The first I ever heard of Lost Island was when news broke on
social media that a small water park in Iowa had purchased Kanonen from Liseberg
in Sweden. What was fascinating was that all of the rumors were
that the Lost Island Water Park was really a middleman to disguise the
park the coaster was really going to.
When the park was announced though I sat up and really started to pay
attention as it is not like a brand new $100 million + theme park is
getting built just three and a half hours away from you. The Lost
Island Theme Park has been something I was excited about as soon as I
heard about it, I got even more excited after my
first construction tour and even more excited after
my
second construction tour and today both Bond and I were ready to go
as soon as we walked up to the gate of Lost Island.
We had our tickets and more importantly we had the Lost Island Adventure
Guide loaded on our phones and ready to experience all the different
layers of storytelling that has been the basis for Lost Island.
Lost Island is not just a park, it is not just some rides, it is not
just a theme, it is not just an app. Lost island is all of that
tied together to create a story where you get to play a part.
Lost Island is like Disneyland, Pokemon Go, mythology, and your standard
theme park all
rolled into one.
