As someone who worked Dracula's castle this past season let me say that the ride is terrifying for the operators who walk the back. There are several blind spots where the cars can give the operators a jump scare and have hit employees who are not paying attention. If they do upgrade the effects I'd hope they eliminate the need for an operator to stand in the back and have camera's watching the back. I've come away with several hits to the point where I just said no I'm not working the back to the other operators. That is how bad some of the blind spots are on the ride. Also the mausoleum scene has seen some of the cars get stuck there. The ride is in need of an update.
I didn’t work it this season but I heard that was a problem from other coworkers. The ride is also kind of falling apart so it would be pretty awesome if after the new ride scamper and carousel candy they gave that ride an overhaul cause it really needs it
Wow I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue. Hope they can make it safer!
This is more of an issue due to ride operators not being trained properly on how to rotate in the back. I am a supervisor on this ride, and I take extra care teaching my operators how to rotate in the back without being anywhere near a car.
As someone who lives in Utah I really enjoy going to Lagoon so I love seeing videos of Lagoon
It's a great park!
same
Cannibal for the win🎉. I love this ride that I feel like it should be the first favorite roller coaster in the whole wide world and beat all the other roller coasters in the world.🎉❤😂
It's fantastic.
I’m 50 and have been going to lagoon since I was probably 5 years old. I’ve ridden all the rides! Going again today as a chaperone and excited for the newest ride premordial. Wicked is actually my favorite ride. Followed be the spider, wild mouse, rattlesnake rapids, bombora, flying aces and the upside down plane ride. So many great memories!
I hated the samaraui
Jet start 2 and cliff hanger.
Nice!
Cannibal is truly one of the craziest rides ive ever been on. Personally I would rank colossus a little higher than wicked mainly because wicked's second half is so bad
I agree Colossus is more well-rounded, but Wicked's first half is so good that I give it the edge.
Even though it's a family coaster and doesn't have much but a few helixes, I'm surprised Bombora ranked as low as it did. I enjoyed my ride on it WAY more than I expected to, and the music was timed perfectly so the chorus finished as we pulled in the station. With how fun and smooth it was, I was begging the rest of my party to ride it again later on when we had gone through all the haunts we wanted to do. Another one I was sad to see left off was Turn of the Century, their wave swinger, if only because of the location over the lagoon. That ride at night was magnificent and with a little pumping I was alternating a nice serene coast over the water and waving to passersby on the Skyride.
I would have left out the train on my top 20, if only because I cannot abide by those animals having such small and uninspired enclosures. There have been several petitions over the years from locals to get rid of the majority of the park's animal enclosures, and I definitely understand why as pretty much all of the animals looked miserable. Otherwise I agree with most of the list - still haven't managed to get on any Flying Scooters though, and the line for Samurai forced me to balk at it but hopefully I can get on both next visit!
That's fair about the train and I wouldn't be surprised if it's removed in the future based on some criticisms I've seen.
Turn of the Century, this year, is listed as "Temporarily Closed." But when I went last weekend, The ride was literally laying in pieces. Just a stack of Steel and Swings sitting on Concrete. It doesn't look like 2024 will be a year that ride gets to show up in. Sad. It was one of my favorites. But Flying Aces is similar enough for a good backup - but they just lack the height, size, and scenery that made Turn of the Century so emblematic of the Park.
The swings. I love the swings.
Classics
This countdown is a HR! My favorite part is hearing you say "tricked out" in such a professional NPR/PBS voice. I love how the Lagoon logo pops on the drop tower at night. Gorgeous. Great countdown, your videos just keep getting better and better.
Wow, thank you!
Just so you know, the Log Flume closed at the end of last season, and has been completely torn out. There's rumor that Lagoon plans to install a much larger, custom built Flume that goes up into Rattlesnake Rapid's area.
That would be awesome.
Can't wait for that one. I hope they unveil it soon, Lagoon is very secretive about new projects.
