2022: Lost Island, $100 million theme park in Waterloo, Iowa

[Skyscraper]

This should be talked about more than it is; the Lost Island Water Park in Waterloo, Iowa, are building a $100 million theme park next to it. Construction broke ground in 2019 and the park is due to open in 2022.

Explanation of lands and confirmed and potential attractions:



Two confirmed relocated coasters already in storage on-site are an Intamin Xcelerator from Sweden and an SLC from South Africa. (the latter will have new trains as the old ones are for sale)

Kanonen and a SLC?

Ew, that's not worth the effort.

You’ve got to start somewhere! I know that it doesn’t look like the most remarkable lineup, but if it’s going to be used as a springboard for future expansion, then I’d say it’s a good place to start!

It’s worth remembering that Energylandia opened with only a few fairly cheap SBF Visa coasters. Look at them now.

Interested to see how Adventureland respond, they've had a clear run on that market for so long.

Good luck to them.

Suppose operating as a water park expansion, it has more stable ground. However, Adventureland seem to have decent investments so it should be fun to watch.

Bump!

This park is coming along nicely and we have a construction tour;
