I especially like this coaster because you face other people as youre riding it. I like going backwards the best and its not jerky like most inverted boomerangs. The loading is a little bit slower then usual but there usually isnt a long line for it in the beginning of the season and at the end of the season. Avoid the park in July and August it seems like its the most crowded then.

This was very smooth. It hardly ever jerked me. I like to see the everyones expressions while riding.

I didnt wait long and Im glad i didnt, but its a very enjoyable ride. I very much enjoyed the paint scheme. It drew me towards it and caught more then a few glances upwards upon entering the park. Kings Island is set back from the rode. Only four things can be seen from the street: Son of Beast, Drop Zone, the Eiffel Tower, and Face/Off. Movie aside, this is one cool name, as well. I didnt get the chance to actually face off, because my friend and I sat in the front row (Closest to the cobra roll) and, therefore, felt as though the train would keep going right past the lift and fall off the second tower. As can be expected, the loop was a bit jerky and hurt my friend because she didnt put her head back, but it wasnt half as bad as some sitting boomerangs Ive experienced. Its fun and definately worth a ride if you sit in the front or back seat and the wait is less then 1/2 and hour.

I like rides that suprise you.. this one did. I actauly thought is was going to be a not so fun ride. But when I was done it was my surprise for the day. I normally like rides that go back through the station. However, rides like this take forever to get on... which is definately true. Was a little jerky, but most backward rides feel that way to me. The fact that you "face-off" is actaully pretty cool. I enjoyed this ride.

Got banged around a lot on this ride and my upper body was jerked forwards while going backwards over the loop. I was expecting an inverted boomerang to be a completely different experience, but it really wasnt anything special. Was definately not worth the 45 minute wait.

Wow, an inverted boomerang. So totally radical. *cough* Okay, this ride banged me around a bit [though not as much as PKI woodies], and really wasnt worth the 45 minute wait for it. The feeling of being on a boomerang - INVERTED really wasnt that different from anything else. Didnt enjoy this one much at all.

i love this coaster!! sure, vekoma has surely been filling in the void for arrow when it comes to roughness, but i love this coaster! it is the first of its kind i have ridden and i love facing my friends on this. i always laugh so hard everytime i get off this ride and its just so smooth. of course ive been in some pretty hefty lines b4, but that didnt stop me, this ride is worth it! short but sweet as it was meant to be.

Times ridden: 1 ~ Ride experience: 8 ~ Layout: 7 ~ Thrill factor: 10 ~ Landscaping: 6 ~ Evaluation: Climbing the lift, I was terrified. Other than Dragster, this is the only ride that truly scared the you-know-what out of me. The ride is exactly like the normal Vekoma boomerang, only inverted, and seats face both ways, hence the name. Theres six inversions total, three forwards and three backwards, all of which are taken very fast. Although the ride is over before you know it, its one experience that will stick with you for a while.

This was nothing like I expected it to be. I thought it would be a bumpy and painful ride because of what I heard about Vekoma coasters. I was wrong, this is a really cool coaster, and going through the inversions backwards is a really cool feeling.

I actually got on the ride right after it broke down, so I only waited about five minutes, although I could understand how lines could get long because of the low capacity. I was looking at the lady across from me and she was closing her eyes on the drop. It was awesome to see the emotions of the people near you and going backwards then forwards was awesome. Also very smooth.
