The Roller Coaster is such a gem for Utah and Lagoon. It's by far my favorite coaster in the park. Lagoon has such a vast history and love where they are taking things concerning the upgrades and ride development. I want to add that when the greenery is grown in during the summer on Rattle Snake Rapids, I think that it is truly one of the best rapids rides out there concerning pacing, rapids and hidden gadgets/waterfalls.
Also, going off the ride tangent I will say that coasters in the rain are pure bliss (unless the thing is a speed demon then it just hurts). I was fortunate to ride The Beast and The Voyage dry and wet. I'd take wet any day!
Great TR, BTW. Thanks for sharing your experience and the photos!
