Carolina Cobra - Carowinds (Sometime in 2009, in July)
Boomerang - Painful Adventures (Sometime in 2011, again I think July)

JEEZ, Wild Adventures was terrible coaster-wise. The only smooth one was Cheetah, and even then it was kinda violent. But Carolina Cobra was actually pretty fantastic.

Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Darien Lake
Boomerang - Elitch Gardens
Flashback - Six Flags New England
Flash Back - Six Flags Over Texas
Sidewinder - Hersheypark
Boomerang - Worlds of Fun
Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Zoomerang - Lake Compounce
Boomerang Coast to Coaster - Great Escape
Deja 'Vu - Six Flags Great America (if it counts)

That's a whopping 9 too many boomerangs that I've been on. If you count GIB's, then that is 10. And off the top of my head, the one that was somewhat -remotely- re-ride able was Zoomerang at Lake Compounce.

Not so many as they're not that common in my area...

Knotts Berry Farm - Boomerang - my first with classic Arrow train, with some "nice" headbangs in the Cobra-Roll
Sommerland Syd - Tornado - Inverted Boomerang, this was really fun, surprised that this had no headbanging at all
Walibi Holland - Speed Of Sound - with great brand-new Vekoma trains and rubberbelt-like OTSRs this coaster is top fun

In September at Vienna Prater I'll likely add the Boomerang which sports new trains with lapbars only - quite looking forward to it!

Just Sidewinder at Hershey, but one is enough for me.

I think Intamin should make a donkey!

I actually enjoy Boomerangs quite a bit. Although I wouldn't stand in a huge line for any of them.

Boomerang - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Carolina Cobra - Carowinds
Boomerang - Worlds of Fun

Carolina Cobra's my favorite because of the trains, but none of these 3 I thought were that rough.

Just...
-Flashback at Six Flags New England -- Somehow it managed to be rough just going up the lift. It was terrible.
-Goliath at Six Flags New England which was awesome. Very smooth and very forceful.

I rode one: Boomerang (SFDK) and it is currently the only coaster I hate, but in January, I'm riding Boomerang (KBF) which I'm preparing to be horrible.
