'Boomerang' Corkscrew coaster

I was on holiday in grimsby, england once and there was a theme park named 'Pleasure island'(sounds rude but it isn't Shocked

) and there was this coaster(boomerang) which I loved there, this is how it went, first you went backward on a chain lift thingy, when it gets to the top it lets go and the car goes, goes quite fast through the station through 2 corkscrews and a loop, then another cain lift pulls the car to the top of a paralel hill as the start then it lets go by this time your facing backwards, it goes through the loop and the 2 corkscrews again and finishes at the station

There's one in Canada I've been on. It's called "The Bat" at Canada's Wonderland.

I believe they're both designed by Vekoma.

You're right, they are both Vekoma coasters. The Vekoma boomerang is a neat coaster, packing three inversions into a small space, but I've heard they are quite painful.

Yes, lots of headbanging, perhaps submarining if you are doing the "airtime" tricks.

I do believe Six Flags had 'Giant Boomerangs' at their parks around the world, but have been slowly removing them due to their poor mechanical record. I do believe there is still one in Madrid though.

There's one in Canada's Wonderland called "The Bat". It's pretty rough I heard, like your typical old Vekoma coaster. Never rode it before, heard it could be quite painfl.
