Default Wicked: the newest roller coaster at Lagoon...

or, as my 5 year old calls it, "The Goon".



I definitely need to ride it.

I'm personally offended that they would name a ride "wicked". It sends the wrong message to the kids. Why don't they just name it "unbridled carnality"? I'm now officially boycotting the goon.

I can appreciate that you would boycott it. It certainly could cause one to wonder what evil is lurking at the park.

My wife's brother said they should have named it "Not for wusses."

How did they ever get through correlation? Maybe they're trying to cater to the transplants ... you know, the "Mormons from Utah".

Well, Lagoon is open on Sundays, so I doubt the Church had any say in it's naming.

But then, I bet it'll be the most popular ride during GA day there.

It's basically a county fair that's open 7 months a year.
