Cannibal - The world's scariest roller coaster

Look at this roller coaster. It’s tall, fast, and extremely steep. Cannibal at Lagoon amusement park opened back in 2015 and has been considered one of the world’s top roller coasters ever since. It stands 208ft 63m tall, features a 116-degree drop, and has a one-of-a-kind inversion, a Lagoon roll! The thing is, these aren’t the most impressive or unique aspects of the ride. So, what is it that makes Cannibal so special?

Hello, Harry. My name is Tony Pellegrino. I'm from Rochester, New York, USA. My home park is Seabreeze, a small scale amusement park in Irondequoit, which opened in 1879. It has a roller coaster called Jack Rabbit, which opened in 1920, and is the world's oldest continuously operating roller coaster. If you could make a video about this historic coaster in the future, that would be amazing. If you ever visit Upstate New York, I recommend visiting Seabreeze even though it's a small park.

[@hippo1580]

It's always nice to have the community make a video on your relatively ignored home park.

[@stephenroberts6826]

If you like rollercoasters and theme parks, you should follow canobiecoaster- he recently put out an awesome review of Lagoon

[@coasterbot]

There's lots of unique rides and theme parks out there that aren't talked about enough!

[@605coasters]

I'm glad Cannibal brought some much deserved attention to Lagoon. I've been there 4 times, and only once did I have a sorta "bad" time. And that was because I was dumb enough to visit on a Saturday close to Halloween lol so crowds were terrible, but otherwise nothing really wrong.

[@zgpx]

Agreed I’m getting my degree in business tourism and have found Lagoon not talked about I live in Salt lake and while I love the park I don’t think it’s amazing I like theme parks not amusement parks. Though this roller coaster was designed by Dal freeman an absolute Genius and helped develop Utah also helped with splash mountain as an imagined though I believe that Julie freed isn’t doing a great job running Lagoon at the moment. Not saying she’s awful just saying I would would some things better

[@Kayjee17]

I can't wait for the new ride to open this year. It's been sitting there teasing us for YEARS now!

[@ryan_n05]

something you forgot to mention is how smooth the in-house rides are. the track pieces can be much larger since they don’t have to travel that far, and that makes the rides so much smoother. bombora is still one of the smoothest coasters i’ve ever been on, and it’s over a decade old.

[@coasterbot]

That's a very good point!

[@jacobarnell1634]

And don't forget the tribal drums shaking you to your core as you go up the lift. Scariest part of the ride for me

[@coasterbot]

Amazing!

[@blakegrundy2600]

I rode this ride 17 times in a row during the pandemic right when lagoon opened. I definitely shouldn’t have done it but it still is my favorite coaster memory.

[@coasterbot]

That's really awesome!

[@BlueZirnitra]

Bet you felt kinda rough the next day?

[@beowolf9480]

something else you should have noted, another thing that absolutely played a part in their decision to make Bombora in house was with Wicked, while they had designed it in house, they outsourced the making of it to Zierer, like you mentioned, however, what you didn't mention with it was that prior to launch it was discovered that the supports on Wicked were not welded properly, meaning they all had to be redone, which pushed back the opening of the ride

[@coasterbot]

Oh that's interesting to hear actually!

[@yolekz]

this isnt the scariest roller coaster ever, but boy was THIS INTENSE!! i love this thing so much

[@coasterbot]

It really does look intense! That dive loop looks amazing 😍

[@Quinu12]

I agree. Dating and parenting are by far the scariest rollercoasters.

[@BlueZirnitra]

​@@Quinu12 Damn good point, they have a lot in common.

[@slcbuilds3687]

Rode that with my daughter when she was around 7 years old. Just barely tall enough to ride. They had to put a seat booster in just in case so she was tight enough. So what makes this ride so scary is it just has a lap bar of sorts. No over the shoulder restraints. It literally feels like you're going to fall out when it does the corkscrew to reverse corkscrew. It's a fun ride and my daughter loved it, but it just feels a bit sketchy.

