We went on a Sunday afternoon and it actually wasn't that busy. First spot we went to was the old wooden roller coaster. We rode that to get used to the rides before we went to the bigger rides. The wood roller coaster always scares me just because it is so old. As we were going up the first hill the cars stopped about halfway up (I think the other train had not made it to the end/beginning yet.) It than continued up the hill and went through the ride fine. When we finished on the wood roller coaster we went on to the bigger rides like the colossus and the wicked. The wicked was pretty scary! It launches you straight up without warning than straight down. When we got a little tired of all the rides we played some games for a bit to try to win some stuffed animals. We did the 3 point contest over by the colossus and I realized I should not play basketball. The rides go pretty fast.
So the park is pretty big, not as big as say Six Flags but still really big, especially for Utah. We got drinks and some food later. The food is rather expensive however that is expected since you are at a amusement park.
The park is really fun. I love the Rattle Snake Rapids ride, it is fun because you get really wet and you go down and up on the rapids. The park has a lot of rides for people of all ages. They have kiddie rides, super fast adult rides, and the train and such that is for everyone even older people.
The park has a new ride that is called "Cannibal" It is 208 feet tall and goes up to 70 MPH. It has a inverted drop. You actually drop at 116 degrees. Pretty intense. Unfortunately I couldn't ride it because when I was in line they closed the ride for routine maintenance. It was closed for about an hour. We went back after it reopened and it unfortunately wasn't going with people on it. It was just running with empty cars. Apparently they had to test the ride after the maintenance. I was pretty disappointed since it was the one ride we all really wanted to go on. But another day right?
We went on The Rocket which is a ride that shoots you 200 feet straight up in less than three seconds! Than there is what is called "re-entry" It lifts you 200 feet up in about 20 or so seconds and then dropped to the bottom which makes you feel weightless. You feel like you are going to fly out of your seat. Really scary if you are afraid of heights.
The park is a great day activity for residents of Utah and visitors also. It is a fun day that you will need sunscreen for and a lot of energy. It is a very fun park and I loved the experience to go and ride all the rides. Will definitely go back soon enough.
All in all the rides and park is a great fun time. Definitely want to come check this park out!
