Wicked Roller Coaster (4K) POV - Lagoon Amusement Park

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Wicked is a launched steel roller coaster located at Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah, United States. It opened on June 1, 2007. Just over 2 months after park opening due to gaps in the track that required re-welding. It is currently the second tallest roller coaster at Lagoon, surpassed only by Cannibal.
Wicked was designed by Dal Freeman/Lagoon Corporation, manufactured by Zierer, and fabricated by Stakotra Manufacturing. The ride is thrilling because it is launched to high speed vertically without any significant warning, has a 90-degree descent on the tower hill, pulls 4.885 gs, features a unique lap-bar restraint, and features an Immelmann turn and heartline roll. It was rumored to be named by the daughter of Dal Freeman (a designer/engineer of Magnum XL-200) as "Wicked," after the famous musical and book, or after the fact that the design looked "wicked" to her. Wicked was the first LSM (linear synchronous motor) launched roller coaster to utilize a flywheel inverter. The LSMs are not only used for launching the trains, but for also braking the trains. The energy recovered by braking the trains is used to spin the flywheel inverter where potential energy is stored and used to launch the trains.
Riders start by turning into a dark tunnel with a siren and a loud boom, before shooting straight up the 110 ft vertical launch hill at 40 MPH, cresting, and then descending vertically down the other side of the tower at speeds reaching 55 MPH. Riders then go up and over a small airtime hill with a trim brake, before going up and quickly flipping around an Immelmann turn. The track levels out before sending riders up into a heartline roll. They then descend and then quickly pass around a small, shallow turn into the trim/safety brake.
Riders descend into a double half-pipe, then being twisted to the right, left, then into a right half downward helix, then twisting to the left, then descending into a trench covered by a tunnel, before ascending and leveling out into the reduction brake run as the ride ends.

@@SupFoo1400 There are comments
Your description is inaccurate, as it was weldments in many columns that were the manufacturing issue.
I love the illusion that you are about to fly off the rails. Adds some adrenaline to such a slow ride.
Same
I love lagoon
This ride was totally Wicked!
This coaster causes uncontrollable swearing in me the first few seconds.
Same 😂

The first time i rode in this, i thought the screaming about 8 seconds after they leave was artificial. Nope, pure terror from being launched 100 feet in the air.
I rode this ride yesterday, so much fun but I tended up so much it almost hurt lol
Wicked was the very first roller coaster I’ve ever rod
Mine was bombora, then a year or two later I rode colossus which was my first big one!
I really like the launch on wicked it’s fun it launch straight up to the top but on impulse you just slowly climb up the tower which looks kind of boring but lagoon was able to make their attraction better
Yeah this coasters amazing
@@SadlerStudios Not gonna lie I kind of like wicked’s restraints better then cannibal’s
@@SadlerStudios hi
@@jamestropicals8262 hi

I love this ride!!! It’s so funnnn
I love lagoon this is my 2nd fav ride😂
I’m going on Sunday I’m so so so excited
Way less scary watching it on video btw lol, I screamed the f word the whole way down the first part
My dad screamed it on spider but not canniba
Kind of reminds me of Impulse at Knoebels.
Yesterday I went to lagoon and I went on that ride and passed out for 2 seconds oh god it was bad...
I love it so much but at the end the black thing hurts my waist thats how protective you know it is
I’m going in two weeks and I’m forcing my step sis to go in it with me
0:35 why does wicked have those alarm sounds before your about to launch
I think it is a warning for riders and workers.
@@FRONTSEATPOV meaning that your going to launch in 3... 2... 1...
@@FRONTSEATPOV or maybe to scare u a bit
@@lanahnotfound2287 maybe or maybe no
@@jamestropicals8262 its deffinalty to scare you, i went on it this week
I hate the long lines of people to ride this ride I was in the freaking line for like more then an hour
Lol. Sorry for replying 11 months later.
If you bring a kid to that ride, that is 46-50 inches, you can skip the whole line!!
Yesterday I went with my 6 year old sister that was exactly 46 inches. They let us go to the booster seat line, and we got on the next coaster.
So try and persuade younger kids to go for your sake.
@@simonhtv2outside393 I was actually 11 years old when I went
@@simonhtv2outside393 When I went it was actually a lagoon day for lots of middle school kids and it wasn’t for the public in may 2019 and the lines were so long because of all the kids in line, I like going to lagoon on a public day better because the lines were actually much shorter and not quite as many kids but there still were kids. And there were lots of annoying kids in line for some the rides that we went on in may 2019
