Amusement Parks in Utah -- Which to Choose?

For people in Utah seeking fun and excitement, an amusement park is the perfect place to go. Amusement parks offer thrilling rides and often also have live entertainment, games, great food and even places to shop. If you are having trouble choosing between the amusement parks in Utah, you should take a look at Lagoon Amusement Park. This park is located in Farmington, near Salt Lake City. If you enjoy wild rides, then you will love the ones at Lagoon. One of the most adrenaline pumping coasters is the Rocket.

The Rocket is made from three steel towers. You have two choices on this ride. You can choose Blast-Off, which thrusts you powerfully into the air or Re-Entry which brings you hurtling down. Another popular coaster you will find at Lagoon is one made from wood that is one of the oldest and largest in the country. The coaster has been restored and is a favorite of many coaster enthusiasts. Another top pick is the Colossus Fire Dragon. This coaster features terrifying upside down action. This coaster is so incredible it takes six workers to operate it. You will surely get your share of thrills and chills on this coaster.

If you like your rides to be mild instead of wild, there are plenty to enjoy. Kids will love the historic and beautiful Merry-Go-Round. This carousel was crafted in the late 19th century and is one of the few carousels in the United States that feature hand carved wooden animals. The carousel was renovated in 1993 as part of its 100th birthday celebration. Another popular feature of the Lagoon Amusement Park is the waterpark area called the Cool Pool. At the Cool Pool, you'll find plenty of fun slides and lots of water. The price of admission comes with an all-day ticket.

Yet another feature of Lagoon is the Old West. This village is a recreation of the Wild West era and features lots of authentic details. You will feel as if you've traveled back in time. In this area you will discover an educational museum featuring antique weapons in addition to lots of shops, exhibits and dining establishments. Horse drawn carriages and park employees in costume add to the realism. For this reason and more, Lagoon amusement park is one of the finest amusement parks in Utah.
