- NEW! Primoridal Ride is an outdoor & indoor roller coaster with an interactive 3D blaster dark ride & a vertical Free-fall drop just like in Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Universal's Islands of Adventure.
Primoridial opened on September 15, 2023 at Lagoon Amusement Park located 17 miles north of Salt Lake City, Utah.
Ride filmed October 15, 2023 at Lagoon Park.

This is one of the most interesting roller coasters I've ever seen. But one thing that always bugs me is 3D dark rides _never_ push graphics nearly enough so the 3D will look dated fast.
I agree they seem older than current gen consoles
@@liamcollinson5695hi
@liamcollinson5695 slightly different operating constraints. There's also the cost of 240Hz screens or projectors for that size. None of which is cheap to the point even Disney doesn't use them. Further they have filmed a stereoscopic image with a monoscopic lense. Which degrades the image as well as blurs it significantly because of the overlapped parallax images. You can't make any solid statement of how it actually looks without seeing the raw mono footage without stereo.
The graphics being lower res also helps it reload every x seconds and resync to the next ride vehicle as it moves through. Keep in mind the system is tracking 8 guns translating across the projection as well as the rotation and pitch of the guns and where each animated moving target is. This is beyond anything your next Gen console can even remotely hope to handle. Which is why it runs on multiple custom PCs. There is also the ride control software that has to monitor all vehicles and maintain separation and let the experience software k ow what to do in case of emergency stops.
It may just look like a "simple stupid projection" to you but what's going on here is extremely complex and involves multiple separate systems of software communicating as well as sensors on the track, vehicles and in the screens. And it has to do it more than a thousand times a day.
The next generation consoles that won't be out till next year or longer do not have the capability to handle any of this.
@@mycroft16 That's awesome. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I haven't been on smugglers run but it seems like that is the one exception where they are really packing the processing power with their graphics. Course they aren't powering 8 guns like you said though.
@@GMoney-B They are also Disney and have more money than God. :D Smuggler's Run is awesome fun. They built it in Unreal Engine since it's essentially a game anyway. They have a custom designed screen outside the cockpit and project onto it at 8k. The controls in the cockpit communicate with the game engine which in turn controls the motion control systems under the vehicle. There are 8 "cockpits" on a rotating ring. Once your in and your ride starts the ring is rotated until the next cockpit aligns with the hallway door and the next group gets on. By the time your ride has finished you have rotated back into place. There's a "bonus" level of flying through asteroids before landing that can happen if the ride needs additional time to load others, and even more b-roll stuff that can happen in case of longer delays. They have 2 rings of 8 cockpits off the common waiting area so they can keep loading pretty rapidly, and the queue area can swallow a TON of people.
Rise of the Resistance is even more insane being 4 different ride systems, 3 of which interact together at the end. Monstrously complex and gave them absolute hell for months after opening. An engineering marvel.
Fun fact: This ride has multiple endings. There's also a slide track that can either drop you forwards or backwards. You can either save Dragnor (dragon) or Astradir (owl) in the ending rooms. These endings are randomized. Pretty dang cool that Lagoon built this in house. This is a state of the art coaster and I am so glad it is in my home park. One other thing to mention, the slide track is unique to this park and the drop tower is apparently one of the tallest in the world in a ride.
I don’t live in Utah now but grew up there. I’m so excited to go back to lagoon! One of the coolest rides I’ve ever seen!
Looks like they took notes from Disney and Universal especially the queue. Queues are important in the build up so make it immersive and themed as well.

I wish Six Flags would take those kind of hints.
@@KettouRyuujin budget is the main issue. They don't have that big of a budget as the two giant ones.
@@gissneric How does a small park like this manage to do it then while Six Flags can’t? It says they spent 40,000,000 on X2.. Universal Orlando Mummy cost $40k, and I’d say many agree Mummy wins production wise. Seems they have the money to do it.
@@tomatosofficial1124Only 40k? Nah more like 4 million. That’s equivalent to £36,000 or about a years salary in the UK. No way the Mummy only cost that.
