I have gone on literally every ride in this park. This park is my childhood.
Also Cannibal is 10/10
I've gone every year ever since I was born
+Mandy me too every. Year on my b-day ❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💚💚💚💙💙💙💜💜💜
I go every year its a
tradition
Shigemi Harvey haven't been on the cannibal yet so how is it
Taylor Bruner same ♡
I grew up going to this park. From the mid 60's on, I have always loved going to Lagoon. So much history not mentioned in this video, like some of the chart topping music acts that performed there in the past are definitely worth mentioning. While I was too young to remember them, I have heard of so many amazing concerts that were seen at Lagoon. Hendrix, anyone?
I still remember when the rock tunnels inside Dracula's Castle rotated. There was also the original fun house (right next to the Terror Ride) that had large slides, a spinning disc, rotating barrel, "Mexican Hat" and the initial obstacle course that had air blasts from below. The penny arcade in the 70's was incredible. Anyone else remember the old pool? Not Lagoon-a-Beach, it was a huge swimming pool.
While I miss the old, I am so glad to see the place I spent so much time, still thriving and making others happy.
Lagoon has always been my “home” theme park despite growing up more 2.5 hours away. Since the age of 26, I moved to a major city that has two theme parks. One being a Six Flags. Naturally I’ve been to both several times. We purchase season passes to the Six Flag Park nearly every year. On top of that, thanks work obligations, I travel from coast to coast, and everywhere in between, year round. If there is an amusement park within a couple of hours of me, I try to stay a couple of extra days. I can usually get at least one of my colleagues to join me. In all honesty, there has only been one park that compares to Lagoon and that’s LEGOland in San Diego. Universal Studios was up there too. But the Disney parks, the two parks within 30 minutes of me... none of them come close to the Lagoon experience. And that includes parks with an integrated theme hotel. My name is first on the list when it comes to SLC assignments. With an hour’s deviation, when traveling home, I can easily work Lagoon into my plans. My colleagues never believe me when tell theme that their is a better place than where we are. I love proving them wrong. Unfortunately, living up to the Lagoon experience is difficult task. If you can, go!
You guys forgot about frightmares
I've been going to Lagoon since I was like 2 or 3. Love it!
I live so close, that I go all the time. Lagoon is the best.
Nice, I have not been in 14 years, wana go wana go wana go, my grandpa ran the rollercoaster for over 30 years and sold property to Lagoon for Pioneer Village, so every week visiting grandma and grandpa we would sneak under the fence and go to Lagoon as kids for hours on end, remember all the games? can I borrow your residential parking pass when I go to frightmares? LOL, just kidding.
Lagoon has a very special place in my heart. Not only did I grow up go here every year I also worked for Lagoon for 3 seasons. In 1994, 1997, and 2000. I worked in foods my first season (94). Then I worked in Rides. I have had the best memories working for Lagoon. I operated the following rides; Tidal Wave, Speedway Sr. (now gone), Speedway Jr., Helicopters, Baby Boats, Bulgy the whale, Terroride, Dracula's Castle, Sky Coaster, Scaliwags, Musik Express, and Rock O Plane. I remember staying late nights after closing to help clean the water trough of Puff, and Baby Boats. I also would assist in cleaning Roller Coaster as well as the beloved Carousel. It was an unforgettable time. I still have my name tag to this day along with my last uniform shirt.
i remember as a child riding ROLOPLANE which was by ROCKOPLANE! i can'e seem to find any photos or history of that ride in the park! i'm 54 yrs old now ! I remember riding that ride in the mid 70's ! maybe you may know where i can find pictures of that ride in the park! thanks!!
@@grudgesgalore8666 Sorry for late reply. To answer your question: There is a website and a UA-cam channel called Lagoon History Project. It has photos and videos of past and present attractions. I hope that helps.
One of the best video's I have seen done about my home park!
i'm 54 i was born in UTAH! there was a ride in the 70's that i rode for the 1st time ever at LAGOON! it was called ROLOPLANE it was near where ROCKOPLANE is !! i believe there is a smoking place to smoke cigarettes there where the ride stood!!! i can't seem to find any history about that ride being in the park! i remember it being there!! i rode that ride! maybe you can help me find history about that ride being at LAGOON! thanks!!!
I have so many good memories here. I remember seeing The Monkees here in 85 on their 20th anniversary tour
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!
