Park News - (10/21/11) The latest buzz from Lagoon indicates that the park is thinking of removing the Top Eliminator attraction to make room for a new larger attraction (ie: coaster) in the future.
(7/27/11) In one of the most unusual stories for the week, a 19-year-old Lagoon employee was arrested (and fired) at the park on Sunday night after it was reported that he had assaulted three park guests. According to the report, he went to tell three young teens who were getting in line for the Samari ride that the park was closing. An augment began which escalated into a physical fight, though no one is sure who started it.
(6/24/11) Apparently staff from KMG were touring Lagoon on Monday as they were Tweeting up a storm all about the park. Could Lagoon be in talks with KMG about a new ride for next season?
2012 - New Ride / Air Race - Rumor - (10/21/11) While we have previously seen pictures of coaster track on site at Lagoon for over a year now, there is no indication that the park is planning on installing this for the 2012 season. So far the only rumor for 2012 I’ve seen yet says the park is looking at a Zamperla Air Race ride, which I have to admit is pretty darn thrilling looking in it’s own right if true. Check out the video of the one installed at Luna Park in Coney Island.
 2013/2014 - New Thrill Coaster - Rumor - (10/27/11) I’m told that Lagoon’s next coaster will be in the 200 foot tall range and feature inversions, and is intended to take over the Top Eliminator location. Don’t look for it to open until 2013 or even 2014 at this point however.