[@coasterbot]

I'm glad you both enjoyed it!

[@utahcoasterenthusiasts]

Nada. Lapbars are the only way to go. No sketchiness at all.

[@LunarBlossoms]

This ride would be ruined if there was over the shoulder lapbars

[@OrangeOctopi7]

Lagoon season pass holder here! Cannibal looks way more intimidating than it actually is, it's a fast, smooth ride, and an absolute joy. Whenever we go to Lagoon (which is often when we only live an hour away) it is the first ride we hit, and usually we'll come ride it again at the end of the day if we have time. One of the things that impresses me the most is how fast they keep the queue moving. As long as the ride is actually operational and cycling cars through, even when the line is out past the Ferris Wheel, it goes super fast. It's only when they're having technical difficulties that the line stalls, and I only saw that happen twice last year. Colossus is still my favorite, but that's definitely due to nostalgia.

[@coasterbot]

I've heard Cannibal is a queue eater, which is really great to see. Colossus looks like a quality ride too!

[@neooblisk0084]

​@@coasterbot Another season pass holder here, it is sooo smooth, like butter. One nice thing about the que is it also has a single rider line, which really speeds it up. 1 point you did miss about the atmosphere is on the elevater lift you can see the previous lift coming down and then wheb you are about to get crushed both carts move sideways on the lift to dodge eachother, small moment but really adds character. Overall thanks for giving my home park some love.

[@agent5103]

@@coasterbot colossus is super jerky and breaks all the time

[@suzybearheart530]

@@neooblisk0084I wish Jetstar would do a single rider line! They could pair up single riders so if you’re in a party of 3 the odd man out can still ride.

[@ChalkyLoki]

The Lagoon roll is absolutely magical! The story of this ride's development explains a lot of why it's so special. It's easily one of my top three roller coasters.

[@coasterbot]

That's awesome to hear!

[@5MadMovieMakers]

Fun story: I hadn't been on a coaster for months due to lockdown when I visited here and I got sick on both Spider and the small inverted coaster. That altitude didn't help. The shimmy in the Cannibal lift was very unusual! Still glad I went

[@scubajoe3321]

The fact they managed to make a good smooth Rollercoaster without making any before (other companies who tried made rough un heartlined Rollercoasters) but they did it on the first try basically

[@woodencoasterfan]

Lagoon is a unique and one of a kind park which is why it is one of my favorites. It is able to keep its “small park” charm while having some of the best coasters out there. They also have two rare Bill Tracey dark rides with the Terroride and Dracula’s Castle on the main midway and Pioneer Village which has a huge collection of Utah’s oldest houses and antique museums.

[@ericcartman3385]

I was on the maintenance crew for lagoon and it was a fun thing to build... Trust me there is so much i could tell you about that coaster... It was rotated amongst employees to work on it cause we had our other rides to do during the off season. I actually got to witness the first drop test as well... The delay for the ride was cause of the restraint system had to be redesigned it failed what they call a violence test...so it was back to the old drawing board... And also it was a eater of ppl too.. One of our guys got his hand nearly ripped off cause the wrench he was holding while torquing the bolts tight took him for a ride of his own..and it was savage ...I saw it happen it was not pretty... Also, one of the heavier parts of track was a section of the lagoon roll it was about 13,000 lbs.... OH and primordial is being built on what we used to call the grave yard....just different things that were junk or only used for frightmares. But now since I guess the long flume is gone...I wonder what that's going to be used for.... Any questions....???

[@BlueZirnitra]

That's living the dream for a coaster fan. How do they do the violence test? What happened, did the restraint open or did the failsafes work?