Also congrats on getting the Peacocks on there.
I miss the Fun House. So very glad they've kept the dark rides at Lagoon (Dracula's Castle and Terror Ride). So classic. Dark rides are a dying attraction. I love the fact that they're keeping them alive.
I like how the changed terroride, yet I hate it. it's a very historical ride and they butchered it. yet, it is way cooler. dracula's castle is still here for a visit to a old dark ride, although the toke out the dragon and put in the gorilla from terroride a long time ago, which was then transfered to physco dave's junkyard during frightmares. The funhouse of fear at frightmares is supposed to be the fun house coming back but demented
Fantastic short documentary guys! I'd love to see more of these caliber of documentaries on theme/amusement parks.
Funny thing is I work there as a ride operator and i love it you get to meet a lot of great people.
my uncles family owns intermountain lift, the company who made the steel for canibal and and a few other rides
Well your uncle is cooler than you lol
That’s actually kinda cool!
My grandma and her welding students at weber basin job corps worked on wicked 😁
@@katelynlivingston962 wicked is my favorite roller coaster
I love Lagoon, gone there nearly every year since I was child. Haven't been for a couple of years though, definitely need to make it a point to go back soon.
I'd recommend spending a day there if you ever take a trip to Northern Utah.
i live in ogden now sence last year,i just got back from lagoon last night. ive been to that park 6 times this year with a sesson pass and a parking pass love lagoon never gets old
I live in Utah, near SLC (basically Mormon capital but it isn't as bad as you would think) and this always has been my go-to theme park. I've been here almost every year for my whole life with family and friends and it's pretty fuckin' neat. My parents and grandparents used to go here as kids as well way back when. Lots of memories here, it's definitely a hidden gem. It doesn't have the most thrilling rides in the world but goddamn if Cannibal isn't stepping it up a notch.
By the way, this park looks amazing at night (Colossus, Lagoon-a-Beach, Wicked and a few other places look really cool), shame there isn't much night footage on the internet.
California movers and 'free thinking' millennials are transforming SLC, it is really not the same LDS city it once was. Provo on the other hand... lol
@@calibratheband too true, Provo stays the same 😂
nice, i always thought Mormon capital too, but I guess only 20 to 25 percent of the population is LDS, doesn't seem right to me, but look it up. ;-) p.s. what is Cannibal?
I know I’m biased considering my mom ignored the “don’t ride while pregnant” rule and oddly enough colossus fire dragon is still one of my favorites, been riding since before birth and all. But all in all Lagoon is a great park, they mix the classic with the new trying to have the best of both worlds and succeeding as far as I can tell. My kids love the train and family area. If you’re passing through it’s definitely worth spending a day.
I literally live like 2-3 minutes away from Lagoon! I saw the cannibal get built from my school window. I have ridden on every single roller coaster. I would most defiantly go to Lagoon if you want to have a good time!👍🏻
This has been the GO TO amusement park from being a young child up until now as an adult. Easily one of my FAVORITES by far!!
I just got through watching this video about 30 times and by the way, very well done and classic too.
and I always drink Bud Light in the can when I watch it. Because its the only BEER you can get in your cooler. The BEER GARDEN was just added in 2019 so now LAGOON has BEER!
such an awesome park I went here when I lived in Salt Lake City back in 1999
I'm glad you guys like Lagoon Amusement Park
I love Lagoon! Good memories there with my family growing up. I miss the Fun House they had up until the late 90's and early 2000's. Cool video
Went for my birthday and bounced back last year, going once again this year!
Wonderfull short movie! BRAVO!!
I LOVED this place back in the day...I NEED to go again!!!
You didn't mention Lagoon-a-Beach
+Madison Nelson Ran out of time in order to get that to fit in. We will be revisiting the park and talking about Lagoon a beach next year. - B
Madison Nelson do you like the ride's there cause I don't like the ride's at all from Staci Lynn liddiard...
I live about an hour away from there and it is so fun and the historic part is just awe inspiring
I live an hour away too and I totally agree
+Tyler Orozco me too I live in Provo
Fantastic video!
Never heard of this park. Beautiful!
If you haven’t it is in Farmington Utah it is one of the best amusement parks you need to go
It is the best. You get to ride the most rides and experience the most variety of rides. You never have to wait too long. This park sucks you in with its landscaping alone. If I couldn’t ride the roller coasters, it would be worth the fee just to walk around.
no parks have that ride lagoon needs to bring it back on of my faves as a kid!
