ParkTrips Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Any park with two Schwarzkopfs deserves more fanboys than you!! (as long as Lagoon doesn't remove either of them for this expansion.. then the park will be dead to me)
TheKlockster Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 I can't wait to get out and do Lagoon and Silverwood!
Twister II Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 ^Or even better, Lagoon, Silverwood, AND the Mormon temples!
SharkTums Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 ^^You do know it's a 12 hour drive between the two parks right??? Unless you're flying, I don't think those are two parks to do together on the same trip!
Calvin Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 ^^You do know it's a 12 hour drive between the two parks right??? Unless you're flying, I don't think those are two parks to do together on the same trip! Unless you're driving down to like, Los Angeles, from Montana. Which I've done. Then it's totally feasible. But other than that...
saturday97 Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 Great, it'll probably open around the time we are moving out of state. Curse you, Lagoon! Seriously though, TPR should do a Lagoon meet next year. I volunteer to help those from the beer thread find suitable beverages!

Unless you're flying, I don't think those are two parks to do together on the same trip! But still, you fly into Boise, its still an 8 or 10 hour drive! I usually go to Boise once a year.
mikecoolguy Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I have a couple friends that work at Lagoon. They told me about the industrial theme, but they also told me it's just what they'd been told by other employees. They didn't seemed to convinced that it would actually be industrial themed. I'm not quite sure what "industrial" themed would even be. I'm guessing something along the lines of the Italian Job coasters. I can't think of anything closer to industrial than that, other than I guess Scream. Mike 8)
SharkTums Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Actually, we're totally planning to go to Lagoon for a long weekend next year! Lagoon, S&S, Park City...should be fun!
Twister II Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 I thought S&S wasn't even open to the public yet?
mikecoolguy Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's open for sure. Here's a link talking about it. http://www.utahstatesman.com/media/storage/paper243/news/2005/09/26/Features/One-Flag.Over.Logan-998084.shtml?norewrite200608062255&sourcedomain=www.utahstatesman.com They changed the name of the park to Celebration something.

Calvin Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Well that's just plain old kickass, innit? No, really, that's awesome.
ECZenith Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I had forgotten all about that S&S park. Hopefully they'll set up more of their evil machines. It would be cool if they just kept all the prototypes right in the park and then spiffed them up and opened them for the public... which is actually what they're probably going to do in some cases.
mikecoolguy Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 That's what I've heard. Stan is my aun't uncle. Kind of a distant relative. My aunt knowns that I love roller coasters, so she tells me stuff about Stan and what he's doing with his park. Mike 8)
OzCatter Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 $5 PER ride!??!!?!?!? Um...no. $10 for the Drop, I think not eh?
mikecoolguy Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 If I wasn't so deathly afraid of heights I'd do the Boom ride. I would pay $5 to go on the Sky Sling though. But not for the Extreme Swing. 8)
Calvin Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 $5 PER ride!??!!?!?!? Um...no. $10 for the Drop, I think not eh? Although, you do drop for an insanely long time.
Twister II Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 ^OR you could just go on the TPR 2007 MidWest trip, and ride Millennium Force AND get lots of other random crap, plus a tour of the MidWest!
saturday97 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Great, Elissa! BTW we have a Carrabas...but you probably already knew that!
pdon Posted August 13, 2006 Posted August 13, 2006 Lagoon has erected the first vertical support on the new coaster for next year. It looks to be less than 100' tall, so not sure if it is the top hat support or not. Pictures to follow later tonight. The first support, maybe 100' tall.

TheStig Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Ummm....so what is this supposed to be? Those "supports" look like rusty steel tubes. Am I missing something? Colin C
coastakid Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Maybe they didn't paint them yet, becuase they wanted too see what would fit the location nicely.. or its themed to a rusty well...uhh
