Lost Island Theme Park, Waterloo, Iowa
“Incredibly smooth.”
POV
Back row
Really punchy launch. Feels way faster than it is.
The launch is very good and was more intense than I was expecting.
Launch still hits hard despite its rather slow speed compared to the other accelerators.
I much prefer the layout on this one though, as it is filled with ejector hills and hangtime inversions.
Hangtime at the end is fun.
Very snappy. Nice hangtime.

Vs. other coasters at Lost Island Theme Park
There’s good airtime and even a little bit of ejector on the top hat.

The inversion is fast and smooth.

I was a little worried about smoothness due to it be relocated but was happy to find it was very smooth IMO

It’s definitely not the smoothest coaster I’ve been on but it’s so intense!
@annikamarilyn
The helix whips you around but it’s still smooth, and the final heartline roll into the breaks is SLOW and it’s a very intense element.

Along 4 The Ride
Good intensity overall.
Coaster Nut
This was the best spot for positive Gs, as I started to greyout on several rides.
Canobie Coaster
Even if it is one of the more mild ones.

The ride feels way faster than its posted speed, the elements mostly deliver, and the transitions in-between are engaging.One extra note if you wear glasses Finally, I want to talk about this ride’s...
Canobie Coaster
Let me tell you, that launch is WAY faster in real life!

Always follow the rules, warnings and restrictions posted by the park.
With a really nice launch going into a short and sweet layout, this little Accelerator is perfect for the park.
Evangelion Martini, Captain Coaster reviewThe layout could use the same level of theming as the station exterior but I could ride it all day regardless.
Joel Erickson, Captain Coaster reviewHaving visited Lost Island several years ago, my takeaways after riding Matugani were how re-ridable the coaster was, both from a force standpoint, as well as overall park attendance standpoint.
Coaster101, published reviewThis is a fun and punchy Intamin with their great launch and has a fairly interesting layout after the top hat including a zero g vertical loop and some time upside down near the end.
David, Captain Coaster reviewLaunch still hits hard despite its rather slow speed compared to the other accelerators.
Carter Eckhart, Captain Coaster reviewRode this today was one of my favorite coasters very fun me and my cousin were on it and the workers were freindly we were playing rock paper scissors and it was a fun coast I loved the launch at the start
