Cannibal - The world's scariest roller coaster

If you enjoyed this video it would mean a lot to subscribe to my channel! We recently hit 70K subs which is wild! :_botYes:😍

It's always nice to have the community make a video on your relatively ignored home park.

And don't forget the tribal drums shaking you to your core as you go up the lift. Scariest part of the ride for me

something you forgot to mention is how smooth the in-house rides are. the track pieces can be much larger since they don’t have to travel that far, and that makes the rides so much smoother. bombora is still one of the smoothest coasters i’ve ever been on, and it’s over a decade old.

Fun story: I hadn't been on a coaster for months due to lockdown when I visited here and I got sick on both Spider and the small inverted coaster. That altitude didn't help. The shimmy in the Cannibal lift was very unusual! Still glad I went

something else you should have noted, another thing that absolutely played a part in their decision to make Bombora in house was with Wicked, while they had designed it in house, they outsourced the making of it to Zierer, like you mentioned, however, what you didn't mention with it was that prior to launch it was discovered that the supports on Wicked were not welded properly, meaning they all had to be redone, which pushed back the opening of the ride

Rode that with my daughter when she was around 7 years old. Just barely tall enough to ride. They had to put a seat booster in just in case so she was tight enough. So what makes this ride so scary is it just has a lap bar of sorts. No over the shoulder restraints. It literally feels like you're going to fall out when it does the corkscrew to reverse corkscrew. It's a fun ride and my daughter loved it, but it just feels a bit sketchy.

I rode this ride 17 times in a row during the pandemic right when lagoon opened. I definitely shouldn’t have done it but it still is my favorite coaster memory.

Lagoon season pass holder here! Cannibal looks way more intimidating than it actually is, it's a fast, smooth ride, and an absolute joy. Whenever we go to Lagoon (which is often when we only live an hour away) it is the first ride we hit, and usually we'll come ride it again at the end of the day if we have time. One of the things that impresses me the most is how fast they keep the queue moving. As long as the ride is actually operational and cycling cars through, even when the line is out past the Ferris Wheel, it goes super fast. It's only when they're having technical difficulties that the line stalls, and I only saw that happen twice last year. Colossus is still my favorite, but that's definitely due to nostalgia.

The Lagoon roll is absolutely magical! The story of this ride's development explains a lot of why it's so special. It's easily one of my top three roller coasters.

this isnt the scariest roller coaster ever, but boy was THIS INTENSE!! i love this thing so much

Lagoon is a unique and one of a kind park which is why it is one of my favorites. It is able to keep its “small park” charm while having some of the best coasters out there. They also have two rare Bill Tracey dark rides with the Terroride and Dracula’s Castle on the main midway and Pioneer Village which has a huge collection of Utah’s oldest houses and antique museums.

Presenting a specific coaster and combining it with the parks history in the same video is a very cool concept. I hope there is more of this in the future. :)

I really love this ride. As someone who lives in Utah, and isn't really able to leave the state that much, I've never been able to go to any park other than Lagoon. I watched videos of people recording on more intense roller coasters when I was young, and wish we had something ourselves. When Cannibal opened, it was a much needed bump in intensity compared to the rest of the park.

I work at lagoon and it’s the best thing and just hearing the conversations between people going on cannibal and saying that it was the scariest ride they’ve ever been on lol

I was on the maintenance crew for lagoon and it was a fun thing to build... Trust me there is so much i could tell you about that coaster... It was rotated amongst employees to work on it cause we had our other rides to do during the off season. I actually got to witness the first drop test as well... The delay for the ride was cause of the restraint system had to be redesigned it failed what they call a violence test...so it was back to the old drawing board... And also it was a eater of ppl too.. One of our guys got his hand nearly ripped off cause the wrench he was holding while torquing the bolts tight took him for a ride of his own..and it was savage ...I saw it happen it was not pretty... Also, one of the heavier parts of track was a section of the lagoon roll it was about 13,000 lbs.... OH and primordial is being built on what we used to call the grave yard....just different things that were junk or only used for frightmares. But now since I guess the long flume is gone...I wonder what that's going to be used for.... Any questions....???

I feel a strange amount of honor for just having this as my past home park

I love how this wasn't just a video on cannibal, but kind of on lagoon in general; I knew a bit about the park already, but it's always nice to have some more insider information

I remember when Cannibal had the tower go up they did it right next to the Ferris Wheel so me and my friends would ride the Ferris Wheel to try and see what they we're up too. All we got was it was a coaster when we saw one of the tracks Edit: Also the spot where the ride operator is standing is actually a cooking pot

Despite having two entirely different layouts and gimmicks, Cannibal always reminds me of Kärnan.
