Cannibal Review | Intimidating 116° Drop on a Roller Coaster! Lagoon's Biggest Thrill Ride

I live in Utah and have a season pass, but haven’t been on cannibal yet. Only wicked. I have to know if it is too intense or scary at all...

[@benjaminnunez4147]

kremit the frog it's not that scary. The only scary part would be if your afraid of heights and your at the top. My first time when I was at the top i was like: what have I done... But after you do the drop if you like roller coasters its fun and not too intense. The only intense part is the cannibal roll. I would totally reccomend riding it though

[@blakestoudt2131]

this ride is hand smack down THE most excellent, smooth, powerful, thrilling, beautiful ride I've EVER been on and I'm 50 yrs old. doesn't hurt anything not one tiny bit, it was my first time, after waiting 3 years, the line moved fast and I had the finest AWesOME time EVER!! took 25 years off my "old" attitude too!! I highly recommend it!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@raedar2234]

First time I went on it with my dad I was terrified. It scared the crap out of me but as soon as we got to the drop my hands went up and I had a blast. Only coaster I've done that on

[@ThePlanetCoasterCreator]

so since this is over 200ft that makes this a hyper coaster....hmmm a Hyper coaster with a beyond verticle drop...guess im going to utah!

[@brysonmerrell575]

it's a fun ride.

[@CVW2112]

Alex McMillion it actually is a 180 feet tge tower the guy failed to mention the drop goes 20 feet under ground.....

[@ThePlanetCoasterCreator]

CVW2112 that would be an important piece of information haha

[@seanloring6169]

CVW2112 it does not go 20 ft underground. The track does rise 208 ft.

[@xxaddyrallxx]

Actually y’all got it wrong. Hyper’s don’t have inversions. So Cannibal is not a hyper coaster.

[@pitbullsports990]

Looks amazing! You want to talk about breaking down? Top Thrill Dragster runs 50% of the time. Since 2003 you would think it would be figured out

Pretty much

Gerstlauer could have built it because it's similar to an Infinity Coaster

Yeah and it was built in house so ur right

It was built Art Engineering who built Wonder Mountain's Guardian

[@samjensen392]

I just went to Lagoon today, and I rode this three times. The line is really long, but with the efficiency of loading and unloading, it goes by much quicker than several of the other rides in the park.

This is an amazing ride! the scariest part is the elevator, especially when you're at the bottom and you look up at how high it is. The drop is amazing. The whole ride is awesome and it is my number one looping coaster (tied with Griffon at Busch gardens). I would go back to lagoon just to ride cannibal for hours it is so good!

[@HotAssets]

I know the lead engineer who designed this and Wicked. The reason why the lap bars are so weird is that they are a custom design so that amputees can ride them without falling out. It's kind of a long description on how they do it, but it's super interesting. The car also tells the operators if the person is too short, tall, fat etc. for the ride. Crazy cool engineering.

[@kitethetwinblade]

Except that as a 6'4" man with somewhat generous proportions, they didn't think of putting a car outside for you to ensure you can fit, as many other major parks do. So, you could potentially wait in line for over an hour or two, and not be able to ride and forced into the walk of shame.

[@caden2107]

It's so underated because not a lot people have ridden it. I live in so cal so it's only 10 hours away but is still pretty far.

Nice job with the review. I agree with your assessment. My favorite element besides the first drop is the Lagoon roll, the air/hang time is like nothing else you can experience anywhere. Hands up is the only way to go through the lagoon roll. It is unbelievable. To your point about not being intense enough, I actually like that it's not too intense because then I can ride it over and over again.

[@willmurphy24]

I live in Utah and cannibal and roller coaster are my favorite rides there, ya there is a roller coaster named roller coaster there, it’s 2019 now it doesn’t break down anymore

[@isaiahezekiel2737]

I went on it yesterday for the first time. Definitely didn't disappoint!, so I went 3 more times that day. You can usually get through the line pretty fast, because of the multiple cars being processed.

[@ashton5959]

For some reason, when you are about to go into the elevator, I just love the King Taa shrine

[@CVW2112]

If anyone has any questions about this ride ASK ME i was a ride mechanic at lagoon and i had to put this thing together....... FYI it was delayed cause the restraint system FAILED what they call a Violence test....

Thats crazy that is a lapbar having that first drop

[@marenmonkress8988]

I just rode this yesterday I was super scared because of the lap belt but it is extremely safe. the belt is practically like a table and it has a bar for your legs so your legs are secure as well.

Is this considered a Hyper coaster even though it has inversions and an elevator lift instead of a chain lift?

[@bfrizzle]

Yes

[@justinthomas5270]

Thanks

[@revimfadli4666]

Yes, welcome to the new era where you no longer have to choose between inversions+OTSRs vs 200+ ft+airtime+lap bar. Inb4 the first inverting giga coaster...

[@MrMywildside]

I think this is a very cool coaster. It is neat that this park practically in my back yard now has a record holder. You should try this ride at night sometime if you haven't. The elevator shaft is pitch-black, and the first drop into the tunnel seems to swallow you alive! I will say that like you, I love roller coasters, and rides in general.