The fact that this ride was made all IN HOUSE is sto amazing to me. Lagoon knows how to make some great stuff with a lower budget.
That looks really fun. I t would extra amazing if the roller coaster part was before the interactive, then more drops, then interactive again. I am sure more coasters like this will happen now that one exists. Thanks for sharing
This is actually the second one like this, it was inspired by Wonder Mountains Guardian, though, comparing it to Guardian is a massive disservice to this ride I'm not going to lie
frankly interesting attraction. the mix between roller coaster and interactive dark ride is really an excellent idea. too bad we see too much of the technical aspect at certain times (entrance to the dark ride, transition between screens, etc.) this breaks the immersion a bit.
Outside of the first part going into the mountain (before you go into the fog) you can't see anything they don't want you to see when you're actually on the ride, so you really can't make out any details inside the mountain
@@beowolf9480hi
I will give this ride a bit of a pass because it is a rollercoaster instead of a traditional dark ride, but I am SO TIRED of so many modern dark rides using gameplay as a substitution for engaging physical scenes. It's so lazy, repetitive, and uninspired.
Edit: I'm gonna say, so many of u down in these replies have some pathetically low standards for dark rides. You should really be asking more from dark rides when you're paying for expensive tickets and annual passes.
Not me. This ride will be the first ride I ride whenever I come to lagoon
Completely agree. In total, the rollercoaster portions are 26 seconds. The rest is just mindless shooting at screens and it's not engaging at all. Why would anyone want to sit in a car for what amounts to an arcade machine?
@@LordRayken the coaster track and drop track adds some uniqueness, but what happened to using animatronics? The ride has such a cool mountain facade just to be full of fog and screens that are a massive waste of space
@@andynava5144 Exactly. Just like Wonder Mountain
@@LordRayken I'm actually unfamiliar with that ride, but now I have zero interest in it lol.
I intentionally avoided all footage of this before going on it and the shock of being flown backwards AND THAT DROP 10/10 coaster. even if I was awful at the game and the animatronic in line was lowkey terrifying, I’d do it over and over again
Yeah, even pretty basic animatronics can get really expensive really fast. Adding in the level of detail that Disney does is cost prohibitive to any but literally Disney or Universal. But for a literal one-off family run park, this is setting a new bar. And the ending having several outcomes (not just a drop) is also cool, adding re-rideability to it.
As a HUGE animatronic fan even for me she was terrifying, and I absolutely hated the drop track. I said SH** at the top of my lungs.
Appreciate Lagoon's effort!
This looks like a really cool idea, and would definitely be even cooler in the hands of someone with a bigger budget, but does anyone know what the ride capacity is like? Sending just eight people out at a time seems like it would slow the queue down to a crawl.
The queue goes pretty fast when the ride doesn't break down
This ride had a very very large budget
@@theoriginaloaktreehi
@@dawsonhollingsworth3535hi
@@Dylan-nr2ff hello?
I've been on this ride twice now and it is amazing. Twist after the lift hill is exhilarating, the shooting aspect is very fun, they use so much fog that you can't see the ground, going backwards is a surreal experience and the drop is the best part. When you get to the drop section you know it's coming and yet it's still a surprise. I give this ride 5 stars for a incredible experience from the moment you enter the themed queue to the moment you exit to the gift shop. Truly a modern marvel. The ride does glitch sometimes but that's to be expected with new rides. Worth the 2 1/2 hour wait!
Buy the cheapest pair of film 3D glasses you can find. Cut the film out of one side. Maintaining the orientation, and stick it over your camera's lens. The video portions of on-ride videos look a lot better that way.
Great concept combining a rollercoaster with a shooter but if I want to shoot at a screen ill just play a videogame at home (physical shooter rides are way better).
This is like a mix of all my favorite Disney type rides. So cool!!!
This coaster looks amazing. I've never seen anything like this.
