KBrylczyk Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Cannibal - Now in genuine Potato-Cam! Also some new photos in super HQ. Kinda wish the video was taken with this camera instead. imgur.com/a/mp1Eq Both from LagoonIsFun's forum.
pbrandoj Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 My favorite new picture, posted on Lagoonisfun by user Pennyfarmer... It looks so wrong but so awesome!
Woodie Warrior Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 That element looks like it should be lots of fun. Hopefully it provides plenty of hang time!
jray21 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Can it be open yet!? It really looks like a great ride. I'm ready to book my trip for when it opens!
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Amazing angle! Those inline twists will give some funky forces!
rcjp Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I love pictures of rolls from this angle! Can't wait to read some reviews once it opens.
I305forever Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This may be the first time in TPR when the acronym SLC is used positively.
glucky11801 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This may be the first time in TPR when the acronym SLC is used positively. Why SLC (Suspended Looping Coaster)? This is a Sit-Down Coaster.
Marney Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 This may be the first time in TPR when the acronym SLC is used positively. Wrong city. SLC will never be used positively on TPR
pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Except Lagoon is in Logan. You fly into SLC. That's the airport code too so there's not much room to change the acronym.
linearinduction Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Except Lagoon is in Logan. You fly into SLC. That's the airport code too so there's not much room to change the acronym.Lagoon is in Farmington, Utah, roughly Half Way between Salt Lake City and Ogden. Logan is more than an Hour away from Lagoon, where as, Lagoon is only 20 Minutes from Salt Lake International Airport. How about let's use SL,UT instead? Yin, "SL,UT" T-Shirts are quite a Popular Tourist Gift! lol
pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 ^Lol I guess I don't know Utah as well as I thought. All I know is it's far from where I live in Provo.
KBrylczyk Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 ^ Provo to Farmington is 61 miles. That's an hour, tops, on the highway. And don't talk to me about traffic. Utah's "traffic" is a joke compared to real cities.
Jetstar2 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) If I was flying into Utah to ride Cannibal (assuming I wasn't arriving or departing on a Sunday), I'd take the Trax Light Rail Green Line from the airport terminal to the North Temple station, then take the escalator down to the FrontRunner commuter rail station, and take that to the Farmington station. Then I'd stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Farmington that is basically across the street from Lagoon (though not across the street from the entrance). I'd use the Free UTA Lagoon Shuttle as my main transportation between the park, the hotel, the train station and the Station Park development where there's a grocery store and a bunch of other shops (even an Apple store). I'd buy my food at the grocery store and take it into the park in a cooler like everybody else does. Oh, and if my budget didn't allow for the Hampton Inn, I might just bring a tent and stay at Lagoon's campground and get an admission discount. Edited March 31, 2015 by Jetstar2

Utah's "traffic" is a joke compared to real cities. I knew I was going to get a comment like that. Lagoon is far enough away that I wouldn't make it any sort of weekend ordeal like I would for, say, Sundance. Any knowledge I have of where Lagoon is comes from my cousin who firmly believed it would take 2.5 hours to drive there. I feel totally ignorant now and I'm sorry about that. I should have looked it up for myself. It still looks pretty far away, but certainly not in Logan and definitely not 2.5 hours away.
UtahCoasterRider Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Utah is a great place. Hopefully you all can visit it sometime. A visit to Temple Square is a must for a trip to SLC. I think those "SL,UT" shirts are stupid and are in poor taste.

I think those "SL,UT" shirts are stupid and are in poor taste. I saw someone wearing that in LA, really mature. Does Lagoon do the maintenance of Colossus in house or do they contact Gerstlauer for it?
jray21 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 SLC car rentals are not expensive. Very true. I got a economy car for less than $20 for the day.
JeromyL Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I usually fly up in the morning. Rent a car. Go to the park and fly back that night (from Vegas). Total trip usually under 150 (including car, food, and tickets for 2). some times a little more if the kid begs for merch...