[@heymanthatscoolable]

Lagoon is an awesome park, I've been here many times

[@craigperry3779]

I volunteered for a terrible 4 day conference just to get a 3 hour window that I could sneak out and ride this..... worth it. The first drop is absolutely nuts!

[@tylerthecoasterenthusiast5273]

Great review of the steepest drop on America! :)

[@utahcoasterenthusiasts]

Great Review! I do dis agree that the Lagoon Roll is the best part of the ride. I think the beyond vertical drop being as tall as it is is the best part of the ride. Are you going to review the other rides? I'd like to know what ya thought of BomBora. That is one of my favorites there.

[@CoasterStudios]

I will review the larger rides when I get the chance.

There are free lockers at the begging of the line. When it first opened they had plastic storage totes to put your stuff in. The next year of operation they installed free lockers. They're just like the lockers by wicked and the fire dragon.

This ride is amazing. I rode it 3 times in a row, it’s so good

[@tiffanyclegg6088]

Cannibal*

[@just-a-silly-goofy-guy]

Where did you here about this hyper ride? I would personally prefer one in between wicked and cannibal to build up a little to cannibal, as I feel I haven’t built up enough to go on it. (I still will but not now)

[@Cooe.]

Learn to spell, and no they aren't. Their next coaster is NOT an extreme level Cannibal type ride. Also, it's obvious you were like 12 when you wrote this xD.

[@PyroBear1776]

Definitely on my bucket list, at least once. 😊

[@boi_wut9462]

[@poltoq8856]

They did that on purpose

[@Seanyexwest]

Thank you for mentioning that you feel like you’re going to fall out. I was terrified of this ride because everyone I went with or asked about it said they felt secure the whole ride. Gave it another try knowing I wasn’t the only one and it was a blast.

[@jt_nights]

I know! I tried the test seat and it didn’t go on my waist it went on my thighs. I was terrified, but when I got on the train, it got on my waist, but I still felt like I was gonna fall out on the drop and the lagoon fool!

[@JackDaGamer77]

i live about 25 minutes away from lagoon so when its open we go A LOT. And cannibal is BY FAR my favorite ride. but i can only ride it about 2 times per visit before i get a massive headache and feel like im about to throw up. And i dont know what it is about the end part but i ALWAYS almost pass out on that part. but we stop just in time for me to not pass out. And i dont know what it is about that part but for some reason i always almost black out. Overrall, i give it a 9.3/10

[@nikm2089]

This is a good ride, highly recommend.

[@beaugemperline4674]

The guy who designed this ride lives down my street, and I got to test ride it before it opened.

[@apothecurio]

I’m pretty good with coasters. This one of the only coasters besides those stratas that would really make my heart pound. This thing legitimately scares me and I want to ride it ASAP.

[@SethDaughters]

I went on that ride this year for the first time 2018. I live nearby but I don't go to Lagoon often probably once every 4 or 5 years. But because of cannibal I think I want to go back again this year it's great I did feel like I was going to fall out but I think that's part of the thrill.

[@Judeedits-v5]

Todays my birthday and I went on cannibal for the first time and I loved it

[@SchrodingersCat8813]

Finally got to ride this. I agree with your overall assessment of "not forceless but not forceful" was very fun, not mind blowing. I actually think I would've like Wicked more if not for the MCBR. Its first half was killer but its killed by that MCBR. But yeah fun, unique ride, that drop is wild. My only real issue is I wish those trims weren't there, or at least lighter. Have some major bite and I felt it sapped that big turn when it could've been real intense, instead was mild.

You also can't ride alone on Bombora, Roller Coaster or Bat. I just want to understand why you can't ride alone. I had to ride with a male employee cause I was with a non-riding buddy.

+Justin An I rode those coasters alone.

[@imconfused6955]

If you had seen the restrints on Jet Star II you would understand why they dont allow single riders.

Not really cause Tig'rr at Indiana Beach allows single riders and the restraints are the same.

if you love this coaster than you will LOVE full throttle. it's hangtime is incredible

[@KaizomanGD]

Well in Japan here we have Takabisha. I know we don’t have elevator roller coasters but ours has 7 inversions. And it’s steeper.

[@RONDOG6669]

I've rode coasters around the world and this ride is seriously one of a kind. My biggest gripe is that they should have built if facing the mountains. the Lagoon Roll(Awesome that they got to name it) is better than the epic drop. Top 5 Coaster for me.

[@CVW2112]

RONDOG6669 lagoon roll is a first of its kind and its patented and any time that element is used its call that....

[@Cooe.]

I understand why they faced the valley floor instead, as it makes the "heights" sensation WAAAAAAAAAY stronger. You'd feel MUCH less high up if you faced the mountains, though it'd definitely be a lot prettier.

[@fizzydreamsgaming]

The only problem with cannibal is when you sit on the side in the middle row or even in the front row you feel like you're going to completely fall out because of the lack of restraints but luckily I was in the middle row but still I guess if you like feeling like you're going to fall out of things it's a pretty good ride overall
