Lost Island Theme Park Vlog June 2023

Join us for a visit to the NEW Lost Island Theme Park Located in Iowa, USA! In this vlog from the 10th theme park of our USA Road Trip, we discover everything that this heavily themed park has to offer, including on ride POV's! We ride Matugani, Nopuko Air Coaster, Skybourne and many other awesome rides, all set within a beautifully themed new park. We also experience a spectacular interactive dark ride, known as Volkanu: Quest for the Golden Idol!

So glad this park is being advertised by the coaster community. It might be off to a slow start, but I really want to see it thriving.

[@AudreyMealiff]

It's so lovely, isn't it!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great day!

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

I really hope this park starts getting in bigger crowds and becomes a proper destination for the general public. It looks so fantastic and like they put in so much effort to make the place pop. It's absolutely delightful to see the praise given by the community and I just hope it spreads even more!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We really hope so!

[@JustGettinBy1321]

It's so cool to see the birth of a theme park! The owners did a fantastic job with planning & designing, & it shows. They could've just slapped some rides in there & called it a day, but instead they created an immersive sensory experience. I definitely see Disney's influence in the attention to detail. Not gonna lie, I'm a little worried for this quiet park in the middle of Iowa. But I do hope Lost Island is like The Little Engine That Could, because it really does look like a great little park with the potential to be a great big park if they can hold on long enough. This channel showcasing them will certainly help.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park!

[@jeremycovelli]

Man I hope this park takes off, that area of the country needs this!

[@LAFFINGOUTLOUD1]

The sounds that Charlotte was making on that SLC were both funny and terrifying 😂

[@sparkjr2039]

Probably the same as I made when I had my first ride. That first inversion is terrible.

[@CivilianSatellite]

Saw you guys walking around the park a few times that day. I'm glad that the weather held off and you both had a great time. Thanks for encouraging the audience to come visit the park. It really is a unique and ambitious gem in the US theme park market, and can certainly use all of the attention it can get.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. We had a great time!

[@rikspector]

Shawn and Charlotte, It seems that they are building for the future, a lovely place with so much potential. In five years or more this will grow into a great park. It's easy to forget that a Child's perspective is at a much lower height, so things seem bigger and more impressive. Shawn, do you remember how things looked from your early point of view? Sometimes when I'm with children I try to squat down to get a feel what it's like for them, it helps me to appreciate how differently they see a world that we've forgotten. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@David-R-Hall]

Sad to read a lot of negative comments from people saying how the park ‘is gonna fail’, etc. You’re lucky to have a brand spanking new park, especially themed to such a high level. That dark ride is world class! Maybe go and support it, instead of being so negative. It’s definitely got Toverland vibes. A GCI would be great here or a next gen Vekoma. I hope the park does well and can reach its full potential over time.

[@AnnEckhart]

Thank you! The social media trolls have been very cruel. And none of them have actually visited the park. You really have to see it in person to appreciate everything it has to offer!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We wish this park the best of success!

[@goldcoastparkaudio8034]

This park looks amazing! I’m so glad you guys are promoting it as it definitely deserves bigger crowds. I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in the US!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great park!

[@DisDadTV]

Did not realize your travels were taking you to Lost Island. Hoping to check it out when i visit family in IA this summer

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great day!

[@Colman91]

At 47:47 when they go into the kids side of the park, the music in the background is from Stardew Valley!

[@KuroRiot]

Yes i noticed that! HaHa! Its been everywhere since CA said all his songs were free to use lol

[@user-bl8is9gd3c]

Love living vicariously by watching your adventures :-) keep on riding! Be great if you did a “wrap-up” vlog of your trip with your favourites and recommendations.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@carliee4556]

Wow! I haven’t seen a printed map in so long. Love that

[@loveunitedhateglazer7033]

collected them as a kidb got hundreds from orlando, miss them

[@jennifers8223]

it always makes me laugh when charlotte go's on water rides

[@MoominJude]

They must be losing shed loads of money, hope more people start to go there. Good that you're giving them a positive review.

