Question Boomerangs...
Hey, everyone. What's your favorite boomerang/shuttle coaster that's out there? My personal favorite is Deja Vu@SFMM.

Face/Off at PKI. I liked this more than Deja Valley.

Batman side of Chiller easy. Mr. Freeze looks tight though.
Could throw in WT as well.

And just because they have LIMs don't mean they aren't shuttles.

I love Superman: Ultimate Escape, the themeing is really cool.

If I can't have that than just a regular boomerang.

What theming? Other than that giant Superman logo in front of the ride, there is nothing you can call theming on that ride.

My favorite shuttle would have to be either Wicked Twister or Magic Mountain's Déjà Vu. Both were spectacular.

Wow! I completely forgot about WT. That is my vote. The back spike on that thing is just insane.

I've only been on one Boomerang, but I wouldn't call it a favorite anything, not even favorite Boomerang! I have been on many shuttle coasters, and my favorite is by far Chiller.

I enjoyed Old V2 at SFMW. It was pretty cool, the spiral is awesome. But I thought it was a little on the short side.

I love every Anton shuttle coaster! Well, that means I love Turbine, the only one I've been on so far. I like boomerangs as well, but there just not as intense as a good old Schwarzkopf.

Deja Vu, no contest. I don't think WT will even compare.

If LIM coasters count as boomerangs, then Speed: the Ride in Vegas is definitely #1. I ride it every time I go. It's a top ten in my list of overall favorite coasters.

Either Face/Off @ PKI or Deja Vu @ SFOG would be my favorite.
