Iceaxe posted something like this 3 years ago, but I just ran across this "canyoneering" video and thought, wow that is a crazy looking pool.... then I watched the video and it all made sense.

The death of a Bountiful girl Friday is apparently not the first related to Lagoon's wooden roller coaster.
At least two other people have died in roller coaster-related accidents at the amusement park. Ernest Henry Howe, 20, of Ogden, fell as he apparently attempted to stand in a car atop the coaster's first and tallest hill in 1934. James Young Hess, 23, of Farmington, died when he was struck by a car while working on scaffolding on the coaster in 1946.Howe struck several cross members of the coaster's trestle as he fell, Elaine Revell, a niece of the man and a resident of Bountiful, told the Deseret News. State death records say that Howe did die in a roller coaster accident on Aug. 20, 1934, according to John Brockert, state director of vital records and health statistics.

Funny thing is it's located close to the pyrenees. Whithin a reasonable driving distance you got the real deal.
Although maybe they're better of in the park, it will keep the real canyons less crowded
