kremit the frog it's not that scary. The only scary part would be if your afraid of heights and your at the top. My first time when I was at the top i was like: what have I done... But after you do the drop if you like roller coasters its fun and not too intense. The only intense part is the cannibal roll. I would totally reccomend riding it though
this ride is hand smack down THE most excellent, smooth, powerful, thrilling, beautiful ride I've EVER been on and I'm 50 yrs old. doesn't hurt anything not one tiny bit, it was my first time, after waiting 3 years, the line moved fast and I had the finest AWesOME time EVER!! took 25 years off my "old" attitude too!! I highly recommend it!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
First time I went on it with my dad I was terrified. It scared the crap out of me but as soon as we got to the drop my hands went up and I had a blast. Only coaster I've done that on
I know the lead engineer who designed this and Wicked. The reason why the lap bars are so weird is that they are a custom design so that amputees can ride them without falling out. It's kind of a long description on how they do it, but it's super interesting. The car also tells the operators if the person is too short, tall, fat etc. for the ride. Crazy cool engineering.
Except that as a 6'4" man with somewhat generous proportions, they didn't think of putting a car outside for you to ensure you can fit, as many other major parks do. So, you could potentially wait in line for over an hour or two, and not be able to ride and forced into the walk of shame.
I rode it last year and the elevator is cool. First drop is insane. The lagoon roll is so cool because you just hang out of your seat and it was AWSOME.
This is an amazing ride! the scariest part is the elevator, especially when you're at the bottom and you look up at how high it is. The drop is amazing. The whole ride is awesome and it is my number one looping coaster (tied with Griffon at Busch gardens). I would go back to lagoon just to ride cannibal for hours it is so good!
I just went to Lagoon today, and I rode this three times. The line is really long, but with the efficiency of loading and unloading, it goes by much quicker than several of the other rides in the park.
i am NOT a rollercoaster person, but i went to lagoon this weekend, and i did cannibal! i was so scared and i was freaking out! ive never even done a rollercoaster with a loop before!! but i did it and I LOVED IT! its my fav rollercoaster ever 100/10 recommended! its such a blast honestly the elevator ride up to the drop is literally the scariest part because you psych yourself out but the drop and the loops, etc are just fun! i absolutely loved iy
I live in Utah and cannibal and roller coaster are my favorite rides there, ya there is a roller coaster named roller coaster there, it’s 2019 now it doesn’t break down anymore
I just rode this yesterday I was super scared because of the lap belt but it is extremely safe. the belt is practically like a table and it has a bar for your legs so your legs are secure as well.
This ride is huge for a smaller park, my friend went on it last Saturday for the first time and loved it. I live right next door to the park,literally a 5 minute drive. We are going tomorrow for season of 2021
I went on it yesterday for the first time. Definitely didn't disappoint!, so I went 3 more times that day. You can usually get through the line pretty fast, because of the multiple cars being processed.
Nice job with the review. I agree with your assessment. My favorite element besides the first drop is the Lagoon roll, the air/hang time is like nothing else you can experience anywhere. Hands up is the only way to go through the lagoon roll. It is unbelievable. To your point about not being intense enough, I actually like that it's not too intense because then I can ride it over and over again.
Great Review! I do dis agree that the Lagoon Roll is the best part of the ride. I think the beyond vertical drop being as tall as it is is the best part of the ride. Are you going to review the other rides? I'd like to know what ya thought of BomBora. That is one of my favorites there.
i live about 25 minutes away from lagoon so when its open we go A LOT. And cannibal is BY FAR my favorite ride. but i can only ride it about 2 times per visit before i get a massive headache and feel like im about to throw up. And i dont know what it is about the end part but i ALWAYS almost pass out on that part. but we stop just in time for me to not pass out. And i dont know what it is about that part but for some reason i always almost black out. Overrall, i give it a 9.3/10
Thank you for mentioning that you feel like you’re going to fall out. I was terrified of this ride because everyone I went with or asked about it said they felt secure the whole ride. Gave it another try knowing I wasn’t the only one and it was a blast.
I know! I tried the test seat and it didn’t go on my waist it went on my thighs. I was terrified, but when I got on the train, it got on my waist, but I still felt like I was gonna fall out on the drop and the lagoon fool!
I volunteered for a terrible 4 day conference just to get a 3 hour window that I could sneak out and ride this..... worth it. The first drop is absolutely nuts!
I think this is a very cool coaster. It is neat that this park practically in my back yard now has a record holder. You should try this ride at night sometime if you haven't. The elevator shaft is pitch-black, and the first drop into the tunnel seems to swallow you alive! I will say that like you, I love roller coasters, and rides in general.
lagoon is my park,,and they will be building more intense coasters over years...Lagoon is done with kid rides and there planning to build bigger coasters then cannible. lagoon is making the blue prints to a ride bigger and more insane ride than cannible
Where did you here about this hyper ride? I would personally prefer one in between wicked and cannibal to build up a little to cannibal, as I feel I haven’t built up enough to go on it. (I still will but not now)
Learn to spell, and no they aren't. Their next coaster is NOT an extreme level Cannibal type ride. Also, it's obvious you were like 12 when you wrote this xD.
