Zoomerang, Steel roller coaster at Lake Compounce, Connecticut.
Description
Zoomerang is a steel roller coaster in Connecticut designed with two parallel tracks and painted in the park's signature purple with teal supports. The ride features two inversions and follows a short route that takes roughly one and a half minutes per direction.
History
The ride opened in 1997 as the first of its model type to use specially designed trains rather than traditional equipment from earlier versions. This innovation made it a milestone in roller coaster engineering of that era.
Culture
The ride is located at a park that has welcomed visitors for over 160 years and holds special meaning for families returning year after year. Its presence at this historic venue makes it a recognizable destination for thrill-seekers across the region.
Practical
Riders must be at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall to board. Since this is a short ride, wait times tend to be manageable even during busy park days.
Did you know?
The ride travels its entire course twice, once forward and once backward. This gives passengers an uncommon experience, as they see the track layout from two completely different viewpoints.