Excellent. There are so many things I want to say but I can't put them into words. I want to leave this comment though so maybe the algorithm will bless you a bit ha ha.
High quality video. Exceptional work.
Thanks!
1. Samurai (when I get properly timed flips, which can give insane airtime/hangtime.
2. Cannibal
3. Wicked
4. Colossus
5. Flying aces
6. The Rocket (Blast off)
7. Air Race
8. Cliffhanger
9. Spider
10. Centennial Screamer.
what about rollercoaster
in the top 20.
I think I'd still take Cannibal over the craziest top scan I've experienced.
1. Cannibal
2. Rollercoaster
3. Sky Coaster
4. Colossus
5. Spider
6. Air Race
7. Terroride
8. Rattlesnake Rapids
9. Wicked
10. Wild Mouse
I think I should note that I haven’t ridden samurai or flying aces in years and plan to get rerides on them next season when primordial hopefully opens
Those 2 are well worth trying.
Lagoon seems like a wonderful park for its size, would love to visit one dayl
Combined with the free waterpark and museums, it's deceptively huge
It really is!
There is also a nature walking trail outside the park in the back with some nice views to the inside that include the rattlesnake rapids and the zoo animals. It does have a gap where you are walking on a neighborhood road so don't think the trail is over when you encounter it. I found it while viewing the construction of the newer mountain ride from outside the back of the park. It seems to be well known to active locals.
@@airistal Awesome, this park just keeps getting better and better, will try that on my eventual 3rd visit
it's honestly a massive park
My fav vids!
Nice!
My ranking on lagoons coasters
10. Puff the fire dragon
9. The bat
8. Wild mouse
7. Jet star 2
6. Bombora
5. Spider
4. Roller coaster
3. Colossus
2. Wicked
1. Cannibal
Same top 4 for the coasters.
I grew up going to Lagoon, and it's interesting to see the rides again, especially some new rides and rides that seem to have been rebranded.
They've added some nice stuff lately.
I LOVE Lagoon so much. I’ve gone there so many times with my family. In fact, me and my family are going again this year. We might also be going to Frightmares at Lagoon this year.
Enjoy!
@@CanobieCoaster Thank you.
I love going to lagoon me and my family all got season passes this year but I have a question where would Primordial go on this list now that its out
I haven't ridden it and have been avoiding spoilers. I suspect top half.
I can’t believe how smooth cannibal is, I thought I would only be able to ride it once then pass due to being jerked around, but ended up going two more times. One of my favorite coasters I’ve been on thus far. The wicked launch is awesome I do agree!
It's super rerideable.
I’m from utah and I go to lagoon quite often and flying aces definitely isn’t as intense as it was so I believe has been toned down a bit.
Dang it!
I’m also really excited for the new roller coaster at lagoon that is coming in mid 2023, It won’t be better then cannibal but still be a fun ride, Im going to guess that it’ll be the 4th best coaster in the park
It looks interesting.
putting the train ride on this list is so crazy lmao that is straight up the most depressing experience imaginable
Honestly I hope they remove the zoo bit in the future.
is there a specific strategy to get slack on the cable for Flying Scooters?
yes
Yeah, you move the fin outwards to get height. Then you move it inwards to dive back down. You need to move the fin in the opposite direction right before you reach the high/low point.
man I had no clue about what snapping was until now. Holy crap 😂
It's insane.
Operators aren't supposed to allow snapping so you need to ride when there's a chill operator.
Lagoon is my #1 'bucket list' amusement park.
Worthy.
Cannibal is #1 on my U.S. bucket list
Worthy
Guys one question. When I pay my entrance to Lagoon, which I saw its 96$ this year, my entrance include all the rides and attractions on Lagoon?
Except for the skycoaster and slingshot.
@@CanobieCoaster do you know how much is those extra rides?
Is this park pay per ride? I have seen photos and clips making it seem like it is, but I cannot find anything about it on the website
I believe there is some sort of pay per ride option, but I always go with the handstamp.
