Overall review of the park in the video is positive, but says that it is way too overpriced due there being no competition. Cedar Point, by comparison, costs half as much as Lagoon does.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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