New for 2027 at Lost Island is the first Wild Moose coaster, that suprisingly is a shuttle too!
Looks very unique!

Aw I kinda feel bad for em. Have their visitor numbers gone up yet? Whilst this looks fun I don’t see it as an addition that will bring in more crowds.

This is one of the best parks in the country. This will definitely draw Enthusiasts back and the family that owns the park are insanely rich. This is their passion project.

Well that's one way to check off a family boomerang of some kind.

I went in 23 and again last year, last year it felt a bit more busy than the year prior? Every guest who was there was talking about it like this amazing hidden gem they were just discovering in their neck of the woods.

Honestly, a little impressed RMC is stepping on Vekoma's toes right now but if it performs well and undercuts their cheap product, I could see it being a cash cow.

I'm more bullish on the Moose Coaster since we did our coverage on the demo track, especially for how tight the turns can be packed.

But... is it really better than a Vekoma family boomerang? Time will tell, but I will say I've been thoroughly impressed by Vekoma's design thus far, especially the likes of Luna at Liseberg.

My (honest) want and hope on Moose Coaster is to see layout more akin to Kentucky Flyer at Kentucky Kingdom; thinking 50 ft. out-and-back style coaster with some fun, tight turns.

My editorial aside - hoping this proves viability of the new design!