I waited to watch any videos, went on it today finally. It blew my mind, it was incredible and not at all what i expected. I live here and watched the thing being built for years, finally getting to go on it was crazy
ABSOLUTELY***ING SWEET!!! Two of my favorite loves, video games and coasters, merged into one! How dare they not make this a while ago when I was a teen!!!!
Is this another Lagoon in house project? If so this is seriously impressive
It is another in house coaster
Lagoon is always doing interesting stuff. They have a lot of land to work with. Funny enough i believe the two classic dark rides are the best parts of the park.
So does everyone who goes. Terroride and Dracula's Castle are classic dark rides. Both were designed by Bill Tracy, a literal legend in dark ride design. Both are well above average for your standard amusement 'horror" dark rides.
@@mycroft16 exactly why I love them!
I love those two!
@mycroft16 Terror Ride was actually redone in 2017 in House by the park, and got all new scenes and effects, and I think they did a great job with it. They kept the classic cheesy feel along with some scary bits as well
This is better than anything Disney has built in 10 years.
The wait must be hours for this.
It is this ride is amazing! I literally busted after going on it
@@braydensmit8037.
I’ve been in this ride twice and I absolutely love it
I"vê benn in This Ride twice and l absolutely Love It
This ride looks absolutely amazing, better then I even expected
So... wait 3 hours go down a hill shoot some things.... enjoy your day.. Coaster should of been 'a lot' longer / indoor inversion or 2 / although I am a fanboy of 3D mix that inbetween more coaster elements.
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
I like the ride system and the theming. The "interactive part" with shooting on screens is boring and kills the atmosphere. The surprise with the drop track and the various endings are clever.
There is a Drop Track and a Slide Track (The First).
@sidvernon6343 Mission Ferrari has a slide track. It's definitely not the first.
@@Conman19 I got a great view of northern Germany
Best ride at lagoon in my opinion
That free fall drop at the end of the ride reminds me of Verbolten at Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia.
It looks really fun, but I think once it dropped it should have continued as a roller coaster and not just a "blank stare" for the end.🤦🏾♀️
looks amazing. however the empty land in front of the mountain kinda kills the whole aestethics from the ride in my opinion. also the cars look kinda dated when it comes to their design
That's the employee lot at the moment. Room to grow in the future. They don't really have a need to theme it all out to the hilt.
So basically if Toy Story Mania in Disneyland and The Spider in Lagoon had a baby. Nice.
There is no free spinning.
so kinda like the Toy Story one in DCA, but faster and with a slight dip
are you being for real
I honestly Wished that Escape from Gringotts got a similar treatment like Primodial like Using Magic Wands to defeat death eaters and Voldemort would’ve been so cooler than looking a screens the whole time! Hopefully they can make the Battle of the Ministry ride not only an elevator scoop ride but also an interactive dark ride to make guests feel immersed into the world of Harry Potter/using Interactive Magic Wands to defeat Death Eaters/Dolores Umbridge!
Rode it yesterday... Meh 😕 If anything it'll thin out the line for Cannibal and the other real coasters.
This is the longest line at the park currently. None of the other lines even come close to the near 2-3 hour wait you do for Primordial. It's worth the wait in my opinion personally. Good for if you want to ride Cannibal or Wicked or anything like that multiple times during the day.
Re ride it bruh
Soooo cool. I want to do it. Has the same drop as motorcycle harry potter orlando
シューティングとジェットコースターが組み合わされているアトラクションは初めて見ました！とっても面白そう☺️
It was amazing. I didn't like breathing in the the smoke and fog cuz it tasted like candy for some reason and I don't like the Sweet taste of it. Me and my brother waited almost 2 hours to get into it but it was worth the wait. Love the random drop that they gave you at the back. You just go backwards and it's amazing. Lagoon was cool too. I went on cannibal almost 60 times well 15 technically but someone said I went on it 60 times that day. I just love the ride but primordial amazing
I remember when I was there in 2019 and it was still under construction. My old house my family moved out of when I was a year old was close to the park
Wait, does this ride have multiple endings??
someone in the comments said that yes, it does!
