Lagoon does a great job combining the old and the new seamlessly into a wonderful experience. The park last three coaster installations were in-house creations and all deliver: Cannibal, Wicked and Bombora. Cannibal and Wicked provide a one-two punch that that compete with any park and Bombora is a fun family coaster with a surf inspired soundtrack. Other relatively new thrill rides in the include Air Race, Cliffhanger (a drenching Top Spin), Samurai (Top Scan) and Rocket (S&S Tower). However, the parks combines the old with the new
Classic rides include two dark rides, a wonderfully scenic ferris wheel, classic train ride through a zoo, Flying Scooters, Rock-o-Plane and a SkyRide over a classic midway.
To further preserve the old there is Pioneer Village, a collection or small eclectic museums housed in old buildings. |
| Food |
The park has Arby's (two locations) and Subway to cover the sandwich fanatic. But of course you can find traditional park food, hot dogs, corn dogs, burgers and chicken tenders. When you want to go beyond the boring fare you can try Teriyaki Stix for Asian bowls or The Old Mill Grill for BBQ that is covered in a tasty and rich BBQ sauce.
Traditional snacks such as popcorn, cotton candy and ice cream can be found at the park, but you can also find Hawaiian Ice, Queues de Castor (Beaver Tails) or Dirty Coke, a regional favorite made by flavoring Coke with Coconut.

| TPR Notes |
|
| Lagoon is one of America oldest and largest independent parks. The park contains 10 coasters, two dark rides, a wide variety of flat rides, a train ride through a zoo, water park and a few historical exhibits/museums. Wicked and Cannibal are both great recent additions to the park and really amp up the thrill factor making Lagoon a destination park. Due to the nature of some coasters being designed in-house booster seats are available for small rides to ride some of the larger coasters. The park has traditional flats along with newer high intensity rides. Walkways are wide, well shaded and nicely landscaped. The park provides a variety of food options, including chains (Subway and Arbys). Pioneer Village provides a relaxed area where you can gain a little knowledge. | |
