I've only been on two normal boomerangs (Sidewinder at Hersheypark and Boomerang at The Great Escape) and one Gaint Inverted Boomerang (Goliath at SFNE which I found to be a great ride).
Coaster Count: 142 total 94 steel 48 wood
Favorite Steel Coaster: Skyrush at Hershey Park
Favorite Wood Coaster: A tie between The Voyage at Holiday World and T Express at Everland
I'm posting from a IPad so I can't enable pics/video

Had a look through everyone's list.
Anyone else on the Coca-Cola Roller at the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988?
My first ever coaster.
Only added two since then - Bat at CW and Boomerang at KBF.

The only one I've been on is Boomerang @ Wild Adventures.
That was this past March. I wasn't all that fond of it; although I did ride twice in a row since there was no line. I was fine going forward, but going backwards through the cobra roll was not a pleasant feeling. Of course this one still has the old restraints too; not that I think it would have been better with the new ones...it is a Vekoma after all...lol. I love going backwards on coasters normally. I loved Viper (when it was at SFOG), Thunder Road and Rebell Yell when they had a backwards train, and even the backwards portions on Expedition Everest and Revenge Of The Mummy (USF).
The next opportunity to ride another one will be when I go to Carowinds next season (hadn't been since '08).

I've been on 13 including the one at Wonderland in Sydney.
Can't say one was better than the others. They all sort of blur together.
