Lagoon trip October 2008

For Frightmare at Lagoon in October Me, Tasha, Brooke, and Sherrel decided to drive up and my cousin Chelsey drove down Ogden and we all went together. We had lots of fun!

Me and Tasha getting ready to go on the White Rollercoaster. It is by far our favorite one. It just never gets old.

Chelsey, Sherrel, and me on the Boat ride that goes back and forth. It was lots of fun. The screaming war is probably one of the funnest parts of the ride.

Sherrel, Brooke, and me getting ready to ride on the ski lift across the whole park. It was a long line.

Okay so at Lagoon there is this ride that you have to pay extra to ride on. Its called the Sky Coaster and its the big tall Missiour monument looking thing. Its the big arch that you can see from the freeway. I went on Lagoon's website and copied the infor about it just so you can get a little feel for what I went on. :)

This is a picture I found on the internet of the Sky Coaster. At the very top of the arch there are little pole looking things sticking out on each side, thats where they pull you up to and then you get to pull the string to send yourself straight to the ground.

Sky Coaster: The attraction offers all the thrills and excitement of skydiving and hang gliding. The attraction operates by putting the participant in a full body harness (usually referred to as a flight suit), that supports the flyer (from one to three at a time), in a prone position. The harness is then connected to the flight support cables. From a static point approximately 6 feet above the ground, the flyers are then pulled aloft by a launch cable to nearly the top of the launch tower. At this point the flyers are approximately 143 feet above the ground with the flight cables taut and the flight is ready to begin. Upon being given the signal, the flyers pull the rip cord, releasing them from the launch cable and rapidly swing towards the ground at speeds reaching up to 80 mph. The overall feeling is similar to that of swooping along the ground in a hang glider, or that of skydiving.

Another one of me and Chelsey flying through the air. It really was so much fun. I would gladly pay the $15 extra to do it again. It was totally scary, like seriously, but I loved it! :)

This is Tasha and Sherrel flying through the air after us.


This is Tasha and Sherrel in the Catapult. They strap you in this ball thing and then shoot you well over 200 feet in the air. This ride also cost extra. They had tons of fun on it.

This is me in the gift shops, they have some fun little hats. This is one of them.

We really had tons of fun and we can't wait to go back next year!