@@CanobieCoaster ah. Suppose it would be worth it considering the lines aren't too long
@@zachcoastercrazy4032 The option to pay for each ride is only for children, the handstamp gets you on every ride except the X-Venture zone attractions such as Catapult (slingshot) and skycoaster.
nice.
Thanks
One thing is that behind the museum district of this park, a few of the animal enclosures can be walked right up to
Ah good to know.
Now why does this show up right after I get home from lagoon
Coincidence
I go to lagoon a lot and i can say on the flying aces you just got a bad ride but thats just me
Glad my old rides are still the standard.
Bro needs to update this list😂 primordial is now open!
I'm glad it opened!
Now that Primordial is open, where would you have ranked it on this video? I would've given it the Number 2 Spot
I haven't ridden Primordial (and I'm avoiding watching a POV to avoid spoilers), so I don't know where it would go.
@@CanobieCoaster it's a very cool and unique ride and it is well worth the 2 hour wait time. That's all I will say to avoid spoilers
Lagoon is my home park.
Nice!
when me and my friend went on the swings we we're genuinely traumatized by the end lmao. our seat belts weren't fastened correctly so we spent the entire ride holding on for dear life, your swings go completely sideways for a fair portion of the ride so we genuinely thought we were gonna die. leave it to lagoon to accidentally make the most traumatizing rides lol.
Oh my!
Lagoon has so much to offer abd is in a good spot, out in the middle of nowhere Utah. Well in Salt Lake City but no other parks anywhere close to it. The park is probably lacking a modern thrill ride.
I think they have an excellent lineup, especially considering the lack of competition.
i went on air race for the first time 3 weeks ago
Nice!
i know this was uploaded 6 months ago and this is a newer event but the log flume as been retired
Yes I heard.
Jumping Dragoon simple but fun.
It's a fun flat.
i rode samurai when it was at max intensity. i got constant flipping
Nice!
My son loves lagoon
Nice!
My favorite ride is the roller coaster.. Locals call it the white roller coaster.
Yes they do.
From a rides supervisor at Lagoon:
1. Cannibal
2. Catapult
3. Skycoaster
4. Samurai
5. Wicked
6. Colossus
7. Cliffhanger
8. Rattle Snake Rapids
9. Rocket
10. Terroride
I'm not a big fan of slingshots myself.
I really like Wild Mouse
Nice!
Wasn't Cannibal built by the same company that built Wonder Mountain's Guardian.
ART did Wonder Mountain.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah didn't they built Cannibal?
@@DaanBruins they only did the trains I think
please review colossus the fire dragon.
I will in the future.
ok
best park
It's fantastic.
Rattlesnake rapaids is my favorit ride
A fun ride for sure.
In 2024 they removed log flume.I used to love going on log flume though
It was a fun water ride.
Why did you not show screamer
It's a fun flat, but I prefer the others in the park.
I go to Lagoon every year, and I haven’t even watched the video, and I already know cannibal is probably top
It's the top spot.
rock o plane is like zipper
A little. Zipper is more random and chaotic for me.
Once I was in Lagoon a beach and when we were going up the stairs for one of the rides, we LITERALLY saw three BABY BIRDS! my brother tried touching it. (Bad idea ofc) then the mama bird pecked him 😂
P.S. Jet Star 2 Is HORRIBLE! I was in the front where the seatbelt is and when it just STOPPED at the end, my stomach HURT on the outside😭 the seatbelt hit it! 😂😭
Oh my!
I go to lagoon in the summer, and lagoona beach by itself is almost better that the roller coasters. But if i had to rank the roller coasters, colossus would be number 1.
Lagoon is such a great park all-around.
I believe Colossus has higher G force than Cannibal.
in flying aces my mom was on it and she was going so high that she hit a tree and i was scared watching it (also she was ok).
Wow!
@@CanobieCoaster omg i have never been noticed in a comment before and now i have been noticed by the creater
@@jaycehume-jb9ml now you have been noticed by 2 people.
