I'm going to Lagoon today - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Today is my works Lagoon day. Normally we only get to go after 4:00, but I'm taking the whole day off to bum around and go to Lagoon and have some fun, as well as take care of a few things around the house.

It feels nice having a day off... and it's only 7:45 am.

How does Lagoon compare to Six Flags? I've never been to Lagoon.

Picture your average Wal-Mart customer, then picture hundreds of them on theme park rides. That's Lagoon.

A more apt description than SteelBlue's cannot be found.

Lagoon is fun when all the 6th graders in your school go there for the end of year celebration. Other than that, it should be avoided at all costs.

There are some other circumstances that I hope to be able to discuss at a later time that make me glad that today is my work's Lagoon day.

I actually haven't been to any amusement park since I got home from my mission, so I'm a little excited to go and ride a roller coaster, no matter how ghetto they are, or how trashy the client el is.

Are employee's families invited? Or is it strictly a work thing?

All employees and family. I'm taking the whole day off... the company only gets from 3:30 off.

My division took us to six flags a few weeks ago for "team building" but it was just the 10 of us in the division, and no families. 8 ladies and 2 guys.

Several years ago I was working for Fidelity Investments here in Dallas. They have enough employees that they rented out the whole park one evening for just us. That was a blast because the lines were really short. Good times.

I've got a good friend out here that works for Booze Allen. Same deal, they rent the whole park out. Much better than sharing it with a bunch of 9th graders.
