ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Eh I'm nervous about the trains. They look very similar to Thunderbolts at Coney Island, and I've heard so many bad things about those. Because an in-house coaster would totally have Zamperla trains. I think the trains are going to be fun! This will provide such a great feeling going down the drop and through the inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This train already look a much better than Thunderbolt's train. At least the seat isn't plastic. I think it's more like an extended Dare Devil Dive train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatsu_dude Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Huh, there are only two wheel assemblies for three rows... Weird. It's probably going to be all one car with three rows and not three individual cars. Is Thunderbolt the same way? I know they are completely different rides and not related in any way but that does seem a little strange. Reminds me of the Mummy trains in a way.

RCF Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This does however say it's only concept, so the trains could be completely different as well as the layout it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This does however say it's only concept, so the trains could be completely different as well as the layout it shows. I took the words "not final, concept" to describe the plants and theming in that overhead drawing, not the layout or train design. I feel like those would be a bit more finalized, but who knows??

KingRCT3 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Huh, there are only two wheel assemblies for three rows... Weird. X-cars, Gerstlauer like Lynet, DDD or Anubis, etc. I don't find the trains pretty, but I think it will ride great! Cannibal is definitely a ride I'm waiting for.

The tunnel is right under two huge temples, and the water feature has a rock tunnel as well in the helix (there's some picture of the final plan somewhere.) Definately will help with the ride as well having it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 This ride looks amazing but I can't get over how ugly it is. I mean holy crap what the hell were they thinking? It still doesn't make me want to ride it any less because it looks great but every time I see a picture of it that's the first thing that comes to mind.

BugEyed Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't think it looks at all ugly. A little unconventional perhaps; but cool in a David Lynch's "Industrial Symphony No. 1" kind of way. Fitting for something called "Cannibal".

RCF Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 So here is the artwork showing the water feature I saw. Hopefully this is the actual water feature inside a rock tunnel with waterfalls going in the middle of the helix, because it looks pretty amazing! Also, Lagoon just released a teaser for Cannibal on their Facebook page! Definitely helps build up some anticipation. [fbvideo] [/fbvideo] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are completely different rides and not related in any way but that does seem a little strange. Reminds me of the Mummy trains in a way. Maybe they will be kind of like gerstlauer's eurofighter trains which only twist laterally (not fully articulated) with the difference that this has three rows. I guess we'll see.

GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The trains remind me of the Gerstlauer Infinity coaster trains (Smiler and Karacho). Also, that water feature is gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linearinduction Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Since These Trains were Designed BEFORE Thunderbolt's and the Gerstlauer Infinity Trains, it's more like those are copying ART Engineering's Trains. Still not cool these plans were stolen from someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marney Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Now that's something to get excited about. That't the kind of picture that gets you to start adjusting your vacation schedule to include Utah. The park should be marketing the crap out of this. God I hope this thing is smooth. I wouldn't worry about that, Wicked was built in house as well and it's smooth as butter except for one small piece of track near the final break run.

The only other in-house coaster at Lagoon is Bombora. Wicked's design was from Dal Freeman from Lagoon, but it was engineered by the stengel group and manufactured by Zierer.

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I keep watching that teaser about Cannibal on Youtube so many times I can't even count! LOL! It's not a POV, but it's something to keep me excited. I wish I was able to go in 2015, but I already have my "must visits list" for 2015 already done. I might go in 2016.

thrillseeker4552 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 ^The picture was originally posted a few pages back, but for some reason it's not there anymore.

KingRCT3 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Plus these photos were from 2012, it might have changed a bunch since then. Better wait some official announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_koppen Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Wicked's design was from Dal Freeman from Lagoon, but it was engineered by the stengel group and manufactured by Zierer. This is wrong. Wicked is designed and engineered by Dal Freeman. The only part the Stengel firm had was to give a second opinion, on the request of Zierer.
