    I heard this park had a rough first season, and I really hope its second season is going better. Between the cool coasters, the high quality dark ride that already won a golden ticket award, and the themed lands based around the classic elements this place looks great. I hope it continues to grow and become a fantastic place over time.

    As someone who studied logistics in college, this is a brilliant ride and get for Lost Island, not only is it cheaper to purchase a used ride but it more than likely saved them time in designing among other hidden costs. Not to mention it preserves the ride as well which saves on resources among other things!

      The vecoma SLC coaster is a cheap coaster coz it's an awful ride experience. And as the manufacturer isn't making this model anymore parts are going to become harder and more expensive to find. In the long term costing the parks more money. It's the same with wood coasters. Cheap to build but expensive to maintain.

      If you even did 2 minutes of research on the ride model youd know that this isn’t something that should be preserved, working on these or even just riding them is a nightmare for everyone involved.

    It might be because ive only ridden a coaster once and am not used to them but for *me* it was a bit shaky, it was extremely fun though (albiet i could hardly move my body, anxiety stuff most likely), but i dont think coasters are for me- it was really fun though, the drop tower was real fun too, ive lived here my entire life and its awesome to see Lost Island expand to an amusement park as well
