Who is designing the ride? The concept looks very interesting in a good way

The park designed it and they are building it like they did with Bombora.

I don't think it processed for me until now, it's a 208 foot coaster with a 116 degree drop, that thing is going to be insane!

So yeah

Put a gold star next to Lagoon, they are officially on the map. And the best thing about them is they design their own rides, my experience has been awesome with park designed rides! *waves to The Beast

The only thing I dislike is the fugly tower building to enclose the lift - I'm very curious to see the rest of the layout. It's interesting that Hansa Park is also building a 200'+ coaster with an enclosed vertical lift for 2015. I don't think that one will invert though.

Oh yea Karnan is going to invert. It will have one inversion I think. Also Lagoon has always been on the map for the Zierer tower coaster they have with the vertical launch. Honestly though, 200+ft at 116 degrees. That is terrifying.

^ I agree. That height with that speed is freakin' ridiculous. I also think it shouldn't have the enclosed lift.

This will be really cool. Definitely excited to see what's going on with this and Karnan. Honestly though, this will definitely have one of those speed control fins over most of the crest of the drop and I almost just prefer like a good 100 degree free drop without speed control. Especially at this height. But it's going to be amazing either way I think. I'm intrigued!

Are the trains/track fabricated in house or are they using another company's trains/track?

Track and trains are not being fabricated "in house" per se. The trains are being made by ART engineering out of Germany, and the track and supports are being made by Intermountain Lift.

For those who don't know Intermountain lift apparently did work for early S&S and Premier

I think this was supposed to have an elevator lift in the building. I guess they must of changed it.

I think it's like the dual elevator lift Intamin calls, on Fahrenheit.

That's not an elevator lift. That's a vertical lift.

The Intamin water coaster lifts look amazing when they have color like on Divertical. Divertical's lift is beautiful IMO but Pilgrim's Plunge was all out ugly.

Elevator lifts are a horrible idea. Pilgrim's Plunge can rot in the depths of hell. As much as I love Holiday World, asking Intamin to build a prototype such as that, was the worst investment they could have ever made.
