Lost Island is "teasing" something...

There were a few manufacturers directly teased in the video, like Moser's Rides, SBF Visa, and Gerstlauer - some of those the park has already worked with. The video also included Intamin Ultra Surf, RMC Raptor, and RMC Wild Moose layouts. I don't know how much the park has to spend, but I want it to grow, and maybe if this is anything cool, it will get more people to go. They have an attendance problem; I mean, if they could snag a unique credit, that would at least get coaster enthusiasts to travel out and get a bit more people to go to the park. It seems like they are teasing something new and coming soon to the park, at the very least.

This place is fascinating. I haven't visited myself, and I really do hope they can draw more visitors in, but man... an RMC Wild Moose does not seem like the attraction to do that. Maybe they can cut a deal and pair it with a signature, custom Raptor or something.

The park doesn't currently have a substantial family coaster. Dollar-for-dollar, a Wild Moose might be the best value for what they can afford. I wouldn't be too surprised if it did wonders for the park.

For what it's worth, I DID see a meeting at IAAPA between RMC when one of the salespeople carried in the Wild Moose model and i saw a handshake take place, but didn't recognize anybody in said meeting. It might mean nothing, or it might mean everything...

The cancelled raptor for the SD water park (Wild Water West) was still up for grabs iirc… ;)

Personally i would love to see a wild moose and a raptor go to this park as they would both be stand out attractions to both the thrill and family demographics. But..... like what was mentioned before, attendance is definitely an issue so who knows if they can afford both coasters. Maybe RMC will cut them a package deal, especially if the Wild Water West raptor is still up for grabs and the wild moose will be a prototype. I can see the park getting a wild moose in 24 and raptor in 25, causing guests to come back multiple times and slowly driving up attendance numbers.

Hopefully this park starts making a profit soon, I don't want it to turn into another Hard Rock Park.

Looks like this might be announced on August 16th, 2024.

I personally witnessed individuals from Lost Island park interacting with RMC and a Wild Moose model during the IAAPA 2023 expo coming out of the private meeting space...

If they were smart, they would build something like ArieForce One that would actually draw people to the park. I don't think a Wild Moose coaster will do that.

They should have done this instead of buying two used thrill coasters. Now that they're stuck with those coasters, but lack any proper family coasters, the wild moose makes perfect sense to me.

This! They already have two super intense coasters—one good and one horrendous. The park desperately needs a family coaster.