James George What ride?
I literally grew up going to lagoon beginning in the late 60's. I can still smell the petunias on the midway. I loved being there at night when it cooled down and everything was lit up. Mom and dad would pull to the front,we would get our all day, all ride pass, and they would cut us kids loose until around 9 or 10 pm. They would say, "Meet back up at the dime toss by the bathrooms by such and such time"....
you make lagoon looks awesome I love lagoon
Great video again, I really liked the Fun House attraction when I was a kid, now its closed. I've been on all the adult rides and Lagoona Beach too.
But The Cannibal is my favorite ride. To date I've rode I over 102 times. to 2018
If you come here avoid Saturdays and Friday nights too busy.
This is what you call "Purely Amazing! " I would love to visit this park. So much history, and plenty of fun!
yes it is a very fun amusement park
+Kaydee Stevens I just want to ride Cannibal! I know it's a great ride.
ThemeParkJunkie51290 Yes I love the cannibal it's my favorite ride!
i love it
Wow! glad I came upon this video! I haven't been to Lagoon since the '60's (young teenager then!) Great place! Thanks for dredging up fond memories! (BTW do they still have the "hand cranked "railroad"?? Thanks again!
I live like ten minutes away from it.
I got one of my first kisses in Dracula's Castle! Circa 1974! I think it was it's first year open.
Hope to go here one day!
That intro though
Amazing job you deserve a lot more than 60 likes
I was in JR High when The Log Flume opened up, and It was my favorite ride at that time. I remember it and Colossus The Fire Dragon was also new. and In 1975 it was a Lagoon day at my jr high at Union middle School,. Also Lagoon would try to sell pictures of us after riding the Fire Dragoon , wow how time flies . To this day I've ridden Colossus over 900 times. and Cannibal over 200 times.
Although not growing up in the area I visited the LAGOON park twice. Once with my parents & a few years later when visiting friends in Salt Lake City. In remembering the experience I was sorry to learn that the amazing Fun House had to be closed down in the mid 1980‘s. I think it was the best Fun House I ever experienced although the one in Pacific Ocean Park in Los Angeles (or was it Santa Monica?) & one at Jantzen Beach near Portland, Oregon were stiff competition. Neither of those 2 parks exist anymore as far as I know but POP in Santa Monica may still be operational in some way. The best of the 3 for me still was in the LAGOON Park but safety & operational expenses contributed to, its closure so I heard. The building where the Fun House stood is still there, I hear, but is used food services & office space apparently. Many fond memories remain however.
Love taking my kids to Lagoon.
wish you mentioned all of the coasters, but it's a fantastic video!
The lemon pepper corn on the cob is so good! They husk and then grill it in front of you how you like!
I love to see some love for our local amusement park. I love Lagoon. It's not Disney or Busch Gardens, but it's great.
Definitely one of the biggest prides in the state. Can't wait for Primordial to get finished!
I went on tge cannibal twice and it was great, the ride that scared me really bad was tgat big ferris wheel...the wind up at the top was insane!
Colossus is my favorite ride. I rode it 20 times in a row, no joke.
I love this park is the best!!!
This was shot on my bday!!
This is an interesting video, I did not know most of Cannibal was manufactured nearby. I'll be making my first visit to Lagoon in June and I'm looking forward to experiencing the park in its entirety from Cannibal, to the classic Bill Tracy dark rides, to the historic Pioneer Village.
Yep. Lagoon is not the biggest or most thrilling park in the world, but it's absolutely dripping with history and nostalgia. And I eat that kind of stuff up. I've never met an out-of-towner that wasn't pleasantly surprised with the park.
+Jacob Wood count me as one of them. I spent three full days at Lagoon and was pleasantly surprised by this park. I knew of its unique collection of coasters and the two Bill Tracy dark rides but I was not prepared for the level of detail in the Pioneer Village. The Merry-go-round from the Allen Herschell Co was absolutely beautiful and the Roller Coaster (aka White Coaster) was much smoother than I was anticipating given that it is the world's 9th oldest coaster.
