Lost Island Waterpark has placed in the Top 5 of the list each of the past five years, winning it all in 2020. Although the new Lost Island theme park site, which is still under construction. suffered from a fire last month, the waterpark was unaffected and is set to open for the season in May.

According to CBS2:

The fire that started on March 10th at the theme park construction site did leave some major damage to some areas, including the Yuta Falls Family Flume Ride, which is one of the new park's centerpieces.
