History
In 2001, Bertch Cabinet Manufacturing, owned by the Bertch family, opened Lost Island Waterpark. Over time, the water park expanded, and it became ranked among the best water parks in the United States.[3] On July 15, 2019, the Bertch family announced plans to construct Lost Island Theme Park next to Lost Island Waterpark.[4] The planned 90-acre (36 ha) park would be located next to a 30-acre (12 ha) lake, and it would feature multiple attractions in five themed lands.[5] The park will feature three roller coasters which are yet to be named: a Suspended Looping Coaster, which operated at Ratanga Junction in South Africa, an Accelerator Coaster, which operated at Liseberg in Sweden, and a junior Wacky Worm coaster.[6] Construction on Lost Island Theme Park began on August 23, 2019, and it is projected to be completed by 2022.[7]
