Rugged One Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Nice pics man! It's rare to see a trip put together of pretty much just waterparks, so I'm anxiously awaiting the rest. So did you stay at The Wilderness and then buy passes for the Great Wolf and Kalahari? I love those enclosed Tornado funnels. There's so much to do in the Dells, a couple of days just doesn't seem to cover it whenever we are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsr Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Kalahari was fun, but hey, It's supposed to be a dry day. Well I will add Mt. Olympus in 2 posts. Everything but the coasters in one post, and coasters in another. The Trolley. Jen made me ride it. But I made the best of it getting some more pics of Opa Twister Coaster. Which is the official name. That's it for misc. Next post will be the coasters. eeewwww The Trojan Horse... let's not even go there. Titan's Tower.... Awesome... This huge track used to be two track. WTG BIG CHIEFS Tiny Hero's.. They would not allow us on this one. Teacups, lets go. The kiddie Spring ride. Parent's may ride too. The Robocoaster, you have to pay $2.00 if you want levels 2-5.. level one is free and stupid. Just fork over the money. You will love it. Posiedon the underwater go cart track Loved this food here Medusa's Drop.... love the air you get on this cart track Ketchup Dog..... Hermes Turbo track. Great Cart's here. Untill I got into a wreck. 3 other carts just plowed into me after getting cut off and spinning out. It was time for Hades. Helios, the wood on this cart track is getting quite bumpy and rotted If anybody wants this picture for a desktop, please pm me. It's just beautiful love this shot Hey, It's a disco Bumper cars one more shot..... wonder what they are planning? Strange construction going on next to the Parthenon Indoor Park. The fun is about to begin.... Thankfully we are parked at Treasure Island. We did not have to walk down or up that crazy hill to the ticket booths today. We hurt the next day from parking by the coasters. Finally, it's been soooo long. Will we get the kiddie coaster credit? Guess we should get some sleep here. Then we can just walk over. Were Here, now let us in..... Whoa, let me rest, I don't want to go on that! Think I've had one to many drinks. Is that the Hurler? MGD Time!! Here is Jen, tring not to think about that poor ketchup loving hotdog character at Mt. Olympus. Here is the Moose that greet's ya on the way in. We decided to head to Moosejaw for supper. And some beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsr Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 Little Titan's and Zeus. This will wrap up the photo's that we took of the "Dry" part of Mt. Olympus. We still have a few more parks from this day to add. This is how accidents happen. Not something that they should let kids see them doing. I seen many parents getting after their children to stop climbing on Zeus. Hey Dad, Can I play on the new play structure that has a Roller Coaster on it?

NitroJoeC Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Awesome pics, thanks for posting them! About Hades, didn't Nick Laskaris (sp?) say he was purchasing a 6th car for it, and even a second train? Looked as if neither of those things happened. Is it coming later in the year or has it been scrapped? Can't wait to ride Hades again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadmos Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 ^Isn't there extra gates in the station for the 6th car? Thanks for the tour of Mt Olympus, I'm planning on going here in September and cannot wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked_Maverick Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Sweet Pics. I want to go there so bad now. Maybe I can visit my sister and convince her to take me there she only lives and hour and a half away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsr Posted June 14, 2006 Author Share Posted June 14, 2006 I don't believe that there is any space that they could place a transfer track on Hades. Possibly on the side of the short brake run. But I doubt that would happen. The crew there seems to move the line quickly. I will have more pics of Mt. Olympus posted later on. They are from the following day. All the ride pics have been posted. This day we spent doing the waterparks there. They have quite a collection of water slides and attractions. I still have to post the pics from Timber Falls, Extremeworld, and Riverview Park and Waterworld from Day 2: Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 It's about time for some good ole fashion german food. We ate at the Essen Haus German Restraunt. Food and beer was great. I would suggest this place to everyone. The waitresses wear these very cute european dresses. Our "German" waitress was sporting various tattoo's.

cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Onto Riverview Park and Waterworld. This park really felt ghetto. What a dump. Our visit here lasted no more than 45 minutes. Don't waste your time, grab the three credits and get the heck out. The Ultimate Rush, by far the best ride here. They make 3 circuits each ride....hmmm 3 credits? look at all the kiddie credits!! just a whorin around Wonder what that guy thinks when he see's himself in the glass house? not eew it looks scarier than Hades.... Time to do the Ferris Wheel This was ok to.... Catch n' Air They did have an ok cart track Welcome to our Dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Day 3: This was a very, very wet day. It was very hot and perfect outside. We hit a few waterparks today and even got lucky enough to get a construction tour on one of the largest indoor waterpark complexes to date. We went to Chula Vista Resort, and Treasure Island waterpark and Mt. Olympus again, but to the waterpark sections. We did get a few more coaster rides too. Hades was open until 10 pm and that is one wicked ride in the dark. They had these conceptual art photo's displayed in the mail lobby. Switchback Canyon Red Rock Racers Rattlesnake Run Gator Tail Durango Drop Cougar Crossing, in the basement of the Chula Vista Cactus Cove There was a Fiero car show going on in the parking lot of Chula Vista. On our way over to Chula Vista, we saw this billboard. They also had this lame wavepool Treasure Island had this private Kiddie Ship for guest staying there.

cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 That was fun. Now it was time we headed back over to Mt. Olympus where they have the Bay of Dreams indoor park and Neptunes Outdoor park. I will start with the Bay of Dreams. Wonder if they will let us in? The Warrior's Waterwalk. Huck's Lagoon Hispaniola Bay. Cobra Anaconda and Bao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 You could have a better time elsewhere. Bay of Dreams was far from impressive. Let's move over to Neptune's Outdoor Waterpark. Blue Maggie Forget the name of this Complex. It was fun, not too thrilling, but fun. Triton Time for the Tidal Wave Thunder and Lightning The Speed slides were great.

cwsr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 Day 4: Today was our last day here in the Wisconsin Dells. We had a great time here. We plan to visit for a week next June once again. So much to do here, never enough time. We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel on our last night. We woke up, had a quick breakfast at the Largest McDonald's that I have ever seen. This McDonalds actually sit's on the former property of the defunct Fort Fun Amusement Park. When you walk in the door, there is a aerial photo from 1963. Their largest ride at the time of the photo was a large Sky Tower, similar to Sky Trek Tower at SFGAM. Time to head out to Noah's Ark for the day. The Adventure River The Big Top ...... well .. Does Noah's Ark Management team know what they are paying this guy to do? Is this ride safe, seems all of the life guards are on strike or something. Had to have a drink (or 2) before going on the Time Warp. Um,, I'm Speechless, That's a big pooper slide. wow, I would have went with a different color scheme. Time Warp in Noah's Ark New for 2006 ride. They advertise this ride for being the largest bowl ride. Ooo K Ticket's please. Time to get wet!
