Boomerang is a steel shuttle roller coaster at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia. Built by Vekoma, it opened in 1998, two years after the park opened as a theme park, and is the park's oldest operating coaster.
The train is pulled backward up a steep incline out of the station, released, and falls forward through the station into a cobra roll and then a vertical loop. It is then pulled up a second incline and released to run the same track backward. The track is 935 feet long and reaches 116.5 feet high, with a top speed of 47 mph. The three inversions are each ridden twice, once in each direction, and a ride lasts about 1 minute 48 seconds.
In 2024 the park repainted the ride, replacing its yellow track and green supports with blue track and orange supports. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
