Home / Information - Lost Island versus Adventureland

It should be no surprise that the most-asked question about a new theme park in Iowa is how it compares to the other theme park in Iowa. This page will try to answer that, but none of this matters. If you love wooden roller coasters, Adventureland has two and Lost Island has zero. You would prefer Adventureland. If you love 4-D motion simulator interactive dark rides, Lost Island has one, and Adventureland has none. You would prefer Lost Island.

This page will list all the similar and dissimilar rides at each park to help you decide which one has more of what you are interested in.

(This page is loosely based on a page I created in the mid-1990s contrasting Disneyland in California against The Magic Kingdom in Florida: http://www.disneyfans.com/dlvstmk/)

Your Milage May Vary

Lost Island is a tiny park compared to Adventureland. Just like you wouldn't compare the gas station convenience store down the street to the huge mega grocers across town, comparing parks of different sizes doesn't make sense. Adventureland clearly offers way more rides and things to do. However, if the convenience store had the items you wanted, and the mega grocers did not, you might find yourself choosing smaller over larger.

With that said, here is a list to help you decide if Lost Island has the things you want.

Notes:

  • A "real" ride is anything with a ride vehicle. Adventureland offers "over 100 rides, shows and attractions" but only about 40 of those are rides.
  • Only rides that were operating are listed. Lost Island has three more rides that were not ready for the 2022 season, and Adventureland has a few that are listed as closed on the website.
  • Shows only includes daily scheduled items, and does not include things like the dozens of musicians that play at the bars during the season.
  • Restaurants is permanent food locations, and does not include carts or places that serve only drinks. For Adventureland, it includes the amusement park locations only, and not those inside the connected water park.
  • Admission price is what you pay at the front gate. Both parks offer discounts for buying tickets in advance.
