APRIL 29, 2009
One of Ashley's friends, Jessica, invited Ashley to be one of the first kids to ride the Jumping Dragon Ride at Lagoon. Since Jessica's dad is in management at Lagoon, he and a few other key employees were able to invite their children and a few friends to ride the new ride. The Jumping Dragon is the newest ride at Lagoon in Farmington. Each time Lagoon buys a new ride for the amusement park, they hold a media day and invite all of the local news stations and newspapers to take pictures and feature the ride on the local news. Ashley & Jessica were interviewed by local news reporters and Lagoon gave each one of the kids a free lunch. Ashley was thrilled to miss a few hours of school and had a blast.

The $2.3 million ride features a 40-foot Chinese pagoda and can carry 36 riders at a time. Ashley & Jessica are on the second row in this picture. (Photo was published in Deseret News)
