I rode on this coaster back in South Africa when it was still called the Cobra. Brings back memories. Thanks for posting!

How can I learn more about types of rollercoasters and manufacturers and such? Are there any good resources or places to start?

A new park got an USED SLC, yes. Yes they did. The very worst type of new coaster, they bought used. Hahaha Good luck, Lost Island.

Real question is as a park, how can tou buy a SLC ? Don't you know a bit of its reputation ?

This ride use to be here in cape town south Africa...it was originally named the cobra here at our ratanga junction theme park...which sadly closed it's doors may 1 2018...after operating for almost 20 years...till today we are still heartbroken but glad to see the coaster is In good hands 🥺❤️

Even if it is an SLC, it's at least pretty cool to see it receive the new trains, so it's presumably a lot more bearable than the usual "Hang N' Bang" ones that absolutely wreck those kinds of rides. And it's one of those rarer models with the additional helix before the brake run (ala _El Jaguar_ at Isla Magica in Spain), so there's also that!

I live in the Des Moines metro area which is about two hours or so from Lost Island and my home park has always been Adventureland, but I hope to maybe visit Lost Island this summer. I’ve heard this coaster is pretty rough, but I’m still pretty excited to ride it!

Surprising to say the least the amount of time money and theming they put into the park and someone said “hey! Let’s go buy the most hated coaster model in the world and make that one of our opening day attractions!”

The only part that looks rough is the first inversion. But I can bet that first element was worse when the coaster was brand new. The rest looks surprisingly smooth, especially the last helix. Any way you look at it, it’s still one of the better Vekoma SLC coasters. Great refurbishment, updated trains, good paint job as well. Six Flags should get rid of these things & relocate them to smaller parks like Lost Island. They would get a lot more love.

apart from the first inversion it looks decently smooth, ofcourse SLCs can rattle a bit but in my opinion with the new trains there is no headbanging. One question tho, is it a thighcrush? Because Condor at Walibi with the new trains is.
