I don't think I can actually say that Lost Island has improved this year. I don't want to be a hater, and I get it, but I definitely was disappointed with my revisit. Consequently, I can confidently say that this was an accurate recreation, but I'm not sure if that's a good thing!
Next video I'll try not to accidentally turn off horizon lock & auto brightness ;)

Such an interesting theme park. I was shocked when I found out they were actually building building a theme park in Waterloo. The population of Waterloo/Cedar Falls just isn't enough to support an amusement park, which is evident by the low crowds. And tourists aren't exactly looking at Iowa as a state they'd like to spend their vacation in. For the city, I'd like to see the park succeed. But I 100% think it's going to be an uphill battle. Having multiple rides closed due to what I'm assuming is staffing issues isn't going to help the park at all. Even worse, if not a lot of people are going to the park, it'll make it hard for them to earn enough money to really add many new attractions. Opening day, you'd think the would want to make a good impression, but it just doesn't look like that'd be the case for anyone who went for the first time. I wish Lost Island the best though!
This is literally my EXACT sentiment around the park. I absolutely want it to succeed, but that doesn't mean I haven't had a kinda rough time both times I went!
I’m sure it is from a skid loader. I’m guessing they used it for any of the landscaping. That’s kind of what it looks like to me. It will go away eventually.
You have to remember that this is a family owned park not a corp. They do have plans for more coasters and other rides.
I actually am very familiar with their business presence! I unfortunately just don't think they will make enough money to bring those ideas to the park. I hope to be proven wrong though
They have had a lot better attendance already this year. They spent more money on advertising and it has definitely helped. The waterpark they built about 24 yrs ago did the exact same thing. It took more than 5 years to start breaking even but eventually word caught on and they are doing awesome.
@@t.j._kerr I also saw that they are getting some group events in there which I also think will help a looooot if local companies do outings there! And schools! Anything to spread the word
By the way thanks for the replies and I did go ahead and subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
At 26:53ish you were passed by one of the owners I believe. Guy in straw hat. He would have answered all your questions and probably laughed with you about the tire marks. One suggestion I would make about your video is to give feedback on the rides you just rode. You had none. People look for that info not just nit picking everything. anyways good video and thanks for getting Lost Island out there for others to see.
yeah! I actually cut out a part of the footage afterwards where we talked about how that was him! I wasn't trying to complain to him that day though, he was having a nice conversation! Also I'm sure he's aware of everything I was experiencing. Nothing I saw was pretty unique to me.
My videos are more about sharing the experience 1:1 instead of always reviewing. I imagine I didn't have a lot to say about the rides since they weren't new to me
but thank you for the feedback!
I agree. Definitely getting the word out and more people there. I also believe when you guys went on opening day there were still some schools in session. I drive by the park almost everyday and you can definitely tell that attendance is up. I’m not too worried about the park failing. The owners are an amazing family and they pour their heart and souls into this community. They don’t know the meaning of failure.
I swear to god this park is a money laundering front
😂 nooooo they definitely are trying to provide a good experience and definitely treat their very real employees well! it's just in such a weird location for what it is offering!
Yeah just a little picky about the tire tracks. lol
they actually drove me crazy and if that rubber is burned in, it'll be hard to get off :/
What is that app called
Lost Island Adventure Guide!
Not sure there is any reason for me to go at this point.
I really am sad to say it but like.. as much as I want them to succeed, it just really isn't set up for it. The fact that I could get basically every feeling I had about the park into this video is not necessarily a good thing. So I encourage people to go but.. for what, you know?
@@ghostercoasting Iowa isn't on my radar. They would need something like Aries Force One or something to get Thoosies out, but they need more than that.
@@ThemeParkPlunge my personal favorite request is a S&S Axis, but if they don't have money for shade they certainly don't have money for that.
@@ghostercoasting yeah S and S doesn’t seem to have to many coasters around my area
Lost island and Adventureland are both not far from other major parks. If you're even in the Midwest I don't know why you would not go to those two parks. Monster and adventureland is a good coaster. Matugani at Lost Island is a good coaster. And yes I've been on my share of coasters at the large corporate parks. There is also a pretty amazing dark ride at Lost Island.
