Wicked in Lagoon ( Farmington , Utah , USA ) is a steel roller coaster of the Tower Launch Coaster model from the manufacturer Zierer Rides , which opened on June 1, 2007. It is currently (as of November 2019) the only delivery of the model.

The track, whose rails are green and the supports are silver and golden yellow, has a sloping curve, a zero-g-roll , two tunnels and a lift hill with LSM drive. The equipment of the track is unusual for Zierer tracks, as well as for the park itself and is classified as particularly extreme due to the g-force of 4.8 g.

The drive

At the beginning of the journey, the route leads into a tunnel before the cars are shot up the 34 m high and 90 ° steep lift hill at 89 km / h, run over the top and then descend on the other side with a gradient of 90 °. After the descent, there is an airtime hill and a steeply sloping curve. The subsequent zero-g-roll leads to the intermediate brake after a few turns. After a few more curves and a helix , the route runs through a second tunnel and then hits the final brake.

Trains

Wicked owns six cars. Eight people (two rows of four) can be seated in each car.
