Lost Island
Matugani
The ride is a snappy mix of fun forces! The launch is zippy, but not insane like Maxx Force. It is silent though, and launches with absolutely zero warning. Very similar to Rita in my experience.
The top hat was whippy, with good air up in the front, and great air down in the back!
The first speed hill was great flojector with good whip. The trim on the hill definitely hit but you couldn’t really feel it.
The loop had some great hangtime, where I think the trim actually helped!
The twisted airtime hill that followed was incredble. Super whippy and the most intense ejector on the ride. Great element! Was a bit rattly into and out of the element but it wasn’t painful with the soft straps.
The helix was forceful, especially with a full train!
The final speed hill and turn kinda did nothing.
The inline twist was full of hangtime, and plenty sustained! Not as great as XFlight, but overall pretty good.
Overall, this ride is a little on the short side, but what accelerator isn’t. At least it does a lot with the track it has!
We got to the park today around 4:00 pm, and there were more people in the park vs last year, but not a lot. Things are definitely improving though, and I hope this summer is successful for them. Most rides were open, except Nopuko which still needs some work before it is ready for the season. The dark ride’s preshow is working and made the ride make a whole lot more sense. Though, the crystal at the back of the blaster is very bright and you need to cover it to be able to really see the screen. Yuta falls is a great, if slightly barren log flume. Both drops are exciting but not terriying, and the splashes are the perfect amount of wet. The entire park felt more fleshed out, with more sensible trash can replacement and lots of shrubbery thay just needs more time to grow in.
I had a great few hours at the park and hope that it continues to grow. Getting a few shows and obviously more rides will really tie this themed experience together, and in a few years will be a force to be reckoned with!
