I forgot that they recently added the theme park onto the waterpark. I went to the waterpark as a kid. Oasis in the middle of cornland, really. Finally something to compete with Adventureland? Hope they both stick around for years to come.
Right?! It’s such a nice, new, clean, and fun theme park too! We were pretty blown away. Definitely a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere! 🙌 The music all around the park was very fitting and really added some nice ambience throughout. If they keep adding more coasters - this could be a top theme park in the US! Thanks so much for watching 😊
That’s what I’ve been hearing and seeing now too! A single rail would fit perfectly in the Mura section and the wild mode would honestly fit great in any of the other 3, but Yuta and Udara have coasters already, so I could see Awa being a good area since it’s a bit more chill like the wild mode would be. Definitely sounds like exciting things on the horizon for lost island 🙌
@@keepingupindisney There's an old master plan floating around with expansion pad ideas that had a spinning family coaster next to Matugani that I could easily see being used for the Moose. And given the new plush/book combo this season and the sporadically appearing puppet version, I'd imagine it'd be themed after the Yik Yik horned fox creatures.
@@FigmentJedi I heard about that too, and that would be amazing. A wild moose themed to Yik Yik for the Yuta section would be amazing. I could totally see it happening 🙌 The single rail was officially announced as Fire Runner for the Mura section, so hopefully some of these other rumors will come true too!
@@CJGsquared I saw the raptor announcement!!! So exciting! I really hoped that was coming to Mura and it’ll be a perfect fit. Hopefully we’ll hear some more exciting announcements from lost island soon enough 🙌 so excited to see the park grow!
Keeping up in Waterloo! ✨ Omg you guys, you are living our theme park dreams out there in the Midwest. We've been dying to visit Lost Island ever since it opened. I love that you had so much space to move around and meet and greet with the characters...but I hate that a park this beautiful and well-crafted is so empty two years after its opening! 🥲 Hopefully this video will help to bring more travelers out to explore the mythical realms of the Island. I can't even deal with how every single ride has such immersive theming! And all those water features....ugh, it's so beautiful. Matugani reminds me of Storm Runner at Hersheypark, similar trains and layout but infinitely better themed. Katie tried one of those Gerstlauer Sky Fly rides at Toverland, and had just as much trouble as you did trying to get it to flip and turn. Rokava is also very unique in the US, only a few rides of that type are left in operation! Glad you had such a great time there! I really hope that this park survives the next couple of years so that we have an opportunity to visit. 🥲 Thanks for sharing, you guys!
It’s only a 4 hour drive and we’ve wanted to go for years too, so we figured it was finally time!!! With it being a pretty reasonable drive, we definitely wanna go back. We’re committed to exploring more Midwest theme parks that are in the vicinity, and definitely plan to hit the likes of CP, holiday world, michigans adventure, Adventureland, silver dollar city, etc. as soon as we can! Lost Island had been a “bucket list” park that was very easy to make happen in reality, so I’m glad this was the year! It really is so beautiful in the park. So much space, so much theming, characters and story and interactions are all fantastic. The app was actually super fun too and I really enjoyed getting to play quizzes to learn more about the lore, collecting badges, playing their versions of angry birds and temple run, and even more! The app has a really cool tracking system that automatically logs rides and inversions and ride times and lengths for you and all the sort to keep upping your badge collection and unlocking avatars. Even since being back I’ve been on the app playing the games and unlocking avatars and leveling up. Finally got the Matugani avatar with some cool badges and have now reached level 11! Can’t wait to go back and collect more treasures in the app too and unveil the full story. We really hope the park gets more traffic and attention too, it really deserves it. The realms are all so well thought out and put together. With some expansion and continuing to keep the theme and bones of what make the park special, it will truly be incredible. The immersive theming in each ride and how they fit together so well to the sections of the park and the overall story is truly impressive. It does sound like they’re planning on expanding and continuing to grow though, rather than stay stagnant, and I think that will bring more people out to visit once it gets some traction or the next “hot” coaster or ride. The park made a hot sauce and went around asking people if it tasted like a “raptor or a moose” and has dropped heavy hints in their socials showing RMC blueprints on their tables… it sounds like a raptor or wild moose is confirmed for next year. My best bet and guess is the raptor will be the “hot” new attraction in the Mura section. The typical red and yellow scheme we see on the single rails would fit absolutely perfectly with everything else. Matugani does remind me a bit of storm runner, just a bit less intense of a launch and the coaster overall is smaller scale. Storm runner is still a top coaster I hope to ride some day, but Matugani was another I was super excited to get 9 rides on in a day - really can’t ask for more! It’s also cool knowing it came from Sweden and has been given new life. It was cool getting a ride on Nopuko too and getting to experience the rare SLC with a helix finish, and knowing it came from South Africa, but it was not the best coaster overall 😅 the ride ops and park employees at every coaster and ride were just top notch and so nice too. I must not have updated, but we did the sky fly again a couple more times and I was able to get the prime spinning seat and actually hit my record of 5 spins in one ride!!! Not too much to write home about, but I successfully did some flips and it was cool! There are 2 specific seats on the outside fronts that are ideal for spinning and make it much easier. It’s near impossible in some of the other seats just because of the physics. Rokava was definitely fun and the theming made it even more exciting. I’m really hoping to go back with a go pro next time and record all the rides, because Rokava really was made next level with the menacing rock demon in the back staring at you while completely upside down and just watching him flip you around at his will. It really was an experience 😂 We really hope you guys get the chance to visit too, as it’s an awesome park and we hope it gets more support and does really well! With what sounds like some awesome potential new attractions coming, it sounds like the park still has hopes to become a staple in the theme park game. And we truly think it could be 🙌 it just has such a cool story too and is really a place that we want to continue supporting! Thanks so much for watching and leaving us a comment 😊

Why the heck does Iowa have a better theme park than any where near Portland, Seattle, Or Vancouver? lol.
13:47 Hey ori music! Oddly fitting.

I heard they might be getting an RMC Raptor next year. Then a RMC wild moose coaster.

The Raptor is now confirmed. It's supposed to open for the 2025 season. No official word on a Wild Moose yet, but it would fit the park very well
