This coaster will be the centerpiece of the Yuta Earth Tribe
section of the park and will turn the world upside down twice with a
vertical loop and an inline twist.

Eric and Molly Bertch, who are the creative force behind Lost Island,
were a little surprised not only to find out that there was a whole
world of coaster enthusiasts that they didn't know about out there but
it was also a shocker when photos of their park under construction
started showing up on social media spoiling some of the surprise and
magic they have been working on creating.

Listening to both of them talk about their vision for Lost Island their
goal is to not just create rides or experiences but to be able to take
guests on an adventure through a completely new world that they have
created.

To myself it is really obvious that with the rides, the story, the
interactive theming down to the most intricate detail of what they have
planned is what they are really doing with the Lost Island Theme Park is
using the medium of a theme park to create a real work of art.

Of course what they are developing is a business but they way they are
executing and intending it is to be something creative, different, and
new. It is not a cheap theme slapped on some rides. What
they are trying to do really is a game changer for a park that isn't
coming from Disney or Universal.
