The three new and exciting slides: Jungle Escape (141m long, double slide), Treasure Hunter (206m long, collect and score points), and River Run (161m long, 3D, sound and lightening effects).
An adventure unlike any other Located in the middle of Örebro, Sweden’s sixth largest city, Lost City offers you the opportunity to experience something unique. It is a high-tech wonder of adventure and fun, bursting with excitement and adrenaline rushes. Calling it an unforgettable experience is the understatement of the year. Welcome!

In an Asian jungle the ruins of an abandoned city are found. A mystical river runs down a great mountain. The river is holy; feel free to swim around in it, but be careful – evil spirits are easily disturbed. A storm is coming. The mountain must be evacuated and people are throwing themselves down the river to escape the evil spirits soaring above the mountain looking for the source of the disruption. This is where the adventure begins. This is Lost City. Gustavsvik has since long been a place of entertainment and fun times. The Lido opened in 1932 and has grown and developed ever since. Last year saw the beginning of what
would become the nation’s biggest and most adventurous waterland. “There are so many things going on that most people have never seen before,” says Marcus Wirén, marketing and sales manager, when we catch up with him just a week before the grand opening of Lost City. “For starters we are going along with the theme 100 per cent. Inside Lost City everything is decorated and adapted according to the water and jungle theme, even pillars and pool-sides. It is amazing to see the transformation. And the slides are simply spectacular.” He’s not exaggerating one bit – the slides are something out of this world. Three new monster slides have been built with spec-
tacular features to accompany them. One is over 200m long, another is designed for competitive races and there are even 3D features to make the long ride down extra exhilarating. Just pick your theme, and as you go down the 3D technology will make you feel like you really are sliding down a world unlike anything you’ve ever seen. “Gustavsvik is such a fun place for the entire family,” Wirén says. “It was even before Lost City, and the location being so close to Örebro makes it very easy for people to stop by and stay for a few days. Lost City has really brought something extraordinary to the table.” We don’t disagree. Lost City truly is a magical place to disappear into for as long as you’d like.
