Originally opening in 2005 at Liseberg in Sweden, this hydraulic launch coaster sends riders up and over a 79 foot tall top hat and through two inversions! Its a short but sweet ride experience, and just opened for the 2023 season at Lost Island Theme Park in Iowa!

Iowa: home of the best green midsize signature coasters. I think it's got a nice ring to it.

Ended up planning a trip out to Lost Island at the end of the month Thanks to your vlog last week ^^ Excited to try Matugani out!

@CoasterStudios Год назад

So happy to hear! Enjoy!

@brianschulz7833 Год назад

I rode Matugani earlier this season, and I concur it’s really a perfect fit for the park. It straddles an intensity threshold that’s bound to excite, but not overwhelm, pretty much any guest.

@eliasmertens9313 Год назад

My partner and I agreed that Matugani and Yuta Falls have really made this place an all-day park. I really think this park is now on-track for success. It really is a special place and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

@williamjg2347 Год назад

While it operated at Liseberg it also had soft over the shoulder straps for a while. It changed while it was operating. The reason for the bit of straight track after the launch is because it crossed a small river there while it was operating at Liseberg. Unlike LSMs which can be place pretty much anywhere the mechanical room for the hydraulic launch had to be on land and there for the straight track to take you over the river for the top hat that was place on the other side of the river at Liseberg. That also explains the funky supports in the valley after the top hat. They are placed like that to go on either side of the small river.

@CoasterStudios Год назад

Did not know that! Makes sense!

@williamjg2347 Год назад

@@CoasterStudios Liseberg is my home park. That's why I know all this 😅

@shanemeyer7989 3 месяца назад

@@williamjg2347I don't mean this as a slight, but that's probably why they got a favorable deal on it. A lot of capital goes into building a theme park from scratch and acquiring a pre-owned coaster that can be seen as a signature attraction day 1 that has a potentially limiting feature or two due to original constraints (such as needing to cross a river) is a relatively affordable alternative to other options. It's a very solid ride and we are happy to have it here in Iowa. God Bless you, Liseberg.

Never Thought That They Managed To Get The Hydraulic Launch Working Again After Being Relocated , When I Think About Hydraulic Launch Coasters Being Relocated That The Hydraulic Launch Is Being Removed And Replaced By A Magnetic Launch , But Matugani Proves Otherwise.

I did manage to ride Kanonen when it was at Liseberg back in 2016. And back then it did also have the newer vest restraints instead of the hard collars. But this coaster was just amazing for rerides again and again. Like many Scandinavian roller coasters it strikes that really good balance of being pure fun without being so intense its tiring. Plus we should also consider when this opened, it was the very first Launch coaster in all of the Nordics. No one in Scandinavia had experienced anything like this in their part of the world until Kanonen opened in 2005. Kanonen literally meaning "The Cannon" as if you, the rider, are being shot out of a cannon like a human cannonball. Even with the "Dull" straight track, I can see exactly why they did it. For one, its former location went over a river between the top hat and the rest of the layout, but also it gives general public riders the ability to realise the speed they're going at. Again back in the mid 2000's this was extremely novel. I think its also fair to say Kanonen sparked a wave of launch coasters across Scandinavia in the mid-late 2000's since that was the hot new thing back then with other parks being quick to get onboard, including Tusenfryd with Speed Monster and Fårup Sommerland with Lynet, so it definitely has a legacy to it as a trendsetter, and I'm glad it still lives on and can bring joy to people in midwestern America.

@stepsgaming Год назад

Why did they sell it/get rid of it and replace it. Has to be a reason.

@giantsgustav Год назад

@@stepsgamingThey opened Helix 9 years later, ridership went down from Kanonen due to their similarities. Then when Liseberg started to transform into more of a theme park they wanted to really build on the myths and legends part of the park, which Kanonen did not fit in to. So it was many small factors that eventually led to it’s closure/replacement with once again, a very unique ride for Northern Europe

@maxhagenauer24 Год назад

I'm glad you reviewed this, this is a perfect coaster for many ages. It's thrilling but not too thrilling and it has decent positive Gs, airtime, hangtime, whip, a launch, pretty much a little all the forces.