I've lived in Utah my whole life and I've been to lagoon like 10 times fav ride right now is bat
I’ve been going to Lagoon since I was a baby. I remember doing all of the kid rides, and now I’m doing all of the big kid rides lmao
love Lagoon, i live in salt lake like 45min away. when i was younger my friends and i would ride the bus up to the park and spend all day there. they had a summer pass for like 70 bucks and we would be there every friday and sometime week days too.good times
+Zachery A. to me, its 5 hours waay. I went this summer, it was awesome!
+Rainbow Wings, what city do you live in?
Idaho, the land of the free!!
Looks like an awesome place to go on a date :D
+Zlyzer
Trust me, it is.
Where is the new documentary? I really want the new one you guys promised!
Hey thanks for asking. I am no longer releasing these with In The Loop. I have gone on to make a few more on some rides and attractions. Also www.slidersofghosttown.com AND I have a big one coming soon.

The video was incredibly well done! What camera was it shot on? Looks like maybe a GH5?
iPhone 3s
That ride cannibal! OMG i want to go on it so bad!!
Your profile picture describes your face when you see cannibal
I went on it last season. It was so much fun.
+Frodo7241
I've been on it five times
its worth it
trust me im a local
I've been There A few Times and My favorite rides are colossus wicked and the one and only cannible but out of all three of them I'd say colossus
when i was in elementary i loved lagoons band i was in band also
no talk of the funhouse too much of lagoons history left out its sad because i LOVE lagoon
This is just a brief history. Our time was limited and way to much to talk about. Sorry we couldn't cover your favorite memories. - B
I once bought a season pass and burned myself out of ever coming here ever again. I rode every ride in this park atleast twice, some specific rides in the hundreds. I miss being in 8th grade
I love going to lagoon 😁😁😀
My favorite ride at lagoon is Cannibal
I’ve been going there every year
This isy favorite psrk in America
Dracula's castle is about my 2nd favorite it doesn't scare me it's just EXTREMELY LOUD! I have to plug my ears lol! We always go on it first since it's right by the entrance can't wait to go on it when it opens back up in April! :D
When he started talking about Cannibal, I thought he said, "2015 welcomes Canada." They knew about Canada all along but told us it simply didn't exist.
When will the universal Hollywood video be posted?
Cannibal is the best roller coaster ive ever been on, and im a bit of a junky. a must ride
They should get an RMC
Do they have any Arrow rides. If not I'm surprised because Arrow was from Utah.
Name The Log Flume is the only ride from Arrow at Lagoon, but was originally from a park out in Washington I think it was. But interestingly enough, Dal Freeman who designed Wicked, Bombora, and Cannibal has been working with Lagoon since the 90's once he left Arrow, so the park still has some extreme ties to the company that way.
Not first!
Muisk express ride favorite
Ive been her every year on my b-day since i was 4
this is the same place that appears in the film "Carnival of souls" when it was abandoned ,in 1962 ?
No it isnt
I love this amusement park it's my favorite so far! My favorite ride of course is Canibal!
So is MINE! 😀😉
My fav is the bat 😁
same
I know so cool!!! :D
He didn’t comment about the Lagoon Zoo that you kind of, sort of see while riding the train. I wonder why he didn’t comment about those animals.
I love that place
Who here has a season pass to lagoon for this year? I love to go to lagoon every year
The Terror Ride looks like the Haunted Mansion now. Albeit a little more extreme.
I hope someday Lagoon can upgrade the band organ at the Carousel so they can get the drums workin on that thing...
I love lagoon I buy a season pass every year
what about the lagoon band also not mentioned yes every1 lagoon has thier own band
For those that want to come, a tip: since Utah is heavily populated by Mormons you can take advantage of this and go on a Sunday. Especially if you time your trip to come during the off season with Frightmares. They have the place all painted up for Halloween and you can avoid dealing with long lines. I went last year and while I still had to wait to get on the Cannibal, it was the span of one ride before I got to go on around roughly 1 pm where you'd think the line would be out of the park by then.
also a movie seen was filmed there in the luck of the irish
And also Lagoon is basically one of the granddaddies of modern video gaming. Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari found his feet after graduating from the University of Utah by working in Lagoon. So Lagoon has had its fingers in many entertainment venues.
have been on every single ride on this park and im 9 years old
and i went on cannibal and i only gone on front seat the best ride ever so crazy!
I love the new ride cannibal I can't wait to ride it again me and my god daughter is going on Saturday and mybe on Sunday also ad my be Monday .
