Son of King Demon Bat Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Will it have OTSR or lap bar? Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Will it have OTSR or lap bar?Yes, it will. Terp -- In your heart you knew he would. Did you expect him to restrain himself? 7 Quote
thekidd33 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 It will be lapbars according to Lagoon's Facebook page. 3 Quote
linearinduction Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Figured you guys would be interested to see Lagoon's Video they posted to their YouTube Account: Also, with the completion of the Reverse Barrel Rolls, Cannibal Officially has 4 Inversions (Inverted Loop, Diving Loop, and Reverse Barrel Rolls). There are photos on LagoonisFun.com of the Completed Track and Barrel Rolls. 5 Quote
zacc1993 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I'm not going to lie here, If it wasn't for Fury, Cannibal would have a legitimate chance of winning best new ride for 2015 (Even against Thunderbird which I'm very excited for). 3 Quote
coasterfanatic83 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Don't count out Wicked Cyclone or Twisted Colossus either. Those look like a blast to ride. 3 Quote
silver2005 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Outside of a park like Disney or Universal Studios, this has to be the most elaborate in-house built coaster ever. 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Ok, most elaborate in-house steel coaster. Better? 2 Quote
zacc1993 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yup. Flying Turns at Knoebels was an in house project as well I believe. 2 Quote
linearinduction Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Here are some links to more Opening Day Photos from LagoonisFun.com and Test Ride Video from the 28th. http://www.lagoonisfun.com/showthread.php?tid=5247&pid=65511#pid65511 http://www.lagoonisfun.com/showthread.php?tid=5247&pid=65536#pid65536 https://youtu.be/0TTdBDlJGas 2 Quote
SOBwasaSOB Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 This is definitely the new ride I want to ride the most. 1 Quote
Coasterama Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This thing looks like Maverick on steroids! I almost want to make a trip out to Lagoon JUST to ride this! I'm surprised that a coaster of this scale isn't marketed a whole lot because I barely remembered it was being built up until a few days ago. 2 Quote
linearinduction Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 Here's the much awaited Cannibal Test Run Video from Easter Sunday taken inside the park! https://youtu.be/Pqog9FEi24o 6 Quote

I'm surprised that a coaster of this scale isn't marketed a whole lot because I barely remembered it was being built up until a few days ago. If you follow Lagoon Park on Facebook and Twitter, they have been keeping everyone updated on progress with photos, interviews, and videos there. I also remember seeing quite a few news stations covering the testing and construction of the ride. 2 Quote

When the Tan Columns and Red Track started to arrive, I started to jokingly call it "Son of Maverick" lol 2 Quote
Existential Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Where's the darn POV already those clown shoes. 2 Quote
linearinduction Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Where's the darn POV already those clown shoes. Lagoon might not release one before the eventual media day. 2 Quote
WindingSon Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Cannibal has started testing with actual people on it, so hopefully it's getting close to opening. Wicked is a surprisingly great ride for how small it is, so I'm hoping they have another hit on their hands. 4 Quote
WindingSon Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I think we're looking at an opening within the next few days, if not today. Quote
WindingSon Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 They have lifted the gates. CANNIBAL IS OPEN! 4 Quote
WindingSon Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 And we have a POV: Looks like a great ride. 7 Quote
CoasterDirected Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 It looks fantastic, I won't be able to make it all the way to Utah anytime soon, but I hope to eventually. 4 Quote
linearinduction Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 It looks fantastic, I won't be able to make it all the way to Utah anytime soon, but I hope to eventually. Cannibal is Balls to the Wall INSANE and Craps all over every other Coaster, it's Seriously Amazing! 3 Quote
gad198 Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 The ride looks like fun! It'll be interesting to see reviews from the well-traveled folks who end up riding this. The one thing that would worry me is the capacity. It looks like from the POV posted that you would probably have anywhere from 60-90 second dispatches. Each train only holds 12 passengers (3 rows of 4 seats), so you're looking anywhere from 480 pph (at 90 seconds interval) to 720 pph (at 60 seconds interval). That's Backlot Stunt Coaster-ish capacity and pretty low for a headline attraction. 4 Quote
WindingSon Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 If it's anything like Wicked, they will load several trains at once, ready to have them go up the lift the second they can. Which helps increase capacity. 2 Quote
