We're here at Lagoon for ACE Fall Conference and Frightmares!
A few weeks ago, we visited Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, UT to attend the 2023 ACE Fall Conference. During this two day event, we got the chance to attend our first Frightmares event and get a few rides on the just opened Primordial dark ride / roller coaster.
Primordial has been in the works since right after Cannibal opened in 2015. The attraction was designed in house with the help of outside vendors including ART Engineering, Triotech and Intermountain Lift. At a glance, the ride is a next-generation version of Wonder Mountain's Guardian at Canada's Wonderland, but in truth is much more than that. The attraction features roller coaster and dark ride shooting segments. Riders wear 3-D glasses while on board. The ride distinguishes itself through the fact it has at least 6 different endings. Primordial is unlike any attraction in Lagoon, and really the western US.
Follow along as we provide our impressions of Primordial as well as the Frightmares event in general.
The first thing we noticed was construction right at the park's entrance for next year. There was a fire here recently and its great the park is quickly rebuilding.
Primordial had just opened to the public weeks before this visit, so our first order of duty was to check out the brand new attraction that has been 8 years in the making.
While it was being built, it seemed that Primordial was being built way out in the parking lot, but now that it is done, the ride integrates well with the rest of the park.
ACE and Lagoon offered an hour and a half of ERT on Primordial, plenty of time for us to experience this ride several times.
One thing about Primordial is you will want to ride this multiple times.
