Description: Lagoon is an amusement park in Farmington, Utah, United States located about seventeen miles (27 km) north of Salt Lake City. It also is one of few parks today that is still family owned. It has eight roller coasters, three of which are unique; one of these being Colossus the Fire Dragon, which is one of only two remaining Schwarzkopf Double Looping coasters still in operation (Laser at Dorney Park is the other), and is the longest existing model. Another is The Bat, a Vekoma junior suspended coaster that opened in 2005. The third is the park's newest coaster, Wicked, which opened in the year 2007. Wicked is the park's biggest and fastest roller coaster. It was designed by Lagoon's engineering department in cooperation with Zierer, a ride manufacturer. Lagoon is divided into five main areas: The Midway, containing the majority of the rides and an assortment of carnival type games and food outlets; Pioneer Village which has several exhibits displaying pioneer buildings and artifacts; Lagoon-A-Beach, a water park which is included in the regular admission price; Kiddie Land with several rides for small children, and the X-Venture Zone featuring more extreme rides that cost extra. Lagoon also offers a full-service RV park, a campground, and a shaded walking trail outside the park that stays open all year.
