Lagoon needs competition

Utah is very lucky to have Lagoon. Buy a season pass, it’s not that expensive.

I'm not going to Lagoon more than once a year (if that) and I live 4.5 hours

I agree. Utah is a small market to have something like Lagoon

If it weren't for our longish winters, Disney or Universal would have built here

Ted Lasso

It would assure that most families here never leave the state for vacation ever again.

Which is mostly why Lagoon is the only business in town.

There are tons of places that make more sense before Utah.

My kids were watching a YouTube video the other day about that very thing.

Pretty sure I watched that same video not too long ago.

I watched that too, interesting perspective as a kind of outsider

Agreed. We take our kids once per year because my work has a Lagoon day where

"Are there plans for that Evermore park that closed down?"

Interesting. I know nothing about Brandon Sanderson, but my kids love him

I can't wait to go and cosplay as Breeze.

Are those rumors ONLY on CB? I've not seen anything about it other than he owns land next to Evermore.

Preppy

May 14, 9:50am

Why else would he purchase the land next to it? It's a perfect location for

Some Sanderson fan youtuber made a video about it.

Ted Lasso

There are no real rumors. It's just speculation based on connecting some dots.

If you compare it to a day of skiing, it doesn't seem terrible

I can't ski anymore after going for $5 in high school.

Someone should buy a mineshaft and take people down to play lasertag or somethin

Show me another metro area the size of SLC with multiple Lagoon size parks.

Also add in that they can only really be open during the summer and you

One problem: Land. $$$$

The cost is why my family of 6 hasn't gone. I'm sure we'll eventually take the

speaking of Lagoon, is anyone familiar with taking frontrunner to the lagoon

EEcougar

May 14, 9:53am

There's a bus that runs between Lagoon and the frontrunner station

jreid191

May 14, 10:00am

Yeah, my kids would take frontrunner then the shuttle bus to Lagoon

Competition won't make it any cheaper.

Great Wolf Lodge would do well.

Went to the one in AZ last year and had a ton of fun. Perfect for families with young children and the waterslides are

RootieBoy

Yeah, that would work. But since there are some of those in surrounding states, I would try to duplicate

Great Wolf Lodge would absolutely crush it here in Utah

Why is there no Great Wolf Lodge in Utah? That would be instantly popular.

Oops, as Ted Lasso just pointed out.

I wish it was 200 dollars, and then maybe the lines would be shorter.

Ssebo

May 14, 10:08am

It’s a miracle Lagoon gets as much business as they do. I know plenty of people that went once as a teen or young adult

The season pass is $169 on Black Friday. It's a no-brainer for people living in

Last year they opened a new, nicer restaurant. Themed to a german beirgarten.

They need to get rid of the zoo, it's terrible.
