The Spider is a steel spinning roller coaster made by Maurer Söhne of Germany. The ride is located at the Lagoon Amusement Park in Farmington, Utah. The Spider was installed at Lagoon in 2003,[1] but shut down on opening day due to a wheel malfunction.[citation needed] The ride re-opened one week later and has been running regularly since.[citation needed]
The Spider features spinning ride vehicles that can seat two sets of two passengers, facing in opposite directions.[1] The vehicles feature the name of "The Spider and the Fly" for that was what this coaster was going to be named. During development of this ride, the named was shortened to "The Spider" because of unknown reasons. The spinning vehicles were already painted before the name change, thus has the developing name.
