The Yuta Realm at Lost Island Theme Park, Waterloo, Iowa

After our time in the Awa Water Realm the next stop was the Yuta Earth Realm.

Kukui Station was something that I really wasn't expecting.

What I wasn't expecting was extremely fun bumper cars. These are "Spin Zone" bumper cars that can go forwards or backwards or spin. There is some great bumping action on Kukui but there is an added feature to this ride. There is a button on the ride operators console that if hit makes all of the cars start spinning. You could be just about to nail someone you care about and if they hit the spin button around and around you go.

My only complaint is as this ride is a "off the shelf" ride the German techno music that plays each time the ride is in motion really doesn't fit the vibe of Lost Island. They need the cars to play some uplifting orchestral music like the theme music to the Jurassic Park movie soundtracks.

Totara market is Lost Island's second sit down indoor restaurant. Looking at the menu it is a tough call between heading here for a meal or staying at the Whalebone Grill.
