Head Spin Review

For this review, we've traveled back in time to my visit to Geauga Lake. Anyways, this is just a review of the park's basic Boomerang. After climbing in the seat and pulling down the shoulder harness, you dispatch. Up the lift you go backwards. It was dark when I rode, so I have no idea what type of view you got from the ride. And then, you drop. The drop is really fun and you get some nice speed. However, once you pull up into the sky as you enter the cobra roll, That's where the pain begins. After you slam into the restraint coming out of the 1st half of the Cobra Roll, you get slammed going into the 2nd half of the cobra roll. Then you go into a loop. The loop is not fun as there is alot of headbanging and shakeyness. Then you climb up the second spike, as we climb up the second spike, you get a chance to recover, but then, you drop. Backwards you go. The loop isn't quite as bad backwards. And then you go backwards into the cobra roll. It really confuses you as it slams you backwards. And finally, after all the slamming is over, You glide into the station. While this Boomerang isn't terribly rough or disgusting, it is definetly not one of the top Boomerangs I've been on. However, that'll probably change when I reride it in it's new home at Carowinds. They've got new trains from Vekoma, so that probably made Head Spin (Or Carolina Cobra as they call it at Carowinds) one of the best boomerangs on the planet!
