thrillseeker4552 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Lagoon has updated their mask requirements for guests. In addition to requiring a mask to enter the park, guests now must wear masks in all queue lines. After seeing some photos of the queue lines on social media, I think this is a necessary change. Props to the park for tightening restrictions as necessary, despite the criticism from the anti-mask Karens. http://www.lagoonpark.com/guest-policies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughmudder Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Quick question for the Lagoon experts out there... We are headed there today, but I am arriving later than my family. My wife will use our season parking pass. Is there a good place I could park my car for free and walk into the park? I don't mind walking a bit, as my wife could drive me to my car at the end of the day. I thought of the Lagoon Trailhead and also Station Park. Any other ideas...?You can take the Free Farmington Trolly from the UTA Frontrunner Farmington Station Park and Ride Lot. Sent from my moto z3 using Tapatalk Thank you!

It's still not required to wear masks anywhere else. I mean, it's a step in the right direction, but not enough to make me visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyUD06 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 We get it, you think masks are necessary and won't go to a theme park without one. We don't need two posts to that effect within 2 pages of eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My sister and I visited Lagoon on Friday for the first time during the pandemic. It was our first theme park visit since Knott's on March 7th, so we were eager to get on coasters. I thought I would write a mini-report (no photos) about our experience with their policies and operations, since they have been open for over two months now. Generally speaking, I felt safe. The park was not crowded at all, so maintaining physical distancing was not difficult. It was 100 degrees on Friday (probably the hottest day I have ever had at Lagoon), but I didn't have any issues with wearing my mask. I kept it on all day, except when eating/drinking, however the park only requires masks to enter the park and while in queue lines. Most people took them off on the rides and while walking the midways. We kept ours on for all the coasters and didn't encounter any issues with them falling off or slipping. I think we were so excited to ride some coasters again, we kind of forgot about the heat and the masks on our faces. But I am 21 and my sister is 14, both healthy and able, so I can definitely see how a crazy hot day with a mask can affect other people with different abilities. Luckily the park has plenty of shade and places to sit and take off your mask. I wish it was always this empty! It was actually very nice. Now onto the rides. I know when the park first reopened back in May, they were spacing out rows on coasters. This is no longer the case. It seems they are simply putting one party per row. For the coasters that sit 2-across, this means most seats were filled. For Wicked and Cannibal, this means one party per row. So my sister and I had the row to ourselves on the 4-across coasters. Aside from Roller Coaster and Colossus running one train (they usually have 2), operations felt like a pretty normal day at the park - just no single rider lines and more empty seats than normal on the coasters (especially Wicked and Cannibal). Oh, and Jet Star II is closed, and probably will be for the entire season is my guess. Overall a great day at the park. I was excited to break my almost 5-month coaster hiatus. Hopefully parks in California can reopen soon with new policies and procedures. I felt way more safe outdoors in an almost-empty theme park, in the heat, riding coasters with the breeze blowing than I do crammed in a Wal-Mart or restaurant.

thrillseeker4552 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Here is a photo of Lagoon's new ride that I took during my visit (July 31). I forgot I had taken it when it wrote up this^ mini report. This was taken from the park's ferris wheel. They allow bags and phones on that attraction. It looks like there are foundations and supports outside the "mountain," so this coaster will definitely be partly outdoors as well. I just thought I'd share.

Mr Stratosphere Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Has anyone been out to Lagoon recently? I am thinking of going with a couple of friends this weekend to check out Frightmares since it's really the only haunt actually running. Just wondering how crowds are and what the overall experience has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how crowds are and what the overall experience has been. I just visited yesterday (10/11). The crowds were very manageable. I didn't wait more than 5 minutes for anything, although it did get more crowded in the evening with Frightmares. However, my friend went the day before me on Saturday and said it was the busiest day he has ever been at the park. I think part of that is that Saturday had better weather. And because it's Saturday. I would recommend going Sunday for lighter crowds for sure. EDIT: Also thought I would add some photos of the new mystery coaster construction. We now have a lift hill and some green track installation to keep an eye on! Edited October 12, 2020 by thrillseeker4552 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I thought this was going to be a wood coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Nope. Just a steel coaster going in and out of a giant mountain. That's about all we know! It appears to be similar to Wonder Mountain Guardian at CW, but much less dark ride and lots more coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall when I was last there in Cannibal's debut season the area surrounding Cannibal was especially screwy because they designated a few one-way areas to deal with the line. Looking at Google Maps, though, there's a very easy connection to the main park between the S&S tower, pavilions, and raft slides. https://goo.gl/maps/X6t7JAta68QFHkxaA The location marker is the plot where the new coaster is being built.

