I totally read that last word wrong.

I think I know what video you are speaking about, it is one with a drone flying around the ride showing great views of this great ride.

I believe this is the video you are talking about.

I am usually one that can post things on this site and other sites with no issues at all but I guess I am struggling posting YouTube videos so here is the link instead.

I have been wondering if it was just my computer lately, or if this forum's server needs a BIG update.

Look at the design of this website and tell me it doesn't scream 1999-2004

I am sure this site has not been updated since around the time I was married and it will be 10 years this August.

Let me give it a shot:

I rule!

I am impressed that the ThemeParkReview is posting stuff about this coaster before it is even finished being built. It goes to show how much Lagoon is accomplishing with so little $$$ (the Cannibal being designed in-house and built local, I mean). Good for them!

Future Mayor · #**130** Posted **Mar 3, 2015, 2:34 AM**

I really hope Lagoon sees what a real roller coaster can do for business and overall excitement for the park and that rather than add a stupid "bat" or "BomBora" every other year, wait 3-4 and build another real coaster. Maybe a real inverted coaster instead of the "bat".

I'm excited for Cannibal.

I don't disagree with the need for real coasters at Lagoon, but I do think Lagoon knows their market. Bombora and the Bat are things that parents can ride with their kids, after paying nearly full price for their kids to get in with them. Instead of me standing to the side while my kid rides a kid ride, I go on that ride with them. We had season passes to Lagoon last year, and while my boys do like the big rides now, they still enjoy the tame ones too. I'd wager there are a lot of families in that boat that are transitioning to things like Wicked and Cannibal who like that there are the lame rides out there.

Plus it pulls some people out of your big boy lines.

jedikermit · #**132** Posted **Mar 3, 2015, 3:53 PM**

Aaaand just to reiterate, I'm hella excited for Cannibal, and so is my older son, and my wife and younger son will never ever ever go on it ever. Ever.

Ever.

But getting one of those every 3-4 years would elevate Lagoon to the top of the western amusement parks map pretty quick. Loving it.

I have to agree. When I take my nieces to lagoon they can't yet ride the big rides so those mid size rides are just perfect. I mean, space mountain and the other rides at Disney are pretty tame but they cater to families, so the work.

Cannibal's test run

Wow, already? Awesome.
I hate the ads on KSL, so here:

You're welcome.

Did I see that correctly? Did the train sit up there on the top of the 'hill' for a few seconds before plummeting?
This is what I have been hoping they would do.

Here's a Close Up Video of Cannibal Testing on Easter Sunday:

Welcome to the Forum, and I like your name!
I liked the video so much that I put it on the thread (It's sort of my thing, now...)

P.S.: It looks like the edge seat on the back row is missing its backrest... do you know why that could be?

scottharding · #**138** Posted **May 22, 2015, 11:53 PM**

anyone know what the officially opening date is for the Cannibal?

jubguy3 · #**139** Posted **May 23, 2015, 4:06 AM**

I'm going to be at lagoon tomorrow, will try to get a pic of cannibal but knowing me I'll forget

Comrade · #**140** Posted **May 23, 2015, 6:30 AM**

When does it open?
