Recoil is a steel shuttle roller coaster located at Wonderla in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
History
Following the closure of Wonderland Sydney on 26 April 2004, the roller coaster was dismantled and shipped to VisionLand (since renamed Alabama Adventure).[1] It was painted on arrival, prior to assembly at VisionLand.[2] Following a "Name the Roller Coaster" contest the ride was named "Zoomerang",[3] and it opened on 8 May 2005. In February 2012, Zoomerang was put up for sale.[4] Alabama Adventure had recently been sold to new owners who only opened the water park portion of the property from 2012.[5]

Red track and yellow supports. The coaster originally opened with white track and green supports, changing to black track and supports at Wonderland, and yellow track and green supports at Alabama Adventure before settling on its current scheme at Wonderla.
Train
Single train with 7 cars. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 28 riders per train. The original train was manufactured by Arrow Dynamics and had over-the-shoulder harnesses. This was replaced with a new train from Sunkid Heege GmbH in 2018, which has individual lap bars.
