Over 80 years old, the Lagoon Roller Coaster remains one of the most popular attractions at the Park and is one of only a few wooden coasters between Denver and the West Coast. In 1953 a fire destroyed the front of this coaster. It was rebuilt the following year, and sections of the roller coaster are rebuilt from year to year. To ensure the safety of this ride, the morning begins very early for some people. The tracks are walked and thoroughly checked over each day before being put into use for the public.

The Coaster was designed by John Miller, who also designed coasters at Coney Island. The wooden roller coaster consists of two trains. Each train is made up of four cars, with six passengers to a car. In operation at Lagoon, the capacity for this coaster is 1,920 passengers per hour, per train.

Roller Coaster is included with Ride and Season Passports.
