The last hang time barrel rolls on Cannibal are one of its best features! I love just going like a limp doll and letting the arms hang loose. Also worth mentioning is that those rolls are done over pools of water, then you rush past the waterfalls coming from them and get the spray. Last doing Cannibal at sunset is AMAZING!!! Coming out to the drop during a summer evening with the sky burning with color and taking in that view just before rushing down is unforgettable. Kudos to Lagoon for making sure it faced west to get that into the experience.

My hometown park!!! My thoughts on the video.. The bat is TERRIBLE XD You're absolutely right. Roller Coaster is one of the most classic feeling coasters I've ever ridden, I've yet to ride with the new cars and queue though! Like you said, I probably would have had colossus higher, but that was also my first real coaster so it's higher for me. Overall, you nailed it and I'm glad you such high praises for our "little" park.

The wooden rollercoaster was a much better and a lot scarier back when it had the classic bench seat and a simple fold down bar. As a child I remember thinking I was gonna fly out every time the coaster changed trajectory. Sadly the seats were changed and lap bars were added to make it safer shortly after a young lady fell/jumped out and died, back in the late 80's if I remember correctly.

Holy cow I didn't realize that drop was 208 feet that's nuts!

If I remember right, Bombora was sort of a proof of concept before trying to build Cannibal in house. So I'm not surprised it's not very ambitious. But it is a smooth ride, which I find really nice. I was talking to someone recently who didn't find Cannibal very impressive/intense. She didn't believe me when I told her it was one of the steepest drops in the world and other fun facts. She probably thought I was weird for knowing so much about it.

Just got back from trip. Lagoon was part of it and the coasters are great. Clean family atmosphere. It was cool riding Jet Star 2 as it was that exact same coaster I rode as a 10 year old at the world's fair in '74. They take great care of their coasters there at Lagoon. So cool that they keep adding to the list of rides.

It's nice to see a small regional park that is doing well and is well loved. It makes me miss my childhood in the 70s and 80s before the mega corporations took over most of the big parks. I sincerely hope that the lower cost of the new RMC coasters will help create a Renaissance of this type of park.

Ayyy, an Airtime Thrills video! I love every single one of your uploads, man. 👍

I always enjoy the spider the most. The spinning seats seem to ease the 'jerkiness' of the turns compared to other coasters. Just be sure to go in the morning though cause it always seems to be broken down in the afternoon.

Awesome video, and great list I totally agree with your ranking, Cannibal is absolutely a number one coaster and certainly one of my favorites at the park!!!

For me: #1 Cannibal (seriously a 10/10 coaster imo. EVERYTHING about it is great; the elevator lift, the RIDICULOUS drop, the inversions, the lagoon roll, love that its called that, the helixes, ALL phenomenal) #2 Colossus (I get that some may find it boring, but those nearly perfectly circular loops are SUPER intense) #3 Wicked (criminally underrated imo. The launch isn't great, but the top hat and zero g roll are fantastic elements. I know a ton people hate the restraints, but they've honestly never bothered me) #4 Roller Coaster (a perfect woodie, especially for it's age. Reminds me a lot of Comet at Hersheypark) #5 Jet Star 2 (probably the most suprisingly intense coaster I've been on. Those low to the ground turns are insane) #6 Spider (it's good for what it is, but I personally don't care much for spinning coasters) #7 Bombora (a fantastic family coaster, also the first roller coaster my Daughter ever went on 😀) #8 Wild Mouse (I've been on it several times, and I just don't see it as being anything special compared to other wild mouses) #9 The Bat (I've been on it once and that was enough, plus it always has like an hour line for some reason) #10 Puff (I've actually never been on it tbh) I'm soooooooo grateful that you've bothered to give Lagoon the attention it deserves btw. It may be the single most underrated amusement park in the US.

I Adore this park! It's definitely how I developed a love for coasters. And it's so beautiful with all the trees and birds, plus the lagoon itself!

Great list! I can’t wait to go there someday

Cannibal being my first costar to invert, it has a special place it my heart. Thank you so much for reviewing this park.