[@ericcartman3385]

@BlueZirnitra Violence test is what a restraint system goes through all points of the ride...the pins or bolts snapped and that's not a good thing...when they did the initial drop test it was weights on a mock train...it had no seats nothing ..just these huge weights... It made it the first time around... There was an actual betting pool too... It was a dream and I was on the maintenance crew so I really got to see the behind the scenes... And 90% of the paint job was hand painted and no 2 are the same like if it was wood... I mean there is alot to that ride..I actually stood inside the parameter fence when it came by me at 70mph I heard the horn and I was like WOW

[@WasatchWind]

I had no idea they took out the log flume 😕 Revival of the old mine train coaster plan???

[@Kayjee17]

I really HATE the restraint system on Cannibal. It puts a lot of your body weight resting against the "table" structure during the side to side twist, and that's extremely uncomfortable for anyone who is plus sized. Why didn't they use over the shoulder restraints like Wicked?

[@hotpinkkt]

@@Kayjee17 Wicked isn't over the shoulder restraints. It has the same table like restraint but I get what you're saying. I'm suuuper skinny and petite and that makes the restraints evven worse cause you bounce around a bit and it puts more pressure on you.

I really love this ride. As someone who lives in Utah, and isn't really able to leave the state that much, I've never been able to go to any park other than Lagoon. I watched videos of people recording on more intense roller coasters when I was young, and wish we had something ourselves. When Cannibal opened, it was a much needed bump in intensity compared to the rest of the park.

[@coasterbot]

It's really cool to see such a local park investing heavily!

[@braxbro7602]

So glad to see my home park and my 8th favorite coaster ever see some representation!!

One time when I was riding the cannibal during a thunderstorm, a giant bolt of lightning struck in front of us just a ways away when we got to the very top. Coolest coaster experience ever

You did an awesome job reviewing this ride and park, loved the history aspect of the park you prefaced with. This has been my home park my whole life. Without Lagoon I most likely wouldn’t be a coaster enthusiast, so many great memories at this park dating back to the 80’s

[@coasterbot]

Thanks for the kind words. It's awesome to hear you love the park, it's really nice to hear good things about people's home parks :)

[@iaxacs3801]

I remember when Cannibal had the tower go up they did it right next to the Ferris Wheel so me and my friends would ride the Ferris Wheel to try and see what they we're up too. All we got was it was a coaster when we saw one of the tracks Edit: Also the spot where the ride operator is standing is actually a cooking pot

[@MelkromisteinWeeb]

Despite having two entirely different layouts and gimmicks, Cannibal always reminds me of Kärnan.

It's brilliant design work, because everything about Cannibal is what would happen if you asked for a laundry list of features from enthusiasts and families, then had to stick it into one ride. The forces are unique, but not remotely as strong as Jet Star, Colossus , or Wicked. It's smooth as glass. The restraints allow your body to move around, and the height limit is pretty normal. It provides a range of elements, so that if one thing isn't your favorite (or is scary for a little one) there is still a lot to enjoy. But it also doesn't feel like a compromise ride, or a one trick pony. The engineering and design teams knocked it out of the park.

The first time I got to ride Cannibal, my little sibling and I were alone in the front row! It was for sure a breathtaking experience. I really do appreciate the extra twists and turns after that huge drop, as if they'd not had those, it would be total whiplash after that drop. The scariest part is by far the slow elevator ride up -- you said in your video that when you're about to enter the car, you're already stuck-- that's not technically true, as there are panic exits and you can always flag an employee down to direct you out. But when you're in the elevator? *That* is your real no turning back moment. You can't exit at all. And then there's the slow curve and the drop, and it's only less scary than the elevator part because you aren't thinking at all, just holding on for dear life, certain you'll fall upside down out of the car. Gahh I loved it! It's very rare for me to see a coaster video about a coaster I've actually ridden, so this was way cool to see! :)

I'm the exact same!

Deffo getting more confident with your delivery, pal! Solid video.

[@coasterbot]

Thanks!

Reminds me of Adventure Island a bit, would absolutely love to see them have a crack at a coaster although they haven't built something inhouse for a few years now.

