Things That Happen When I'm Not Looking

When I was young, growing up in Ogden Utah one of my favorite fun spots was Lagoon Amusement Park. It is located in Farmington, Utah between Ogden and SLC. I loved the merry-go-round, roller coaster, swiming pool, Tilt-A-Whirl and Rock-O-Plane. Yesterday I was searching for  a photo of a roller coaster when I learned that the original "White" Roller Coaster at Lagoon now has lots of company in the form of other roller coasters. The original is the only wood coaster at the park.The others are made of steal.
The first photo in this post is of the other roller coasters at Lagoon


It looks like lots of variety and styles to these roller coasters.  The last time I went to Lagoon was the summer of 1969 I believe. Many changes have occurred at Lagoon in nearly 44 years. It would be fun to go there again sometime as a observer with regards to many of these roller coaster rides. My stomach doesn't like those kinds of thrills.