[@AnnEckhart]

This is my home park - I live 10 minutes away. Attendance has been steadily increasing every day!

[@MinkyBoodle44]

@@AnnEckhart That makes me so happy to hear! I want to see this place thrive so badly!

[@MoominJude]

@@AnnEckhart oh good

[@simtanic8]

I really hope this park takes off. The theming is nice and operations look fantastic. They really put a lot of love into it. Hope I can visit here someday!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@jasonhamelin2859]

I love all things tiki, so i was sold the moment i saw the grand entrance. I love that this is a family owned park, and the work they've done to make a fully themed experience just looks great. I really hope they have busier days ahead, thanks for bringing this park to my attention!

[@essy1able]

This seems like a great little park with SO much potential and room for expansion. The theming is fantastic. I look forward to seeing this park grow over the years. 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We loved it!

[@Jay-qc5nv]

This park has great potential especially since they're investing into the park's theme and lore. I just hope they get enough attention 🙏

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@milanverhulst6578]

Only watching the review for 5 minutes and I can already tell this is going to be my favourite so far for the USA road trip, because I LOVE themeparks

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Enjoy!

[@nicoledarling9646]

Thanks for another great video, I love your attitudes, even when you're not happy with a certain ride or park, you are always polite and explain to us why without antics. Can't say the same for some of the commenters here. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@Dan-pv7cu]

The way you both said oh my god at the exact same time going into that first inversion on the SLC has me crying of laughter 😂😂😂😂

[@JakeCoasters]

This park really needs a massive stand out coaster to attract people to it, maybe an RMC?

[@launches.loops.and.lapbars]

Arieforce moment

[@bomb3rhhh176]

Zadra clone

[@itznathz9496]

Chill It just opened

[@itznathz9496]

They gotta be careful with how well the park does before they can invest something that big

[@Tomneom]

They wana build a Vekoma launched flyer, so that will do it!

[@theunseensaint1351]

when the seatbelt hit the camera on the matugani pov i nearly had a heart attack lmao XD

[@AudreyMealiff]

That purple SLC looked beautiful from the ground, gorgeous colourscheme but then, oww that jerk and rut the coaster hit in the first section and your pained reactions reminded me of my one and ONLY ride on Infusion!! 😂😂😮

[@user-gq8fq8ji8o]

16:50 the way charlotte said 'better' had me dying 😆😆🤣🤣

[@CherryBerry48]

wow that animatronic in volkanu looked so real!! oh i am back to watch and pause!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s awesome!

[@openroadtravels181]

This park is a massive contender for a new gen Vekoma like Fonix.

[@brent_in_aussie]

How incredible it is to think of a park and build it from scratch… thanks for sharing ! I hope it succeeds

[@beardown6574]

New park very nice theme throughout. The launch coaster looked fun. But that dark ride looked the best. Very interactive and designed well.

[@theweakestlink2278]

Never heard of this park but looks like it has a lot of potential. Going to be interesting to see what they do with this place in the future. Its already pretty nice but looks like they have left plenty of space for future expansion.

[@sparkjr2039]

They seem to have a lot planned for future expansion but the people have to come first. Their water park is always busy but advertising hasn't been top notch yet.

[@theweakestlink2278]

@@sparkjr2039 I agree. It seems like a nice park but there is barely anyone there. You'd think in that part of the US there wouldn't be too much competition. Sounds like they would benefit from better advertising.

[@sparkjr2039]

@@theweakestlink2278 They very much need better advertising. There are people in the area that say they don't know it's open. Adventureland is 2 hours away. Valley fair is 3 hours away. SF Great America is 4 hours. World's of fun is 5. Nothing really of the themed type. Closest would probably be Silver dollar city which is about 9 hours I think. They have billboards around in Minnesota, Wisconsin. Omaha, Nebraska and other cities in Iowa but I don't really pay attention to billboards so I'm guessing others don't either. They need some KZbin ads or something. I see Adventureland ads on here all the time but I've not once seen one for Lost Island on here. I'd do a lot of things differently but I'm not the owners so it's not my choice.

