Wicked is a launched steel roller coaster at Lagoon in Farmington, Utah. It opened on June 1, 2007. The park describes it as launching riders up a 110-foot tower before sending them through a course at speeds of up to 55 mph.
The coaster was built by Zierer to a design by Ing.-Buro Stengel. RCDB notes two linear synchronous motor (LSM) launches, one horizontal and one vertical, which sends the train straight up the 90-degree tower. The layout includes a zero-g roll, its single inversion, and has 2,050.5 feet of track. A ride lasts 1 minute 46 seconds. Each train has six cars of eight riders, four across in two rows. RCDB gives the cost as $10 million.
Riders must be at least 46 inches tall; those between 46 and 50 inches must ride with a supervising companion in a designated seat.