@agent5tm902 Год назад

I used to ride this at Liseberg when it was Kanonen! And I remember it being so much fun. Some day I have to go here if I can so I can ride my old but lovely friend of a rollercoaster!

@Crisyllis27 Год назад

I rode Matugani earlier this summer, and it was awesome! Perfect fit for Lost Island! My #3 coaster in Iowa after Monster and Dragon Slayer!

@iPhoneFactoryYT Месяц назад

the layout is so good for what it is look at it 10/10 in takin for what they did

@merkerb 8 месяцев назад

We rode 3 times on our trip to Lost Island and I was completely surprised by how good it was! Definitely was not expecting it to be that good. Walking up to it I didn’t think it looked as intense as the launch turned out to be and I guess it’s smaller size gave the impression that it would be a more mild middle of the road experience. Always a great surprise when a coaster blows away your expectations! Can’t wait to get back there this year!

@ZoniesCoasters Год назад

The launch actually stops much sooner than where you pointed to in the POV. If you look down into the launch track where the cable runs you'll see magnetic brakes inside the cable trough, those brakes are there to slow down the catch car so once it reaches those brakes you're no longer accelerating.

@CoasterStudios Год назад

Good catch!

@flavortown5124 Год назад

Moreover, everybody seems to forget this when talking about acceleration.

@mastehn 4 месяца назад

Just rode this today while visiting family in Iowa. It was so much fun! I'm a big old chicken and had never been on a coaster with inversions before, so this was my first and I loved it

@ejectorairtime Год назад

I just rode this on Friday and was pleased to find how smooth it was after being in storage.

@lightningboat Год назад

Seems like a fun little coaster, like a combination of Copperhead Strike and Ice Breaker, or a mini-Storm Runner or Maxx Force! Hope they can replace the restraints to lower the height limit though. That kind of sucks.

@FigmentJedi Год назад

At night, they have a smoke machine effect releasing fog from the snake head before every launch and they've added a little more character with a pre-recorded spiel meant to be from Matugani herself.

@Aerolandaircraft Год назад

Looks like a really good ride to get potential enthusiasts into coasters! Not too imposing to look at, fun (but not too intense) launch, and great layout comprised of airtime, intensity and hangtime. Wish I had this coaster to make me a thoosie.

@GalenlevyPhoto 4 месяца назад

I lived a few miles away and saw the park being built, but unfortunately moved before it opened (but fortunate to gtfo of Iowa!) Not surprised it has no crowd. Most people had no idea it was even being built as there were no commercials, billboards, etc anywhere. Maybe they're banking on the water park guest to walk across the street? Did you get to to the water park while you were there? It's rated as one of the top in the country.

*If ABBA were a roller coaster* Backstory: This ride opened in ABBA’s home country of Sweden, and then it was sold to Lost Island, located in Waterloo - a name of one of ABBA’s first hit songs!

@askjeevescosby2928 6 месяцев назад

This park is in desperate need of a big headlining attraction. I think a mid sized rmc would be perrfect. The large support structure would make it so you couldnt see the other end of the park. Or they could get in touch with that chinese park that never opened. They could buy a bunch of themeing from them along with 2 large new b&m coasters.

@OklahomaCoasterFan Год назад

I was blown away by Matugani. I feel that it is only slightly less intense than Storm Runner, but Matugani does more during the ride. I rank Storm Runner only slightly ahead of Matugani. Monster is still my favorite in Iowa, but not by a lot.

@jamesliu7970 Год назад

I think the reason for the last turn being slow is because it had to stay elevated to clear a road underneath back in Liseberg. You can also tell from the supports.
