Boomerang is a steel shuttle roller coaster at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. The park describes it as a steel coaster with vertical loops, twists and turns, and says its lift hills reach 125 feet, making it the tallest roller coaster in the park.
The ride opened on April 30, 1999. It is a Vekoma Boomerang: a catch car pulls the train backward up the first lift, it is released through a cobra roll and a loop, climbs a second lift, and runs the course again in reverse.
RCDB gives a length of 935 feet, a top speed of 47 mph, three inversions and a ride time of 1 minute 48 seconds. The single train has seven cars and carries 28 riders.
