How Much Has Lagoon Changed? (1991 vs 2026 Reaction)

What was Lagoon like 35 years ago? Join us for a very special trip down memory lane! 🎢 We found our very first park video from 1991 and decided to sit down and react to it together. It is incredible to see how much has changed at Lagoon—from the vintage rides and old-school Midway to the fashion and, of course, a much younger Ami and Vlad! In this video, we share the 1991 footage along with our modern-day commentary. We talk about the rides that are still there, the ones that are long gone, and what it was like exploring Utah’s favorite park decades before we started @wonderlanders. In this video: 1991 Footage of the Pioneer Village and Midway. The "Classic" Roller Coaster in its prime. Ami and Vlad’s reaction to their younger selves. Comparing the 1991 vibe to the 2026 season.
