Wish I would have sometime bet you $10 that you didnt know what SLC stands for, cuz i wouldve won, it's SUSPENDED looping coaster, but i'm sure you knew that.
Well I've been on the same coasters you listed, hmm, wonder why, but if the question is have I suffered more from boomerangs or from SLC's? The 5 SLC's have been a much more painful experience. I'll take Zoomerang at LC any day over a hang and bang.

I went on Top Gun at PCW, and that was much more uncomfortable than any boomerang I've been on. I'll take a boomerang over an SLC any day.

I've only done one SLC (SFWoA's Serial Thriller). I've ridden more Boomerangs, though most were all different generations. Knott's Boomerang, SFWoA's The Mind Eraser, SFMM's Déjà Vu, PGA's Invertigo. I love Boomerangs.

i've been on one boomerang(sidewinder), one slc(serial thriller), and one giant inverted boomerang. the best is easily deja vu but the other two i didnt think were that rough.

I'm pretty sure it's a tie for me, 2 and 2, but I've always found SLCs to be more painful, for whatever reason. They're nicely compact, though, and I think quite attractive. Ah, well, a coaster is a coaster!

About the same amount. The SLC's are far rougher than the Boomerangs. I actually LIKE boomerang. Yes I know, I'm a weird d00d.

Don't forget Six Flags Worlds of Adventure and Six Flags Marine World. They're also apart of the Vekoma Two-Pack clan!

I've only ridden one of each, and didnt find either one rough...

However, I got sick on the boomerang coaster...

so I didnt like it.
