Boomerang Coast-to-Coaster is a steel shuttle roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, near the park's Temple of the Tiger. It is a standard Vekoma Boomerang designed by Peter Clerx and opened on March 27, 1998, among the first amusement rides at the former Marine World.
A catch car pulls the train backward up the first lift, about 12 stories. It is released forward through a cobra roll and a vertical loop, climbs a second lift, and then runs the course again in reverse. RCDB lists a 935-foot track, a height of 117 feet, a top speed of 47 mph, three inversions and a ride time of 1 minute 48 seconds.
One train of seven cars carries 28 riders. The minimum height is 48 inches.