This is my field I love theme parks and luckily this park is local to me. Dal freeman is an incredible man I encourage you to look him up and his accomplishments he’s still alive to this day though I believe he’s 96, but without him a lot of the equipment for skiing wouldn’t exist along with most rides at lagoon. He also worked on splash mountain as an imagineer and Canibal was one of his last projects. The train you 3:23 was once used at the theme park known as Pixieland it was a small park on the coast of Oregon I believe it lasted just a few years but closed fairly quickly. Though the parks left over concrete was removed a few years ago returning the environment back to normal. Colossus the double looped coaster at 5:04 was a fair ride. It was purchased from the European fair circuit and moved to lagoon next time you go or if you go. Check out the mounts on the ground some are giant things of gravel as this ride wasn’t made to be stuck deep in the ground just held down. but to think that coaster was for fairs and can be taken down or setup in 1 day is incredible actual fact of how fast the fair circuit stated. Lastly I will add I like cannibal though I thinks it’s capacity is lacking I understand why it’s limited but I often don’t ride it due to the sheer volume of people. In line.

i live in utah. I've ridden this thing like 12 times. Its the best ride ever. I was actually at lagoon today and the primordial looks huge. I was kinda hoping it would be open this summer but I think it might come out 2024 despite the release date

[@coasterbot]

That's awesome! It's a shame Primordial seems to be delayed

[@tristanepperson8688]

I have been on cannibal and I really recommend it, if you love thrill and roller coasters, this one is for you!

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely Loved Every Minute. Must Ride.

[@coasterbot]

Awesome to hear!

[@jamestropicals8262]

‌ 🐉 I cannot wait to ride PRIMORDIAL! 🦉

[@imconfused6955]

This is a surprising title to see. But man do I love seeing it!

[@bethanytaylor1704]

This is the best roller coaster. Despite my season pass I have only ridden it once this year!

[@coasterbot]

You need to ride it some more!

[@RobbedTheBank]

That looks amazing but I’m not sure you’d catch me on that the DIY story sounds too much like Verruckt 😂

[@The_MenraC]

Did they take inspiration from a gerstlauer infinity coaster because Cannibal just seems like something only Gerstlauer would build something like that

[@challengeaccepted3708]

"who wouldn't want that?!" Uh, everybody that has to smell Salt Lake.

[@fub3747]

i love that thing

[@truerandomness]

Cannibal is not the scariest coaster I've ever been on. That award goes to Full Throttle because of its insane top hat. Maybe this is because I'm not particularly thrilled by beyond vertical drops. This didn't stop me from riding it 4 times when I first visited Lagoon. I particularly enjoyed the Lagoon roll and the grey-out helix. It's not even my favourite coaster at Lagoon, as I prefer Wicked for several reasons. Mostly it's because I like smaller coasters with lots of inversions (such as Batman at Six Flags Magic Mountain).

[@rivertdb7159]

Cannibal looks like how cartoons portray roller coasters.

[@coasterbot]

Ha ha that's true!

[@Verminity]

Cool video!

[@coasterbot]

Thanks!

[@Mr.Yeast2]

I rode this coaster, and it was really good, although I feel like x2 is scarrier

[@coasterbot]

I think that's fair, X2 looks insane!

[@mark2thed281]

Well done Harry! You and Zoe need to come and Ride this

[@coasterbot]

Thanks! I'd love to ride this one day 😁

[@MaximusHandimus]

how in the WORLD can this be scarier than karnan

[@merrickrace561]

I remember riding this a few years back and it was amazing! I will say that I was rather lucky as when I got off the ride the power went out around the park and the next set of riders were on the elevator and the elevator ended up dropping due to the power outage, everyone was fine to my knowledge but still a terrifying thought nontheless

[@sshben]

Excited for Primordial opening day.

[@AmazingElevatorsandClaws]

July 12th.Trust me

[@sshben]

[@coasterbot]

[@AmazingElevatorsandClaws]
