When it comes to boomerang coasters this is as good as it gets, and that's all thanks to this ride's excellent restraints. The vests are comfy and secure, and there's nothing to hit your head on. As usual the drops are sharp and the inversions are forceful. Worth a shot even if you don't like Boomerangs.

Since they replaced the trains in 2011, it provided a smoother ride experience. Your head still bangs but it isn't as bad. The one downside to the newer trains is that it doesn't whistle right before going backwards. That was the one thing that made it unique to other Vekoma boomerangs.

Wow. I’d heard that vekoma boomerangs were rough and unbearable. This was my first, and I was pleasantly surprised. Hershey knocked it out of the pack with the vest reatraints. It felt so smooth! No headbanging whatsoever, good forces, and fun! Hershey maintains the hell out of this thing. It’s always running fast! If flies thru the course. And for the record I AM A COASTER ENTHUSIAST. I know a bad ride from a good rideC and I can tell you, this is a really good ride. I haven’t been to too many parks so I really liked my first boomerang. I’m dreading the day that I have to ride one with the otsr tho. Well, I’ll just ride them for the credit and move on. Sidewinder gets a 9/10. Loses a point for being unoriginal but it is a great ride.definitely a solid boomerang. Love the vests

A great ride! I hear it's one of the smoothest boomerangs out there. The only sad thing is that there can only be one train, but it's still soooo much fun!

Worst ride in park restraints hurt and it gave me a headache I actually perfer the old restraints it had less head movement. Was satisfied with park though.

9 year old son loved this! But considering today was his first experience with loops and coasters, he was excited! 12 year old daughter was less than impressed! But she still enjoyed it! A great thing with this ride is the relatively quick lines!

Good! Highly recommend this one. The backwards drop at 116.5 feet was AMAZING and then it flies into some pretty crazy inversions. The drop was also kinda steep. Awesome coaster, if you go to Hersheypark, this is a must-ride.

Well Guys, it's a Vekoma Boomerang. So, a few days ago I took a trip to Hershey Park. It holds a nostalgic place in my mind because I grew up going there. And to tell you from the perspective of a long-time park goer and a coaster enthusiast. It's a great ride, Out of all of the Boomerang's out there being run every day this one definitely has an advantage point, which is the smoother track and the new generation of Boomerang trains which are much more comfortable that the hard metal backs of the others. If you want to try a boomerang coaster, make sure this one is the first on your list!
