Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (10/19/09) Lagoon has announced their intention to restore the three lion statues they purchased for $16,0000, which they will then put on display somewhere at the theme park as a piece of Utah’s history. The exact locations have not yet been determined as it is unknown as to how long it will take to restore the lions. One of the lions is special too, as it contains within it a time capsule added back in 1977 during a previous restoration.
    (10/13/09) Lagoon is said to have made an interesting purchase this fall. Apparently the park purchased three out of four of the large stone lion statues that were left over from the renovation of the state’s capital building. (New identical copies replaced them in case you were wondering.) So one has to wonder… just what use does Lagoon have for three large stone lion statues? Could this be themeing for a future attraction?

2010 - New Family Coaster - (10/27/09) Screamscape sources that confirmed to us that the coaster supports arriving on site are NOT from Premier Rides. Unfortunately this leaves us in the dark again as to who they do belong to. Some still think it could be another Zierer project, meanwhile the Mack YoungStar coaster rumor still holds water as well.
    (10/26/09) I’ve been given permission to share a few pictures of the new coasters supports on site at Lagoon with everyone. As far as I can tell, they do look like Premier Rides supports, similar to what we’ve seen them use on the Italian Job coasters. Apparently they have been placed in the park between Colossus and Wicked. Another reader has told us that the new coaster would be placed somewhere between Lagoon-A-Beach and Jumping Dragon.
    (10/23/09) New coaster looking support pieces are said to have arrived on site at Lagoon and a reader was kind enough to send me some pictures to look at. For the most part these cream colored pieces have been wrapped up to the point where it’s nearly impossible to make out any kind of detail, however you can see a few interesting little details. For example, from what we can see the supports do appear to possible be a Premier Rides’ design, as they look similar to what we’ve seen them use on the former Italian Job: Stunt Coasters.
    At this point I’m not going to post them just yet, because I’m not sure if I have permission to do so, but hopefully I’ll be able to show a few off in the near future.
    (10/16/09) The latest rumor to float my way indicated that Lagoon was taking a serious look at buying a Mack YoungStar kiddie coaster for either 2010 or 2011, depending on how things worked out.

2011/2012 - New Coaster - Rumor - (10/16/09) The next big coaster could be on the way to Lagoon as early as 2011, and much like Wicked, this should be another custom creation. According to the latest buzz, the park has been meeting with all the big companies out there to see who can bring their vision to life. Sounds like the older idea about buying a Maurer Skyloop has gone out the window in favor of something better.
    (3/3/08) Screamscape sources have confirmed that Lagoon is indeed working on new coaster concepts for sometime after the 2010 season. The park is said to be in talks with both Maurer Sohne and Vekoma about possible concepts. This seems to confirm our last rumor that mentioned a Maurer X-Coaster concept, but I’ve got to wonder just what Lagoon may be looking at from Vekoma this time around. My suggestion is that Lagoon would actually be the perfect sized park a Vekoma Stingray, especially considering that the park seems to like adding compact coasters.
    (1/28/08) If the latest buzz is true, Lagoon is set to begin working with Maurer-Sohne for their next coaster creation, but it may not actually open until 2010. According to our sources they are looking to add a Maurer X-Coaster design to the park that may feature a Skyloop.
