roller coaster in Kansas City, Missouri.
Boomerang is a steel roller coaster with a red track and yellow support structure in Kansas City. It features six inversions and reaches speeds around 47 miles per hour (76 kilometers per hour) during each full ride cycle.
The ride opened on April 8, 2000 and replaced an earlier attraction called Zambezi Zinger. It reused the existing queue line from the previous ride.
The coaster sits in the Africa section of the park and shows how theme areas shape the rides placed within them. You can see how the design fits into the overall feel of that part of the park as you move through.
The train holds 28 riders across seven cars and has a minimum height requirement of 48 inches (about 1.2 meters) for passengers. Check if you meet the height requirement before boarding.
What makes this coaster special is that riders experience the entire course twice: first going forward through three inversions, then backward along the same track in reverse. This unusual design means each ride feels different depending on which direction you travel.
