How fun.
 
Ah yes, the bragging topic that nobody likes to brag about. Only 1 new addition since the last update... but it was a goodie. No, really! It was Stunt Fall, and it was awesomely terrifying and it completes the set of all different variations of the Vekoma boomerang.
Erm.. yay me? 🤔

Out of my total 65 coasters, I've presently done 1 SLC and one Family Boomerang, so my list presently stands at this:
SLC
  1. Infusion (Blackpool Pleasure Beach)
Family Boomerang
  1. Accelerator (Drayton Manor)
Not sure whether to feel proud or ashamed that I'm yet to ride a standard Boomerang...

2.5 years and 14 coasters after my last post in here, I can update this slightly... my SLC count still sits at 1, but I now have 2 Family Boomerangs under my belt, as well as 1 SFC that I've newly added:

New entries are in bold, and for the Family Boomerangs where I have 2, I've ranked them in order of preference, with the date I first rode them at the side in brackets.
SLC (1)
  1. Infusion - Blackpool Pleasure Beach (ridden August 2018)
Family Boomerang (2)
  1. Velociraptor - Paultons Park (ridden July 2021)
  2. Accelerator - Drayton Manor (ridden August 2018)
SFC (1)
  1. Flight of the Pterosaur - Paultons Park (395m, ridden July 2021)

Ranking these overall in terms of personal preference, it would go:
  1. Pterosaur
  2. Velociraptor
  3. Accelerator
  4. Infusion
Also @Howie, would the STCs count for this thread? Not that I've ridden one, I was just curious!
 
^Ha, I love how you've ranked Infusion last - exactly where it belongs by the way, I think most people would agree with you on that - I just find it funny that the 'big thrill' coaster with 5 inversions gets beaten out by the tame, family friendly boomerangs every time.
SLC's really aren't very good at all, are they?

As controversial as this might be, it wasn't even close for me; Infusion still sits as my all-time least favourite coaster out of the 79 I've currently done, even after not having ridden it in 3.5 years.

The family boomerangs, on the other hand; while not my favourites, I do think they can be rather fun rides (Velociraptor narrowly slides into my top 30, at #30, while Accelerator is a bit lower at #38).

Pterosaur was a coaster that really surprised me, and one that I very much enjoyed (it currently sits narrowly outside my top 20 alongside Storm Chaser in the same park. SC sits narrowly higher at #21, while Pterosaur is #22, but I thought both were really excellent family coasters!)!
