Zoomerang is a Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster that operates at Alabama Adventure in Bessemer, Alabama. It originally opened in 1988 as Titan at World Expo Park in Brisbane, Australia. It closed after only one season before opening as Demon in 1992 at Wonderland Sydney in Sydney. It operated until the park closed in April 2004, where it then made the trip to its current home.
[edit] Ride
The ride starts with the train being pulled backwards up the first lift via cable. At the top it is released where it then passes through the station at 48 mph. It goes through three inversions then goes up a second chain lift. The train is released and travels the course in reverse.
[edit] Train
The train was built by Arrow Dynamics and features 7 cars, seating 4 per car (28 total). It is red, and in 2006 airbrushed flames were added to the sides as well as a new airbrushed logo on the front of the train.