thrillseeker4552 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 And keep in mind that the raft slides showing up on Google Maps have been removed. It is currently now a grass plot, as seen in my second photo. They have plenty of space to connect the ride to the main park, but it definitely is off the beaten path.

Mr Stratosphere Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 We decided to take a quick drive (6 hours) from Vegas up to Lagoon, just north of Salt Lake City this past weekend. We had to get a haunt in this year. Even though the park was busy and mask rules are only enforced in queue and in mazes, I never felt uncomfortable as people pretty much kept their distance. Overall we had a really enjoyable visit to Lagoon. This park is very well ran, operations are smooth and queues keep moving constantly. They were loading all rows on all rides, hand sanitizer before and after each ride and before and after all haunted mazes. We have arrived for Frightmares! Happy to experience a theme park haunt this weird year! Employees carrying “Please Social Distance” signs were all over the park and enforcing mask wearing and distancing in the queues I like the skyline of this park! Roller Coaster celebrates 99 years this year! New hotness being built on the northeast corner of the park! I forgot how good Cannibal is! Super fun and smooth! I don’t normally like Ferris wheels, but this one is fun, you can spin your gondola like a tea cup! Cannibal’s station and a cameo of a couple Big Ass Fans! I’m really looking forward to this new coaster! Samurai was running, it runs a pretty weak cycle but it’s still fun! I approve of any park with a sky ride! Nice way to get across the park and get off your feet for a few minutes You can see social distance markers for the shows later in the evening The Wave Swinger is missing it’s top from the storm damage a few weeks ago Colossus, what a great ride!! The rides here are operated well and efficiently. All lines kept moving. Love the Flyers here Cannibal’s first drop is fantastic! All rows were being loaded on all rides Two trains, one photo This was the only part of the park that felt congested to me This ride was missing it’s roof from the storm damage too The Biergarten was amazing, if you visit you must have a meal here! Joey highly recommended getting a Beaver Tail and he was right! They were delicious! Oreo Cheesecake Hey! This Shake Shack still has Peanut Butter! Roller Coaster’s new trains and retracking made this such a smooth and fun ride!!! Denied a ride on Jet Star 2 For $20 you can skip the line for 7 of the mazes, completely worth it as they have to socially distance groups in the mazes Super busy for the mazes, general lines were over an hour, but with Time Warp, we didn’t wait over 15 minutes I felt that they did a great job with their haunt, the scare actors wearing masks made it harder to see them, so some of the scares were really really good We ended the night with a couple of walk on rides on Colossus Thanks Lagoon for a great visit! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Glad you could make it to a park and have some fun! I forgot about the crazy wind storm SLC had a few weeks ago, glad they could bounce back so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 ^ I've been an enthusiast for quite a while and I like reading up on Lagoon and their flat rides, but I didn't know there were any ferris wheels with spinning gondolas! I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Great TR of your visit there! And I was wondering - what did you have at the Biergarten, that you enjoyed so much? Just curious of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Great report. I really do love this park. Thinking of going on the last day of their operating season, November 1st, if weather permits. But it's been a crazy warm September and October here in Utah so fingers crossed it stays that way a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I know Lagoon is close to Salt Lake City, so did they have any weird restrictions on beer? Kennywood has a two beers/person limit, so something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If it's anything like it was 2 years ago you can straight-up wheel in a cooler full of beer. I think they've also since built a beer garden. Maybe a local knows more about the specific rules... PS: God, I love this park. I hate how much I love this park because it's in the middle of nowhere but I love this park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
