Zydeco Scream

Zydeco Scream first started at the former Parc de Montjuic in Barcelona, Spain as Boomerang from 1990 to 1998, with white tracks and green supports. The roller coaster was relocated to Jazzland as Zydeco Scream in 2000 (Jazzland also opened that same year). A couple years after Six Flags took over the park, Hurricane Katrina hit the park on August 29, 2005, and the park was severely flooded from the Hurricane.

In 2007, Six Flags began to remove rides out of the park. Batman: The Ride was removed in 2007 and taken to Six Flags Fiesta Texas where it was refurbished and reopened as Chupacabra in 2008. Bayou Blaster and Sonic Slam were removed in 2008 and relocated to Great Escape in Queensbury, New York, where it was refurbished and reopened as Sasquatch in 2009. The Road Runner Express was removed in 2009 and relocated to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, where it was refurbished and reopened in 2011 under the same name. The coaster remained standing but not operating (SBNO) until it was demolished in 2024.^[1]

The train was dispatched from the station, beginning a slow reverse climb up the lift tower via a cable winch system. When the train reached the top, it was released from the lift and descended the drop, traveling through the station, and entering a cobra roll followed by a vertical loop. After the loop, the train traveled back up the lift tower and connected with a chain lift. Once at the peak again, the lift chain detached, allowing the train to drop and travel the same course in reverse, resulting in 6 total inversions through 3 elements. As the train re-entered the station in reverse, it was slowed by the station brakes, slightly traveled back up the initial lift hill, and traveled back into the station to park. The layout and ride experience is the standard Vekoma Boomerang roller coaster design found at forty-three different amusement parks worldwide.
