They need something like a B&M hyper that’s high capacity and airtime focussed!

[@lewz_r]

I agree, they definitely need something a bit bigger than cannibal that is truly world class, because rn for me I really don’t think the $100 is worth for me

[@tmspaghetti]

@@lewz_r the big reason why they can have such a HUGE price is because of no other competing parks around utah

3 years ago(ok thats scary it feels like yesterday) you talked about a Chance Hyper GTX as an airtime machine for this park as the ideal for what it needs. Would you say thats still the case or do you think there is a better model out there now? Obviously a B&M Hyper or an RMC is your ideal expensive but like you said those things are expensive.

[@stephenroberts6826]

I don’t think Lagoon would shell out the cash for a B&M. It would be awesome if they worked with RMC, but their past shows they are kind of weird when it comes to working with coaster companies in the area. They never worked with Arrow, which was literally 10 miles away, and they have only worked with S&S on the Rocket (their drop towers) and rumor has it their relationship deteriorated when that was built over 20 years ago. I’ve been wishing for an airtime focused coaster for decades now, but definitely not holding my breath

Most locals are in agreement that Lagoon has gotten way overpriced... Disney level prices for mid six flags tier park. I've gotten tired of waiting for Lagoon to get better, so I'm just moving to Orlando lol

[@JakeCatmull]

Lagoon Nerd here. A few things that are not entirely accurate with your video 1. ART Engineering was involved with Cannibal but mostly only for the ride functions. Cannibal was designed by Lagoon's in-house designer. The Track was fabricated in SLC and the support structure was build in Farr West. 2. Wicked was designed in house but fabricated by Zierer. It was also their first attempt and designing in house. 3. Colossus (locals just drop the "Fire Dragon") Will frequently run two trains, it just depends on guest load. Since Primordial opened, that end of the park has been a lot slower. 4. Despite the fire in '53, roller coaster is far from original. Lagoon is put a lot of effort to ensure that the ride lasts for another hundred years. Up until about 15 years ago, back when they still painted it white, a section of track and support structure would be replaced every year during the winter off season. About 15ish years ago they switched over to pressure treated wood, stopped painting it white and have sense completely replaced the ride with pressure-treated wood. 5. Primordial has 2 cinematic endings paired with 3 coaster endings, for a combined 6 unique endings. Weeknights typically have the shortest waits

[@racheljackson4428]

Wow you really ARE a nerd!

[@infinitecoasters8769]

I’ve heard Whirlwind at Seabreeze runs similar to Spider. I might be riding that in a few days so I’ll have to see for myself.

[@EmberMcLain87]

so if a single rider wants to ride jet star will lagoon attempt to pair them with someone or would they be sol?

[@taeraresh2115]

They don’t attempt to pair people up. You’re jammed against the other person in your seat, so riding it with a stranger might be awkward.

[@MrMywildside]

I wouldn’t ride it with a perfect stranger. As said above, that’s awkward. I usually skip it when I’m at the park by myself. But if I go with a friend, especially a lady friend, then I go for a ride.

Video idea: (Coaster Battle) 1. This idea needs another coaster enthusiast present 2. Do a split screen video showing both players 3. The game is played by each player generating 3 random coasters from a database. The goal is to randomly generate an objectively better coaster than your opponent. Each player will generate the first two coasters, but* if the first two coasters aren't to your liking you may then reveal the third coaster with which you would have to pick, making it a calculated risk. First to reach the desired number of better coasters wins.

I always like the quality and commentary of your videos. I visited Lagoon for the first time last year and the ONLY ride I enjoyed was cannibal and it was just an OK experience. In my opinion not worth the price of admission compared to other parks that are in the same price point like both Busch Gardens parks, Dollywood and Silver Dollar city

Primordial is easily the second best coaster in the park I’d rank it much higher, it’s a hella lot better themed then any other ride in the park and it takes a step up from most similar rides/coasters that are similar to primordial in other parks. Not exactly a ride for thrill seekers but if you like both thrills and theme it’s such a great coaster.

Primordial at 6 is a little harsh - I would bump it up to#4 behind wicked. It's not much of a pure coaster though and the wait is tough compared to all the other rides, if that's being factor into the ranking. I was disappointed with it my first ride too but it's growing on me with subsequent rides - outside of the guns being difficult to aim it's really well done and the multiple surprise endings are great (I hear there's six total but I've only experienced a couple so far).