@@kirammakio Last time I saw an onride it ended not with a drop but with a reverse final stretch of track.
@@remconet I personally would prefer that version! I saw someone say that you can either save the dragon or the owl at the end and there are two different ways the ride ends track wise. They're supposedly randomized. It's pretty cool
@@kirammakiothanks for quoting me lol. But yes you're right. You can either save the dragon Dragonor or the owl Astradir. But which legendary Guardian you save is not dependent on the track ending. You can get one of 3 track endings; a drop track, or something that is unique to Lagoon, a slide track. Your vehicle will either tip and slide forwards or tilt and slide backwards. This ride is very impressive due to the fact that Lagoon built this in house.
@@theoriginaloaktree i didn’t mean to offend if i did, i definitely didn’t mean to claim that info as my own! honestly it’s a really cool ride and they put so much work into it! thank you very much for the information on it :)
Cowabunga! Great idea this 🐢🍕👍
Ahh yes! Some good old primordial!
Utah needs another theme/amusement park to give Lagoon some competition. Their prices are RIDICULOUS!
Looks to be inspired by one of the levels from super Mario sunshine.
Looks like a really cool experience but I didn't see any type of vertical drop and the overall height seems just average. Great for young kids and families but not so great for a die hard coaster enthusiast!
OMG! It reminds me of Gringotts but with shooting. I guess I have a reason to go Lagoon again.
I think donkey Kong ride is going to be epic
Cool ride! The voice of the animation sounds like Heckle Fish from WhyFiles, lol.
Do you like it at least hopefully?
Very impressive. Takes hybrid to a new level.
so its just a copy of canadas wonderland ride.
6 endings + backwards section and more roller coaster
this ride is cool i'd might ride this if it doesn't go upside down .
it does not
They actually finished it? Lets see if it was worth the wait and lying to ppl in order to get them to purchase season passes..
Even Disney misses opening dates at times. Even large pure coasters are complex. But throw multiple things together and the complexity scales exponentially rather than linearly. They weren't lying so much as being overly optimistic. It took them a lot longer than they thought to get it all built and working.
@@mycroft16Plus, Covid happened, and I'm sure that didn't help speed things along.
That's really cool.
Rollercoaster game with 3D glasses.
Amazing ride
Wow. Here I stumbled upon this video, being totally blown away and thinking it must be in some european country with the weird character theming and hap hazard storyline, then I hear at the end the narrator mentions lagoon. I go up to utah often to visit family and I had no idea they built another one let alone this crazy awesome ride.
Wow, imagine Universal Studios brought this ability to some of the current Harry Potter rides?
TH-cam Dean Odle EU The Great Creation Debate Of 2023!!! :)
wow didn't not see that end coming
The soundtrack they use in the coaster when the spiders come out is the same soundtrack called "Meeting Aragog" from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
No it is an original soundtrack, and I'm not actually sure who composed the music. I'll have to ask an employee next time I go.
@@theoriginaloaktreeTrioTech
@@sidvernon6343 thanks
This was so dang fun!! Even though we had to stand in line for 2 hours, it’s full of stuff I’ve never experienced on a ride.
I had to wait a hour in his line,then we left the line because the ride wasn’t working. A few hours later I also saw this ride stop
This would be sick if it was guardians of galaxy or starwars themed
This is seriously such an amazing and cool roller coaster
Love this ride even though I haven’t been on it myself and also love all the smoke effects
Good idea, bad execution
I just went on this ride for the first time today! I waited for three hours in the queue but it was worth it!! It was an amazing ride I enjoyed it and I would go on it again!
I loved this ride. I went on it yesterday when we went to utah for my birthday. It was so fun we went on it twice.
I think lagoon needs to make better use of the audio and tell a story as you are going through.
The Entire Preshow accomplishes this quite well.
@sidvernon6343 it's so loud in the pre-show area that I couldn't hear what was being said. Can you help us better understand the theme/story, please?
