The layout of the coaster
Spider is a Maurer Söhne spinning roller coaster located at Lagoon in Farmington, Utah. The ride features spinning ride vehicles that can seat two sets of two passengers, facing in opposite directions.The roller coaster made by Maurer Söhne of Germany and was installed at Lagoon in 2003,but shut down on opening day due to a wheel malfunction. The ride re-opened one week later and has been running regularly since.
In the 2016 season, Spider was repainted and the cement below the coaster was replaced. The Spiders track was repainted red and black as opposed to respectively, pink and purple.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.
