Does Cp need a Boomerang?

I wanna know, place that stuff here!
Not unless it is a racing-boomerang. That way it can have DECENT capacity. I doubt we will ever see a Boomerang/Invertigo at CP because of their POOR POOR POOR capacity. Face/Off at PKI can handle about 800 people per hour.
No. CP doesn't need a Boomerang.

Boomerangs are fun rides, but I agree with the capacity issue. Boomerangs work much better at smaller parks.
Maybe in the future when there is a space issue, but definitely not now.

HA HA HA, MELLENIUM FORCE, YEAH BUDDY!
Maybe something like a launched out custom one from Vekoma, with a good ride, and with a transfer track in the station for two trains.
Get a dual train loading system, like on the Mr. Freeze rides, one train travels the circut while the other is loading on a side track. That would nearly double capacity. I like boomerangs, small footprint but a 6 inversion ride!! Good stuff, Mainard.
No, no, no. I hate boomerang coasters. I always walk off with a head rush or some sort of pain...and I never feel that on any other kind of coaster. Too many loops in a short amount of time. Plus, it just looks like a cheap coaster.
No. Been on SFO's. Ok but nothing that CP would want. Going backwords is the best part.

Valley Fair just got a third generation boomerang. Same thing, only much smoother and no "head rush."

Dispatch Master, This is Transport one! I'm losing control, I'm losing control!
Asking if Cedar Point needs a boomerang is like asking if Bill Gates needs a loan for a new car. I would rather see new flat rides than a boomerang. Why would a world-class park (the number one and only mind you) put in a sub-par ride such as a boomerang.

Remember, line jumping is NOT a sporting event!

What about 4 Superman SFO type rides in a row. and multiply the height and speed?

Boomerangs are fun little rides, in the way that space shots and turbo drops are fun. They're short rides, but offer a fun experience. Would I like to see Cedar Point get one? Only if it's part of a bigger plan.

Now a submarine boomerang would be cool. =)

Maybe sink one alongside Magnum? =)

I would rather see CP get another woodie
My impression from Face Off was FORGET IT!

Welcome back Raptor riders-how was your flight??
Boomerangs seem to me like a cheep thing to 'up' your coaster count. *cough* PKI *cough* ;)

It would be alright if CP put in a Boomerang but I would rather see a thrust air or something a bit more fancy.
[in my best thrillride-type whopper nonsense]
cp will get quad racing bommers themed to enhiritos, but only they will break the 500 ft. mark and use LIMs to propell the train up the second incline. the inclines will also be 90 degress. the cobra roll will go into lake erie. but the best thing, it will be an "inverted standup". shipment of track should come in july.

3 Force rides:
3-2, 5-1, 9-2
I like Boomerangs, but again, Capacity, CAPACITY! They're the worst as far as that. They're not second rate rides or anything.

aIrtIme'S oVeRrAtEd...
Let's put it this way, if CP were to add a boomerang one year, and only a boomerang, there would not be a lot to talk about that winter! We would be talking about what they would add the year after that.

I doubt CP will add one since SFO and PKI have the two versions out there...and that is fine with me.
