Will it have OTSR or lap bar?

Will it have OTSR or lap bar?

Yes, it will.

Terp -- In your heart you knew he would. Did you expect him to restrain himself?

It will be lapbars according to Lagoon's Facebook page.

Figured you guys would be interested to see Lagoon's Video they posted to their YouTube Account:

Also, with the completion of the Reverse Barrel Rolls, Cannibal Officially has 4 Inversions (Inverted Loop, Diving Loop, and Reverse Barrel Rolls). There are photos on LagoonisFun.com of the Completed Track and Barrel Rolls.

I'm not going to lie here, If it wasn't for Fury, Cannibal would have a legitimate chance of winning best new ride for 2015 (Even against Thunderbird which I'm very excited for).

Don't count out Wicked Cyclone or Twisted Colossus either. Those look like a blast to ride.

Outside of a park like Disney or Universal Studios, this has to be the most elaborate in-house built coaster ever.

Beast was in house, right?

It was indeed.

Ok, most elaborate in-house steel coaster.

Better?

Yup. Flying Turns at Knoebels was an in house project as well I believe.

We now have test footage.

Here are some links to more Opening Day Photos from LagoonisFun.com and Test Ride Video from the 28th.

This is definitely the new ride I want to ride the most.

This thing looks like Maverick on steroids! I almost want to make a trip out to Lagoon JUST to ride this! I'm surprised that a coaster of this scale isn't marketed a whole lot because I barely remembered it was being built up until a few days ago.

Here's the much awaited Cannibal Test Run Video from Easter Sunday taken inside the park!

If you follow Lagoon Park on Facebook and Twitter, they have been keeping everyone updated on progress with photos, interviews, and videos there.

I also remember seeing quite a few news stations covering the testing and construction of the ride.

When the Tan Columns and Red Track started to arrive, I started to jokingly call it "Son of Maverick" lol

Where's the darn POV already those clown shoes.

This ride looks insane

Lagoon might not release one before the eventual media day.

Cannibal has started testing with actual people on it, so hopefully it's getting close to opening. Wicked is a surprisingly great ride for how small it is, so I'm hoping they have another hit on their hands.

I think we're looking at an opening within the next few days, if not today.

They have lifted the gates. CANNIBAL IS OPEN!

That did not take long.

 

And we have a POV:

 

 

Looks like a great ride.

It looks fantastic, I won't be able to make it all the way to Utah anytime soon, but I hope to eventually.

Cannibal is Balls to the Wall INSANE and Craps all over every other Coaster, it's Seriously Amazing!

The ride looks like fun!  It'll be interesting to see reviews from the well-traveled folks who end up riding this.

 

The one thing that would worry me is the capacity.  It looks like from the POV posted that you would probably have anywhere from 60-90 second dispatches.  Each train only holds 12 passengers (3 rows of 4 seats), so you're looking anywhere from 480 pph (at 90 seconds interval) to 720 pph (at 60 seconds interval).  That's Backlot Stunt Coaster-ish capacity and pretty low for a headline attraction. 

If it's anything like Wicked, they will load several trains at once, ready to have them go up the lift the second they can. Which helps increase capacity.
