Great video Big Guy! Lagoon is awesome but the >$100 cost for a single day adult pass seems a bit much. As the only park in Utah they can get away with it. The season pass which costs only about 2x that is the way to go. Which of course is no help for out-of-state/infrequent visitors😒

@Bigguyrides 2 дня назад
Thanks for watching! I agree they price pretty high. Especially compared to a place like silverwood, who is a very similar size park and also run independently (they charge about $60 daily there). Lagoon is a great park but certainly over priced

My favs, were Tilt a whirl, Teacups, Scrambler, Music Express, Old white roller coaster, Dracula's castle, Merry-Go-Round , Terror Ride, Swings, The Hammer and funhouse and a few others like the wet rides, like Rattlesnake rapids. Haven't been in several years, didn't realize they had so many new rides, heard of a few of these newer ones but not all. Haven't heard of the bat, spider?, Odessey? just reading through the comments, I know most of my favs are gone. ☹The Dutch are awesome ride designers.

We know Hershey Park was once looking to acquire Silverwood, and what's not to say that Wild Waves would be the ideal choice for building a nice compact park. I think there's a lot of room here for a better themepark to be built here.

Agree it def needs some upgrades but the location makes it such that it’s out of the way for a lot of people. However being that there isn’t another major park up in that area until you hit silverwood, WW has the chance to dominate if they wanted to in that market

AWESOME video, thank you! SFDK is my local Six Flags Park as I live in Vallejo. I ❤ SFDK, BUT, I am NOT a fan of their version of Batman. My favorite version of Batman is the B&M floorless one that I've ridden at both Six Flags Great Adventure back east in Jackson, New Jersey as well as down at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, CA in the LA area. Medusa 💚💜 is my FAVORITE coaster at SFDK overall, followed by Superman: Ultimate Flight. Joker looks fun too, but I haven't had the time to ride it yet. Sorry Kong & Boomerang were both closed when you were there. They're both AWESOME! 👍😎

Yeah I agree! they haven't updated much since I was a kid in the 90s. With the exception of steel lasso... All the best rides from the 90s are still the best rides at frontier City in 2024. Log Ride ..Silver Bullet.. Wild Cat and diamondback. I'm shocked that all of those rides are still running today. It is cool taking my kids to the same amusement park that I always went to. But I agree with the guy in this video, it's a great family park if you are in the area. It's really a decent Park if every ride is open when you go. Seems like the diamondback is only open once every 10 times that I go there

*before all the other enthusiasts get on me about rock o plane and roll o plane - I realize traditionally the names of these are flipped however for some reason at Arnold’s park they had “roll-o-plane” sign located in front of the Ferris wheel style ride, and the “rock-o-plane” sign in front of the airplane style ride - not sure why they did this, but I stuck with the name they used at the park for each ride

They need to bring back the Wild West Gunfight from way back in the day. There used to be a train towards the back of the park and “Bandits” would rod the train. Thought I’d add that the gunfight cowboys used to roam around randomly and a gunfight could happen without a moment’s notice

This is my local theme park. We live only 10ish mins away from it been going since I was one month old and I am 11 I highly recommend going in October there is something called the fall fest Adventureland. The fall fest is where 17 to 16 year olds get to be dressed up and they get in scary costumes and also it only happens at night but in the day everything is still all set up and you can go through like haunted houses and everything and during the fall fest I recommend riding the red Spinney ride/the dragon slayer you. would probably think it’s scary in line, but I promise you is not. It is the funniest freaking thing in the world. I love it’s probably like my favorite ride for some reason it’s less scarier than the green roller coaster/the monster I have been on every single ride there and for beginners here are some ages were recommended rides through in my opinion starting at 3 u can ride carousel shaken bacon, and tea cups shaken bacon 3-13 tea cups 3-80 carousel 3- any age starting at 5 Phoenix Derflinger flying Viking falling Viking tilt-a-wherl starting at 6 tornado outlaw and all the rest of the rides are good for all ages

I know this is silly, but I cried at the Harry Potter section. I loved those books and movies growing up and when I got the chance to go to CA in 2018, I wanted to go to Universal so bad just for the Wizarding World section. But my cousin, who I was staying with, convinced me to go to Disneyland. Disneyland was still cool, but it felt more ride driven, whereas Universal seems more experience driven. If I ever get the chance to visit CA again, I WILL go to Universal. I just need to make sure I have money for food and souvenirs. 🤣
@Bigguyrides
@Bigguyrides Месяц назад
Not silly at all! My sister loves Harry Potter as well and this was the ONLY place she wanted to make sure we for sure didn’t miss! So I get it! I feel that both Disney and universal are comparable in CA. I’ve been to both and they offer decent things for both sides, just as you said though food and souvineers can be very expensive!