Unfortunately Log Flume has been retired and closed in September of 2022
That's a bummer it was retired.
@@CanobieCoaster they said it fell in to disrepair and so they just retired it instead, not sure what they're going to put in its place yet
please review colossus
I will in the future.
It was pretty obvious cannibal was gonna win this its easily the best ride in the park
I agree.
Have you guys seen the skeletons in the cave on cannibal
I may have missed those.
can you pease review primordial
When I ride it. Not sure when that will be though.
once that park gets a B&M, they will be ready to start multiplying, if they want to
They don't need a B&M since they make coasters so well themselves.
no doubt, My point is they just need one more killer coaster to be a perfect park, a park that can be left alone for other parks to be develop. They got an amazing lineup that can only get better, guess we will have to wait for this future project
I would kill for a B&M coaster, it would put lagoon on the map, plus, B&M's are my favorite coasters
@@VeiledArctic me too, a floorless or invert would do magic there
@@Shwiftea Those too, especially when the bat is the only coaster of that type there. It doesn't have any redeeming qualities lol
The animal cages are concerning to say the least
I wonder if that's why they're out of sight from the midways.
The cages are much larger in the back, Lagoon actually takes excellent care of their animals
also review wild mouse
I don't have plans to review the Lagoon one.
please review spider
I have reviewed Crush's Coaster, which is similar.
@@CanobieCoaster but i need spidef
The log flume is gone now :(
I heard. Hope they replace it with something good.
Nah bro no way you put Flying Aces as #2 💀
I love snapping.
@@CanobieCoaster It is pretty fun but be careful because it's technically against the rules. You need to ride it while there's a chill operator.
I put it at number one. Nothing is as scary or feeling out of control if you know how to ride it right.
Best flat ride is Serengeti Flyer at Busch
That ride looks great.
REVIEW JET STAR 2
I reviewed Tig'rr at Indiana Beach that is similar.
@@CanobieCoaster BUT I NEED JET STAR 2
You exclude the bat but not the train
I find Bat uncomfortable.
For me since I live in utah I say that colossus is number 3 for me then wicked at number 2 and number 1 ...
Is cannibal
Cannibal is such a great ride.
Anxiously awaiting primordial to open.
Fourth
Nice
so sad they took out the log flume
RIP
U forget todos wave
I prefer these 20.
blue tornado tortures you
Yes it does.
please pov terroride
I believe I posted one.
Second
Nice
Title wave
I prefer these 20.
Bombera
Good family coaster.
Intro says top 10 but title says top 20
Thanks, I'll get that fixed.
Your review is kinda off a lot of rides that need more credit
They have a lot of good rides.
third
Nice
You usually like top spins, but...
This one doesn't invert.
Knoebles is better then that park even though i might go there someday then i'll fully compare it with Knoebles
I do prefer Knoebels.
Bro there are only like 15 good rides in Lagoon to begin with
I like several of their rides.
Unfortunately, this park is mostly for upper-class type people, that's why it was built where it is. Also, foods & rides are over price + had to pay for parking too! 🤔🤨😠
I wish it were cheaper, but they clearly pull good numbers.
I HATE Jet Star 2 with a passion. It’s one of the few rides I can’t stand at the park.
I like it. But I prefer the other coasters.
@@CanobieCoaster May I tell you some of my favorite rides at Lagoon?
Honestly lagoon kinda sucks, but it’s the only amusement park in Utah so there’s nowhere else to go
I really like the park myself.
This park needs to be shut down due to poor treatment of animals.
I don't think the park should close, but I wouldn't be opposed to the animals leaving.
THE WOODEN HUNDRED YEAR ROLLER COASTER KILLED A 13 year old little girl in the 80s , because like most teenagers, she was trying to stand and raise her hands. This ride should’ve been shut down a long time ago. It’s a death trap if you try to sit up and put your hands up, I cannot believe they still have this right operating when it has killed a little girl.
All the reports I saw was that she stood up, which was against the rules. It's tragic what happened.
