jray21 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 It's looking better and better every update! I should be able to be there the day it opens! Can't wait!
Philrad71 Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 I am seriously trying to figure out how we can get to Utah this year. I would love to be able to rent or buy a motor home so we can visit all of the awesome state and national parks (Bryce Canyon, Capital Reef, Monument Valley, Zion, etc) to see all the beautiful scenery as well as visiting this amusement park. This coaster looks amazing!
pbrandoj Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 New photo of the ride posted by Lagoon on their Facebook page today. I cannot wait for this to be done!
rcjp Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 ^Looking really nice! Fairly compact for a ride of that size.
RCF Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 ^Looking really nice! Fairly compact for a ride of that size. That's Lagoon for you. They have a small footprint with rides and such compacted in. Reason why you also see more flat rides here.
scbt Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Wow, it looks like they're finished installing track. Did we ever figure out what that track piece with LSMs was for?
Fooz Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 It's after the dive loop and the double down type dip, and before the cutback/overbank.
KingRCT3 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 It's still laking the first heartline roll (and a tiny piece before the final brakes), and then it'll be completed.
larrygator Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 I need to knock this park off my bucket in 2015.
BugEyed Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I've officially added Lagoon to the rough outline of my 2015 summer coaster trip itinerary. This decision does not come without a sacrifice or two, but I feel it's worth it. I just really have to ride this thing.
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I've officially added Lagoon to the rough outline of my 2015 summer coaster trip itinerary. This decision does not come without a sacrifice or two, but I feel it's worth it. I just really have to ride this thing. For me as well! I'm thinking about skipping all my other parks just to go here. My goal was to ride Fury325, Thunderbird, and experience the new resort at Legoland, FL. But this coaster has me thinking really hard about my decisions. LOL.
jray21 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 That park works well for me by train. I can take it overnight both ways, and renting a car in Salt Lake is super cheap. I'll definitely be there this year!

I'll definitely be there this year!You could even just ride Frontrunner to Farmington Station and take the Free Lagoon Shuttle to the park, unless you really want to rent a car.
KingRCT3 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Let's take a peek inside the tower: I spy... a double elevator lift à la Divertical/Matterhorn Blitz and other Mack wild mouses. Now I think the word I'm looking for is... headchopper. Look at that : From here... To there! Pictures thanks to LagoonIsFun.
robbalvey Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 The park sent us this amazing video today:
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Wow. Amazing video. Stunning. And who knew Utah would be so important this year? (I didn't.)
JeromyL Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Just say the word. M a g g i e and I will hop the first flight out as soon as this opens. We are there!
cOAstERdUDe117 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I think the best thing about Cannibal is the themeing. The water feature is especially awesome, here are some photos of the front and back of the waterfall.
DJeXeL Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Loving this more and more! Lagoon is not f*cking around!
Paradox Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The park keeps saying that the ride will have 3 inversions, but shouldn't there be 4? Has the secret element been released yet?
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 ^The secret element is love! Lagoon is putting a whole lot of love into this coaster.
Jcoaster Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The park sent us this amazing video today: I'm disappointed you haven't come up with a trendy new nickname for this coaster yet Robb. I need a trendy name for it.
cOAstERdUDe117 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The park keeps saying that the ride will have 3 inversions, but shouldn't there be 4? Has the secret element been released yet? The secret element is the special helix over the waterfall. It's a inline twist to the left, then it immediately turns to the right. And there's only 3 Inversions. The Immelman loop, diving loop, and special inline twist element.

The Immelman loop, diving loop, and special inline twist element. The switchback double barrel rolls (or whatever it will be called) technically was announced with the ride in the renderings. I believe it most likely would be something else, but we will know soon enough. Also, it should be considered two inversions, so four all together. Because it does invert you two times on it (as relation to the renderings.)
Nrthwnd Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 It looks so barren on the hills behind all this awesomeness. I do not know Idaho that well, but do the hills get really green at all during spring and/or summer? Just asking, thanks.
