TheBEASTunchained Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 New for 2015 at Lagoon, their 2nd roller coaster to be built "in-house", Cannibal. The ride will feature a vertical lift hill of over 200 ft. http://fox13now.com/2014/09/04/lagoons-new-roller-coaster-is-out-for-blood-cannibal-coming-soon/ http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/blogsmoviecricket/58374912-66/cannibal-lagoon-coaster-roller.html.csp http://www.standard.net/Business/2014/09/04/Cannibal-Lagoon-s-newest-ride.html This should be a very interesting roller coaster, to say the least! 4 Quote
thekidd33 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 200+ foot drop at 116 degrees? Sign me up! 3 Quote
upstop Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 "Primarily constructed and manufactured locally". Sounds like it may be an S&S contraption.....super large version of Wild Hog? 3 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 "Primarily constructed and manufactured locally". Sounds like it may be an S&S contraption.....super large version of Wild Hog? I believe that the only major roller coaster manufacturer that the ride is / could be involved with is probably Maurer Sohne, because they helped the park somewhat with their last "in-house" coaster, Bombora, but in the end, the real manufacturer of the ride is Lagoon, itself. At most, Lagoon will only be receiving certain parts for the coaster from Maurer Sohne. The designer of the ride, however, is Dal Freeman, former designer for the defunct Arrow Dynamics, of Clearfield UT. Quote
WindingSon Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 When they say local, they mean local construction companies and suppliers, not S&S. They did the major design work in-house.Here's info from the Lagoon fan site, Lagoon Is Fun: Stats as Released to Us By Lagoon:Tower Height: 208 FeetTrack Length: 2,735 FeetRide Time: 2 ½ minutes Maximum G Force: 4.2 G’sMaximum Speed: 70 miles per hourMaximum Inverted Loop: 140 Feet TallRiders Per Car: 12Rider Capacity Per Hour: 1,200Minimum Height to Ride: 46 to 48 inches, to be determinedBudget: $22 MillionUnique Ride Elements: Vertical LiftInverted LoopDiving LoopUnderground TunnelExclusive thrill element to be announced at a later date.Manufactured and constructed locallyOver 75% of contractors and vendors are from UtahSignificant Local Contractors:- Automotive & Industrial Supply- Border States Electric- Brundage-Bone- Codale Electric Supply- Colonial Building Supply- Fastenal Company- FOR-SHOR Company- GEM Buildings- Geneva Rock Inc.- H&E Equipment Services- HOJ Engineering & Sales- Intermountain Concrete Specialties- Intermountain Lift- Lakeview Rock Products- Marmon/Keystone, LLC- Marz Precision Manufacturing- Masco, Inc. - Mountain Crane Services, LLC- Pacific Steel- Petersen Incorporated- Pilot Freight Services- Quality Fire Protection- Richards Sheet Metal- T.H.B.

silver2005 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 The track piece in a picture on one of those links looks like Intamin, Mack or Gerstlauer. I'm inclined to think it'll be a Eurofighter in this case.

WindingSon Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Intermountain Lift is supplying the track. Lagoon themselves are the manufacturer. This isn't your typical installation where a park simply contracts a manufacturer and they take care of it. Lagoon designed it and are essentially building it themselves. They did it with Bombora and Wicked (to an extent) before. This may be the largest roller coaster to be designed and built by a park. 4 Quote
LordSkippy Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 A vertical lift over 200 feet? Wow. 2 Quote

Tallest, perhaps, largest, perhaps not. 5 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Anyone watch the video in the first link? I would like to network with Lagoon's spokesperson. 4 Quote
thekidd33 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 ^That must be the one of a kind maneuver! 5 Quote
Existential Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 12 Person car? Definitely sounds like a take on a Euro-fighter or a 'Maverick' style launcher. And from the rendering...Does the lift and first drop take place in that massive building? This looks really interesting. 4 Quote
linearinduction Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 ^ The Trains will be 3 Rows, with 4 Across, on only 4 Bogies, with an overhead lap bar. The Trains are Definitely NOT anything like those from Gerstlauer or Stakotra Manufacturing, since they are being Fabricated by ART Engineering GmbH, which supplied Trains for BomBora and Trains and Track and Column Engineering for Wonder Mountain's Guardian. The Vertical Lift will be a Vertical Elevator Lift like Intamin used on Pilgrims Plunge and Divertical. The 116 Degree Beyond Vertical Drop will be outside the Tower. There are Renderings we got from Lagoon over on LagoonisFun.com. 5 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I'm somewhat surprised this thread hasn't received more attention, especially based off how gigantic - and unique - this project is. Here are two recent pictures of the coaster's construction: From Theme Park Review, the ride's massive tower and drop. From Standard Examiner, a look at the base of the drop and the ride's first inversion. 9 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Do I spy a large trim brake at the top of the drop? If so, *sigh* 1 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 ^That's the norm for most beyond-90 degree roller coasters. Takabisha, Crazy Bird, Timber Drop, Mumbo Jumbo, and Steel hawg - the five steepest roller coasters in the world - all have similar features on their main drops. 3 Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Even Maverick slows down a lot before the drop. 3 Quote
thekidd33 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Trying to decide if that glorious drop cancels out that hideous tower... 5 Quote
Spectrum91 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 ^Hideous? I think it looks intimidating and will serve as an epic new icon for the park. Here are a few new photos, originally posted on Lagoon's Facebook: 8 Quote
thekidd33 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Yeah, if that is the finished product (strictly speaking of the tower) then I'm sticking with hideous. 3 Quote
silver2005 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 That building almost looks too narrow for a vertical lift. Judging by the radius of the crest of the first drop, the lift probably has small radii as it curves up and back to level. I'm guessing the trim brake is there so the negative g forces don't get too uncomfortable. I'm curious to see the rest of the layout they have planned. I also agree on the design of the tower being rather hard on the eyes. 2 Quote
calakapepe Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Too narrow for a vertical lift?http://www.coaster-net.com/pictures/dollywood/mystery-mine-auvs.jpghttp://www.dollymania.net/bbq066724.jpgThis coaster looks like it'll be a lot of fun, though I don't think it'd be anything more thrilling than other coasters aside from the huge drop. Not a BAD thing Quote
linearinduction Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah, if that is the finished product (strictly speaking of the tower) then I'm sticking with hideous. The siding Lagoon used on the Tower actually has a Wood Grain Faux Finish on it. Too narrow for a vertical lift? http://www.coaster-net.com/pictures/dollywood/mystery-mine-auvs.jpg http://www.dollymania.net/bbq066724.jpg This coaster looks like it'll be a lot of fun, though I don't think it'd be anything more thrilling than other coasters aside from the huge drop. Not a BAD thing Cannibal has a Dual Elevator Lift just like Pilgrim's Plunge did and Divertical has. 5 Quote

silver2005 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 This looks mighty impressive for a coaster built in-house. 5 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 It's going to be unbelievably good....or unbelievably bad. No way that thing's going to be mediocre. 5 Quote
SOBwasaSOB Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Looks amazing! Looks can be deceiving though, there is only one way to find out how enjoyable it is... 1 Quote