[@garyskippracing]

What a great looking park. If the park prospers and grows with the same level of care, investment and theming I believe it’ll be world class. Apart from the caterpillar obviously 😉

[@stephaniesuthers5635]

It such a nice looking park with lots of potential. I really hope attendance picks up, so they can survive long enough to reach that potential. It’s so rare that a new ground up park opens in the US, especially one that is family owned.

[@jamesbrunicardi1644]

Love your content! I always look forward to a new Theme Park Worldwide video!

[@NickOswald]

I’m from Iowa and have been to the water park a few times before but had NO IDEA they opened a theme park too! Definitely will have to check it out.

[@tarahvenezia6312]

Lost island is a beautiful theme patk i love the colors that they choose specially the purple color my favorite color. I love you guys and have fun and be safe.

Happy Travels! Can't wait to see Charlotte's reaction to Holiday World! Say hello to Santa and have a meal in the Plymouth Rock/Thanksgiving restaurant!

[@marandazilk3175]

My Dad, Mike Zilk, works here. I am so excited to be coming this weekend. I didn't get out last year for medical reasons but I'm fully recovered and am looking forward to fulfilling a long time dream to ride a Ferris Wheel. Thank you Birch family for all you have done for our city!

wow that first one so much fun i love pov's!!!

[@gbfan1188]

After going to all these massive parks the last week and focusing on the coasters, its nice to see you do a "full park" experience...flat rides, gift shops, going through the themeing. This vlog felt very unrushed and i love it.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It all depends on the time of park really, this is a full theme park instead of an amusement park!

[@rickdeboer5857]

Finished cooking and now have dinner and look the flog off today....... Enjoying my meal and watching a new park and coasters ....How lovely to see the big smile of enjoying youre trip is amazing ......Thanks for the video and all the info about the park or atraction/coaster.Can't wait for the next park video .....Good work Greets from the Netherlands

Looks like this park has great potential. Here’s hoping they have great success as it looks like they are really caring about theming and immersive experiences.

[@alexanderwhittle7671]

This park looks super-impressive! I think that it could really use a family thrill coaster that's well-themed. Maybe a family launch coaster?

[@alfieratcliffe8516]

Love the vids Shaun and Charlotte been watching for a while now and I have been to mt Olympus like u

[@MyBravo101]

Looks like a great park. They have a Zamperla Disk'o Coaster. Just so you the names of the two types: more compact U shaped Zamperla Disk'o (one without the hump) Zamperla Disk'o Coaster longer W shaped track (with hump) Great review keep up the good work. 😀

[@jennifers8223]

i always like it when you can do the POV'S hpoe you enjoyed your day

[@jonny-b4954]

Looks like a fantastic little park with tons of potential. Hopefully they get more attendance to spur further investment. Doubt they're making a profit on days like this. Probably should have transplanted a few large trees in though. Maybe also built 1 stand out coaster. But they probably went with the dark ride as the stand out. Great video as always.

Let’s hope this place survives 5 more years to see that landscape grow 😂

They’ve planted nearly 40,000 trees, shrubs, and flowers! We are all patiently waiting them to grow, but they definitely are. Last year they were little seedlings; this year you definitely see them coming along.

[@sparkjr2039]

@@TD75 You can only transplant trees that are so big and have them survive. You can't go dig up a 20 ft tall tree and replant. It most likely wouldn't survive that stress.

[@theodoretoth2884]

What a great park ! The room For expansion is awesome! I don’t get the roller coaster. Choices… not many people are going to travel there for a SLC and once they get better coasters no one will want to ride that…. The intamin is a good choice! But I agree with everyone else this need a brand new coaster to get people to go! Thanks for the video!

[@sparkjr2039]

The owners are water park people. When they bought the coasters the really didn't know much about amusement park rides. They have publicly said they didn't know that SLCs are rough and Intamin launchs can have a lot of problems. I would love a new RMC or something!
