Rumor Project 2027: Intamin Hot Racer

[MaxxForceFan]

"Last year, Lagoon phased out its controversial zoo after years of criticism from animal rights activists. Addressing the controversy, Leishman said, “The bottom line is I can say with complete confidence that the animals were treated exceptionally well. Freed added that they are planning a new attraction in the space where the zoo was and hope to have it ready by next summer."

How tradition, nostalgia, and a bit of change have helped a Utah amusement park live on

So, there's been developments.

The 1941 Flying Scooters is currently coming down for what maintenance says is a "repaint, refurbishment, and relocation". My hunch is they'll move this to the zoo site, by the waterfront. Probably fits better there than a major coaster.


Lump it in with the Jet Star II site and suddenly this makes a lot more sense;

I can see the entrance, the queue line & the exit where that coaster used to be and the station where the flying scooters

The only flat ride in the circled area.

Okay, now we're going places. I still wonder what model this will end up being... but the plot at least makes sense now

Kid Flash Cosmic Coaster - Six Flags Fiesta Texas (San Antonio, Texas, United States)

I believe the B&M is going where the zoo was.

Looks like an Intamin Family LSM. It's the same top hat.

I'd be extremely shocked if Lagoon got two massive coasters back to back. It's not that big of a park. It was most likely parts for something else.

What at Lagoon would be needing B&M parts???

i mean they spent 22 million on cannibal and Primordial is rumored to have cost 60-70 million. i could see them going crazy with the budget for a 5 year plan

> In a new press release, park authorities say the coaster “will be the first launched single-rail coaster in the United States.” They also say the ride will be the first multi-launch coaster at Lagoon, and the first roller coaster from Intamin, a company known for its amusement rides.

"Lagoon says the new coaster will have nearly 1,746 feet of track and at 102 seconds, the ride will last nearly 1 minute and 42 seconds, longer than many high-thrill launch coasters. It will also have two separate launches keeping riders moving throughout the experience.

At 40 mph, the ride will have 13 airtime experiences, up to 8 seconds of airtime and three inversions. It is set at a maximum of 50 feet and will have two trains with 10 single-file coaches each."

Could be for anything really. Maybe they're supplying parts for a ride that isn't built by them.
