Lost Island Waterpark’s new Lost Island theme park in Waterloo, Iowa is opening to visitors on 18 June. The park was originally due to open on 10 June.
“Creating a brand new theme park from ground up has been a huge undertaking,” said Lori Thureson, a spokesperson for Lost Island (via Des Moines Register).
“As much as we look forward to sharing it with the public, these delays are out of our control,” Thureson added.
The 159-acre Lost Island attraction is home to five themed ‘realms’, including Mura (fire), Yuta (earth), Awa (water), Udara (air) and Tamariki (spirit).
Mura features a pendulum ride called Mura Fury, as well as a the Rokava ride. It also offers the Shaman’s Curse ride and a volcano-themed ride called Volkanu by Sally Dark Rides.