Cannibal is one of my personal favorite rides considering it's a hometown ride for me and the fact that it is built in-house is insane. When I watched this video for the first time I was proud to know my hometown park held a record.

I remember when Lagoon started building Cannibal and driving south bound on the interstate and just seeing that tower. Everyone I knew was talking about it, we saw the tower go up and since it was in-house, here in the empty quarter nobody could find something out. So the Coaster opened and right at the start of summer my buddy and I went, first day, did not disappoint it was nuts.

Once there was a creature called the wicked bat. Also known as Puff or colossus, He is known for being like a very wild mouse. He is a cannibal which causes him to go for a roller coaster of emotions. And he lives in the small area called bombora which was as small as a spider. He was deemed the title of the second jet star.

Thank you for the shout out! I wasn't expecting to see that.

I've gone to Lagoon 3 times so far since they reopened this year to reride all of the rides (except Jet Star 2 cause it's not a social distance friendly ride). I agree with most of your list, completely forgot how bad of a coaster the Bat was. This park has tons of room for expansion and hopefully another thrill coaster will be on the way soon! Though due to their recent tendency to make coasters inhouse (Much of Primordial was designed inhouse too), not sure if we'll get a major manufacturer to build something out here soon. That said, Cannibal is one of my all time favorite coasters, so if they keep this up, I don't think I'll have much room to complain.

I went last fall here are my rankings: 1. Cannibal (My #15 Overall) 2. Colossus the Fire Dragon- Really enjoy this a lot 3. Wicked 4. Roller Coaster 5. Spider 6. Jet Star (Yes I had the unusual odd experience of riding with a stranger. And I was in front at 6'1". Hey at least I was in the front car) 7. Wild Mouse- Didn't like it nearly as much as you but it wasn't bad 8. Bombora 9. Little Puff (Didn't ride it but I would put it ahead of.....) 10. Bat- Just as bad as the ones at Carowinds and King Island.

I just went on Monday and primordials mountain is lookin real good!

I remember the feeling I had while driving down the highway and seeing cannibal for the first time. It makes the rocket launch and wicked look tiny in comparison. I write it as soon as I got there cause the lines always well over an hour. Absolutely insane. Miracle I didn’t lose my phone on it.

Great ranking. I think I’d really enjoy Cannibal and Roller Coaster, both look really awesome!

Everyone: I wanna go to lagoon Me: still vibing to the theme song

Born and raised in Utah, I have spent every summer of my 48 years with at least 1 trip to Lagoon. It is very different than it was when I was a child. I love seeing it grow over the years. I have attended several family parties and even work parties at Lagoon. Thank you for creating this video!

Thank you for saying Bombora. I saw a POV of it once and loved it but I forgot the name forever and it was driving me crazy.

Definitely do more of these videos

Yay early! Btw keep up the great work!

Been to lagoon so many times, as it's the only park somewhat near where I am. This list is 100% accurate, especially on the bat. The rides there are fantastic, especially considering it's not one of the bigger/well-known parks. An added bonus is that the lines aren't super long (especially if you go on sunday)

you can't stop watching lagoon videos when you are going to lagoon in a few days

I have family that lives in western Montana, so a friend and I did a Silverwood/Lagoon trip, shortly after Stunt Pilot opened. I was mostly disappointed with Silverwood, but once we got to Lagoon, Cannibal instantly became my number 1. Made the entire trip worth it.

I live here so seeing a top ten of my favorite park is awesome

I'm out of roller coasters right now but I love your videos

Being a Utahn, I went to lagoon a lot. I remember riding the "roller coaster" one night when the brakes on the hill failed. It was the last run of the coaster that nigh as it was closed for inspection. Loved the speed we got though

Born here in Utah 62 years ago, my first ride on the "White Roller Coaster" was in 1968. Bought my first ever season pass this March and now go 2-3 times a week. As a "local", I never really gave Lagoon too much attention, but this year has sparked me! Being a bit selfish here, I think social media might bring in too many folks to MY amusement park!!

