24 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That is the Lagoon Roll. Every time I hear that name, I think of sushi. I now want Lagoon to serve the "Lagoon Roll" sushi in one of their restaurants. Ugh, and now I just want sushi in general. "Lagoon Roll" sounds very tasty! How does the lagoon roll ride? It looks like it has a lot of potential to be awkward. If possible rate using sushi terminology. Great footage, thanks! I had the exact same thought about the sushi before I rode it! All I can say is the element is one of those "Thank you restraint for saving my life!" moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCard Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Was there a reason for so much side to side wobbling in the POV? I didn't know if the car rocked side to side that much of if that was just how the camera was rigged. We had to use a chest mount, so it wasn't the smoothest video we were able to shoot, but regardless, I don't think it rocked "so much" either. I think we are just spoiling people with our normally rock-solid mounting to trains! Agreed, I guess we're all used to your train mounted vids. The only reason I asked was because much of the design was done in-house and you always wonder about how well rides, especially coasters, will track in that situation. Obviously Dal Freeman has experience designing coasters, but I was just wondering how well the ride experience turned out in this case. It appears to be done properly, and Freeman as well as Lagoon are to be commended for what looks like a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dal Freeman and Dustin Allen are Engineers as well, so Lagoon did the exact same thing MACK and Disney does, as well as any Ride Manufacturer. Also, with ART Engineering GmbH cleaning things up and Dal Designing and Engineering Wicked and BomBora, with Dustin Allen, there was nothing to worry about in that respect. I LOVE, that Cannibal, and BomBora, can never be Duplicated and Copied by another Park as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtahCoasterRider Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Cannibal is a great ride. I was able to thank Dal Freeman the other night after getting my 2nd ride in. He was showing his family the ride controls. Shook his hand and talked a little with him. He was very humble about his achievement. He said it would be his last ride. What a way to go out on top!

gerstlaueringvar Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Awesome video! I can feel the forcefulness from the screen! Looks like the car slows down quite a lot at the MCBR, is it very noticeable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 *starts searching for cheap flights to SLC* Looks like a great ride! Joey, wait till October. I will join you on one of my LA trips. Perhaps we can kidnap the diabetic and get him to go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the car slows down quite a lot at the MCBR, is it very noticeable? It's not a very abrupt slowdown - but it is noticeable. Not like SFMM's Goliath. But as someone else, you don't want to go through the Lagoon roll too fast. The speed going through the Roll is perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Wow...this coaster looks so unique & fun! Utah/Lagoon is definitely on our radar in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Does Cannibal have a single rider line? I've seen no mention of one other than a passing comment from the park on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 It does! I used it when I was there last week. Unfortunately, it was filled with groups of teenagers rather than single riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Single Rider, you are just there to fill a seat, so the Single Rider Line may not save that much time. I'm sure those kids were quite happy about being split up.

KBrylczyk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Awesome! Thanks for the news! The single rider line on Wicked saved a ton of time for us last year. I've gotta drive 6 hours up to SLC to get to the park tomorrow. I was worried about getting there for opening to get on before a long line hits but now I'm in no rush. Thanks again!

redfoot12 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'm planning on visiting the park for my first time next week. Any thoughts or tips? I will be going solo so if any locals want to meet up let me know in this thread or PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 ^ Just go and have a hell of a time. Lagoon is fantastic and there shouldn't be crowds when you visit. I'm not sure when school goes back in that area, so don't quote me on that, haha. When I visited at the end of July the only line was for Cannibal and it was a 30-45 minutes all day. Everything else was a walk on, flats and coasters included. Make sure you do everything, and I mean everything. Well, aside from the super small kiddy rides, haha. There's really not a bad ride at the park unless you consider the cookie-cutter Wild Mouse a bad ride. Aside from the rides also check out all the smaller corners of the park like Pioneer Village, as well. Also make note that the log flume and rapids ride are tucked away and hidden in the back corner of the park. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfoot12 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well, I did my first visit to Lagoon this past weekend and I really enjoyed it. It was very crowded and after driving for 6 hours on 5 hours sleep I was exhausted. I left for my hotel at around 3pm and meant to return at around 6pm. Didn't quite work out as I overslept I returned to the park at 8 and got two night rides on Cannibal, two on Wicked, and a single ride in on Roller Coaster I intend to return to the park next year with some friends and hope to do all the stuff I missed as this trip was coaster-heavy. That said, I did all of the coasters except for Jet Star, which didn't allow for single riders. Cannibal was excellent and Lagoon should be proud to have such a unique attraction. I really enjoyed Wicked as well and was also surprised by Roller Coaster. I wasn't expecting much from this wooden and I rank it up there with Cornball Express and Yankee Cannonball for smaller woodies that pack quite the punch. Fun times and I can't wait to return next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'll be there in October. Very much looking forward to riding their coaster collection and enjoying their Halloween event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