The audio and story couldn’t have been better, it’s the best
@@Conman19 Did Steven do his math correctly?
@@Conman19there a sign in the entrance for the storyline
For a ride, this looks neat. For a roller coaster... This looks lame. Can't wait to ride it myself.
It's barely a coaster. There are less than 30 seconds of coaster elements.
@@Conman19it'd supposed to be a family Coaster/dark ride. It's Not supposed to be completely Roller Coaster based.
@mrknowhere6457 I know what the ride is. But Lagoon is also advertising it as a coaster, so that's what it's supposed to be according to Lagoon.
@@Conman19 Lol, Connor h still can’t figure out to type on his keyboard and press reply, he needs help.
@Jones.13 because I've been on vacation and don't need to reply to all your nonsense comments. Oh yeah, I also rode on yet another drop track coaster on this trip in Namazu at Vulcania in France. It was definitely a fun little coaster. The little bounce before the drop was fun and very unexpected. I also loved how close to the ground it was for almost the whole ride. It's also another family coaster that I thoroughly enjoyed. Because again not everything is about thril.
insane how this ride has 8 different endings lol
It is actually 6 Endings. There are 8 Interactive Gaming Screens.
1- Slide Track Forwards (Owl)
2- Slide Track Backwards (Owl)
3- Slide Track Forwards (Dragon)
4- Slide Track Backwards (Dragon)
5- Drop Track (Owl)
6- Drop Track (Dragon)
The fact the end of this attraction can be randomised is crazy and makes it more insane.
The tiger/cat goddess animatronic is adorable!
Also how intense is the vertical drop track?
Finally a Roller Coaster for Gamers. Can we take our Pizza and Drinks on it?😆 🤣 lol.
Schießen finde ich immer doof!
okay, looking at different drop tracks, you are for so long on this one, I love it so much
I don’t want to see any haters trashing on this ride, screw them. Primordial is amazing and really epic
Its like they had 2 different companies design it and they ran out of money as soon as it went into the mountain...Its like they totally forgot its a a coaster on the 2nd half. Video screens and oh look more video screens the ride.
This is a really good ride! But darn it those spiders in the first shoot out looked like the Face Huggers from the Alien franchise.
I'll grant 10 bonus points to whoever shoots this through one side of the polarized glasses.

There is so much I want to say. I could give a detailed point by point analysis of every single thing that is wrong with this. But I don’t have the time or energy. So I will simply say:
Nope. Try again.
So much this! Such a disappointment. I'm sad they even call this a coaster.
@@Conman19 Nah bro your messed up, completely disagree this ride is the second best coaster at lagoon and I don’t care what you say
@UtahandArizona, when you've ridden over 200 coasters and any like this, then you'll know. It can barely even be called a coaster. There's less than 30 seconds of coaster elements on a 4 minute ride.
@@Conman19 it’s called a roller coaster, plus it’s almost the best coaster at lagoon in my opinion
@@Conman19Considering the things members of ACE, who had ridden MORE THAN 200 Coasters were saying, during their Fall Conference, you are in the minority.

Awesome ride

That ride is so amazing!
The idea was there but the execution was terrible
Am I really the first guy to see this video😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤
You or the other one that said first are first 😂🎉
Wow!.. Very interesting.. But they should have came up with a better theme. Something maybe alien/spaceship type thing.. 👍
I hate the spiders.
It looks amazing.
Very beautiful 🌸👍🌸
I need to get to lagoon one of these days
Been on it 5 times just can't get bored of it
I wanna go to Lagoon so bad
Is it made by Schwarzkopf
No it’s built in house by lagoon
No built in house with some help by Art engineering but there are two Schwarzkopf coasters there
Rollercoasters kills ....no thanks
lame comment kills …no thanks
Great content. The ride looks like one similar in Branson, which they called Bigfoot 4D adventure. Extremely cheesy and cash-grab-like vibe.
Not at all actually.
I actually feel they're very similar.
