Doing the roll backwards on Chiller with the lapbar train is to this day the best inversion I've done <3

Have you not had the pleasure of experiencing Veloci's Maverick roll yet? Just thought I'd ask, seeing as you're from Orlando and it seems to be universally agreed that is one of the best inversions ever.

A little bit of time today meant I decided to have a look through some known under construction Fantawild to see if I could dig up anything on this.

Sorry for the double post. But just to say the latest Vekoma reference list confirms the Super Boomerang is for Fantawild Xuzhou. Which is why the ride has just been added to the rcdb.
Got in there a whole 24 hours early with my educated guess.

I'm surprised they didn't do this sooner given the popularity of the old boomerang, and the family boomerangs. Looks like great fun to me.

This is actually just the first time they are acknowledging it on their Insta account. They previously announced it in a magazine last fall. The first installation is believed to be heading to Fantawild Xuzhou.
