If you’ve ever heard of Cannibal, then you already know Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah isn’t afraid to go bold. That towering steel giant put Lagoon on the coaster map in a big way—and now, all eyes are on what’s set to arrive in 2026. Spoiler alert: it looks like something BIG is on the way.
Coaster Chit Chat has already dropped some speculation, and judging by construction activity, on-site components, and the timing of Lagoon’s teasing… the hype feels real. Lagoon is preparing to officially reveal the attraction on Friday, October 10th, 2025. Fans are buzzing that this may be a swinging ride with a Bavarian theme—a style we don’t usually see in the U.S. It’s different, it’s bold, and it’s very Lagoon.
A New Bar at Lagoon
Yes, you read that right. Lagoon has officially obtained a liquor license for a brand-new bar coming to the park. This isn’t just a drink stand—it’s a full-on establishment, tucked inside a rebuilt version of an old carousel building that reportedly suffered fire damage years back.
Here’s the twist: the bar is going upstairs, on the second floor, and will feature two themed rooms. Even cooler, it’s going to be run as a private club, open exclusively to season passholders and VIPs. Think of it as a tucked-away lounge for Lagoon’s most loyal fans.
The Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverages Services (DABS) approved the license in September after a lively discussion. Rob Hansen, who presented the application, explained the plan in detail—clarifying that it will be a strictly 21+ space, with no alcohol allowed to leave the building. In other words, it’s a controlled environment that offers something new for adults without changing the family-friendly atmosphere elsewhere in the park.
Lagoon’s bar is slated to open by the end of March 2026, just in time for the new season. And honestly? The idea of grabbing a drink in a themed lounge between coaster laps feels like the perfect addition.
The 2026 Picture
So what’s the bigger picture shaping up to be? Here’s what we know:
- Confirmed: Lagoon is opening a new two-room, passholder-exclusive bar in spring 2026.
- Speculated, and looking very likely: A massive Bavarian-themed swinging attraction, with details set to be revealed October 10th, 2025.
Lagoon may not have the same corporate resources as a Disney or Universal, but that’s part of what makes it such a fascinating park to watch. When Lagoon builds, they build big—and they build uniquely.
With Cannibal, they proved they can make world-class thrills on their own terms. With the upcoming bar, they’re adding a touch of adult sophistication. And with this rumored Bavarian swinging attraction? Lagoon might just be redefining itself again.
2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year for Utah’s one-of-a-kind amusement park. Stay tuned, because the countdown to October 10th is officially on.