Go there every year and love it!

I go to lagoon just about every year early in the spring; you hop on every ride right away on a Sunday. But the shame is I haven’t tried the cannibal yet. I had my son in early 2016 and I’ve just been doing the kid rides with him when we go and have yet to ride that monster. I’m gonna do it this spring; you’ve inspired me 😂

Good to see some love for Lagoon. I'm a Utah native and couldn't agree more with the list

I love your videos! Notifications on!

Just watching the rollercoasters made my hands sweaty and gave me butterflies

Lagoon has been my home park since i was a kid, and it's seriously been improving almost the entire time i've grown up in the Utah valley. Fun park for all age groups, 2 very cool dark ride haunted houses, and a really neat Pioneer Village section if you want to explore the rich history of the park itself. Seriously, definitely don't overlook Lagoon if you're passing through and looking for something to do with friends or family.

Took the 9 hour drive from NorCal over there a couple weeks ago for the first time. Sadly jet star was closed for social distancing but I’ll for sure go back one day the park was great!

Just got back from lagoon.. rode cannibal for the first time and man.. it’s was a blast. I already miss it

Hey that's my home park! I live in Utah and it's so nice to go to Lagoon every now and then and have a whole new experience on the rides... haven't been in 5 years but it's worth a trip there! my favorite coaster is the Cannibal and then the Wicked

I'd love to ride that 99 y/o coaster. I'm a huge fan of vintage coasters. Speaking of side friction coasters, Lakemont Park in Altoona PA has one. It's called "Leap the Dips" and it's a blast to ride.

I’m glad you said that about the wild mouse. I also thought it was way more forceful than the other Mauerer wild mice. As for rankings, Colossus ranks #2 for me, but I love intensity.

Fun fact about Collossus: it moves. Like, they had to put the entire coaster on massive cinderblocks because the high speed and impact of the train is enough to make the whole ride move side to side.

I love jet star! Its so special! Its so historic and I hope Lagoon keeps it going forever!

AWESOME!!!

In house coasters seem to have a good chance of being decent. Probably because the price is way lower for doing it yourself so you can just have some insane design drawn up and make it yourself.

Been putting this park off for a long time. I live about 20 mintues away, being from California I was spoiled with the big 3. So I've been worried this park would not live up to my expectations. So time to plan a family trip!

I was 10 years old when Colossus came to Lagoon. So many good memories.

My mom grew up in this area so she worked there from around the ages of 14-17. First time I went was around 8. Hands down one of the greatest amusement parks out there. Wicked is my personal favorite. But the og roller coaster is fun because of how it shakes when your riding it.

I go to lagoon every year and it's always amazing! the one thing that I have to complain about is that my dad is a big guy and he just stopped coming with us because there's nothing for him to do because there's no accommodations for things like that. But my favorite part is when you're on cannibal when you're upside down over the small rock thing is seeing all the sunglasses, phones, wallets etc. 😂

1. Cannibal 2. Primordial 3. Wicked 4. Colossus the Fire Dragon 5. Spider 6. Roller Coaster 7. Bombora 8. Jet Star 2 9. The Bat 10. Wild Mouse 11. Puff the Fire Dragon

Have you been to oaks park or Silverwood? If so could you at least do a video on Silverwood. I used to go to lagoon every year and drove 13 hours to get there. Lagoon was not the only reason i went to Utah. I lived kinda close to oaks park and now I'm near Silverwood. One last thing. I loathe lap bars as they make me feel very insecure and unsafe. Could you explain why you like the feeling of flying off the coaster? Aka ejector airtime. I prefer shoulder restraints and being pined to the point of pain (almost) as I feel very secure.

RMC Cannibal

I've lived in Utah for ALMOST my entire 10 years of life. Lagoon has been the ONLY roller-coaster park here, plus other attractions!! I'm going there for my birthday (Apr 1st) when they open in may. (Edit) I AM SO DUMB IM GOIN MARCH 21ST