We have a joke here in Utah about Cannibal. Wells Fargo apparently paid for a lot of the 22 M ride, so my family likes to call it "the wells fargo cannibal".
If anyone has any questions about this ride ASK ME i was a ride mechanic at lagoon and i had to put this thing together....... FYI it was delayed cause the restraint system FAILED what they call a Violence test....
I’m pretty good with coasters. This one of the only coasters besides those stratas that would really make my heart pound. This thing legitimately scares me and I want to ride it ASAP.
There are free lockers at the begging of the line. When it first opened they had plastic storage totes to put your stuff in. The next year of operation they installed free lockers. They're just like the lockers by wicked and the fire dragon.
I’m not a roller coaster rider but I do enjoy watching videos of them lol I did notice in the POV’s that you are facing the freeway instead of the mountains RIP lol
Finally got to ride this. I agree with your overall assessment of "not forceless but not forceful" was very fun, not mind blowing. I actually think I would've like Wicked more if not for the MCBR. Its first half was killer but its killed by that MCBR. But yeah fun, unique ride, that drop is wild. My only real issue is I wish those trims weren't there, or at least lighter. Have some major bite and I felt it sapped that big turn when it could've been real intense, instead was mild.
The one time that I have ridden this ride and the only time that I will ever ride this ride, I was sitting next to my dad, and when it paused at the top, my d ad was like “holy mother of pearls! This is high!” It was really funny!
I went on that ride this year for the first time 2018. I live nearby but I don't go to Lagoon often probably once every 4 or 5 years. But because of cannibal I think I want to go back again this year it's great I did feel like I was going to fall out but I think that's part of the thrill.
There is not a single thing that is not thrilling about this ride! It packs in everything you want in a roller coaster! If I had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 100!!!
they actually have a huge list of in house rides. most are flat rides but ever since they got that engineer from one of the cedar points parks (i think) theyve built a lot of rides. cannibal, being the obvious example, but also wicked and primordial. imo primodial is kind of a meh but its still a big freaking coaster with a huge back drop
I've rode coasters around the world and this ride is seriously one of a kind. My biggest gripe is that they should have built if facing the mountains. the Lagoon Roll(Awesome that they got to name it) is better than the epic drop. Top 5 Coaster for me.
I understand why they faced the valley floor instead, as it makes the "heights" sensation WAAAAAAAAAY stronger. You'd feel MUCH less high up if you faced the mountains, though it'd definitely be a lot prettier.
Yes, welcome to the new era where you no longer have to choose between inversions+OTSRs vs 200+ ft+airtime+lap bar. Inb4 the first inverting giga coaster...
@@CoasterStudios I may, I live in FL but am going to CA this year. First time out west in 5 years and since I can't imagine the next time I'll be out there...and realistically will never need to be in UT I may as well swing by! In Sept do you know if the park is crowded?
The only vertical drop I’ve been on is Thunderbolt at Coney Island. And Possesed at Dorney but that’s launched so and it’s an impulse coaster so you feel it less. So this sounds pretty terrifying.
The only problem with cannibal is when you sit on the side in the middle row or even in the front row you feel like you're going to completely fall out because of the lack of restraints but luckily I was in the middle row but still I guess if you like feeling like you're going to fall out of things it's a pretty good ride overall
Cannibal: "Take your beer BACK, 'cause I have the TALLEST beyond-vertical drop ON EARTH, ya rattling, rough riding Takabisha clone! You're steeper than Takabisha? Yeah, by half a degree! Ooh! My riders' bodies can't really feel a difference of 4.5 degrees, telling you that right now! My drop is 116°.......at 208 feet in the air! So, how 'bout YOU hold MY beer, and my bratwurst too! And you don't have my Lagoon Roll either! On earth, only I have that too! They even named it after my home park! Any of your elements do that? No? Hold my Coca-Cola too!" And Crazy Blastin', this is all in good fun! TMNT Shellraiser looks Awesome! Hope they can smooth out the ride though; I hear it is pretty rough in spots. Peace!
@@paulbehunin5232 what the heck are you talking about? Should I take that back because takibasha is like a clone but the steepness is half from tmnt shellraiser? So what are you talking about?
I’ve gotten stuck in those seats at least three times This happens a whole lot at lagoon lmao It’s so embarrassing because the employees are trying to get you out and you’re holding up the people in line
I love this ride, but it's not my favorite ride that's Tatsu at six flags magic mountain. Any way I think all the stuff in this video is correct!! And yes it's absolutely massive it's insane!!
Thanks for the nice Review. I really found it very detailed. But may I request if you display the Ride-Stats, that you use metric values as well? You know, for us europeans it would be nice :)
When i went on this ride l, It was poring and lighting. We were the last ones in the line cause it closed down. It was so scary being up in that tower with the lighting and the thunder.
Cannibal will be the best roller coaster at lagoon for a really long time, I can’t really think of a roller coaster that would be even better then cannibal
rode this a while ago and me and my friend got off and after we recovered from how awesome it was he said "that was some silence of the lamb sh1t" i then said "WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUSE". XD
