ADMIN EDIT: I went ahead and fixed the broken link. In the future, please preview your post to ensure that the link you post is properly working. Aside from that, thank you for sharing this with us!

That has got to be the worst amusement related article I have ever read. I also think its just stupid that in the article they said it was the persons fault that they got injured when it really was their fault, but then to say that makes the ride unsafe?

If you go on the 12th you'll miss the whole event!

I hope everyone was showing their glitter hands when that last picture was taken! Edit: Yay! More Leslie Hall pictures! No need to even post more coaster pictures, just Leslie

That just looks incredible. I can't wait to see the finished product!

^ He said they will open over the next three years meaning one each year...

^ Does it really matter when you're with a group of friends though?

Post deleted. Sorry about that

Holy crap. Now THAT is how you open a coaster!

and

^ I was sold at Viper ERT!

^Yes. Every time you ride they put a check on your wristband. The only way to get more is too buy multiple wristbands or pay for each ride separately which is $6.50.

I would just love for my title to be changed to "I'm obnoxious!"

Wow. Just wow. Amazing as always, you do a better job theming your rides then most real parks!

First off, Hades is far from painful. Second, how can you say they dont maintain they're rides when both Hades and Zeus had lots of re-tracking which really helped and Hades got lots of work done on the trains? The staff is fine, they may not be the fastest, but they sure aren't the slowest and they all spoke English.

Haha, same with me!

I'm really happy we chose not to. Not that I would've done it, but if it happened to her it could've happen to one of us. I do hope they can find a way to reopen it since I can't think of any others in the U.S. Maybe making it so the net doesn't move would help.

^ I just wish the raft lines weren't so long. They're good slides, but I don't think they're really worth the waits they get. IMO they should do away with some of the extra hotel parking by the second entrance and add some newer generation slides there. Great report too, it seems like every time I go to Mt. O , I somehow manage to barely take any pictures.

That's awesome! I can't wait to see the stage for the stunt show.

^ I wasn't upset until you sat on the brouchures, because that is just horrible.

^ This really screws up the whole family thing. And it was a cramped, sticky way out of there... Great Hellcat pictures! I just wish it ran more for more action pictures!

Signed up yesterday, can't wait for the day to come! Two questions though, Besides season passes, do we have to bring any receipts or anything like that? Are we going to get anything (like the event packet) that we should plan on buying a lock.er for?

The waits weren't too bad. About 5 - 20 minutes or so. NaTP is only on Tues, Thurs, Sat and Sun. It's $22 at the gate and $10 online.

Time for Mount Olympus! I really have barely any Mt. O pictures..but I have a reason! We did our coaster riding at Night at the Park, which is a separate ticket that gets you in from 10 - 1 am. It was just too dark for pictures, so I didn't bothering taking any then. I planned on taking all my pictures the next day... but we ended up spending pretty much the whole day in the amazing wave pool. Anyway, here are the reviews. Hades - Still great. The one turn that was just god awful got re-tracked and was much, much better. Hades is really a front row ride though. I don't know why, but there was a pretty big difference between the first and second row. It's worth waiting the extra time for the first row. The car did get a new sign on front which IMO is much cooler looking than the last one. There are also fins on the side of the train (like on AE) and signs in the station and around the ride saying that it is running very aggressive and that hands should be kept down for safety. Kinda seems like a cheap alternative to actually maintaining the ride, because people have actually been getting injured in the back of the train. Zeus - Didn't seem as good as last year airtime wise. Smooth in the front but Griffin thought it was pretty bad in the back. Cyclops - Just incredible in the back. No other coaster has actually put me on the seat divider..and twice! It really would be a shame if it lost the buzz bars. Pegasus - I don't know how it's possible for a coaster that small to run that bad. At least it had some ok air in the back on the first drop. Opa - Trimmed much more than my last two rides. Did help keep it a bit smoother though. Trojan Horse (go kart) - A medal floor has been added to the helix. I dont know how long it's been there since my last ride before it was a few years ago. Not totally smooth but it really does help. There were some absolutely horrible drivers. From people trying to have three cars in a row, to people smashing into others in the station, it was really bad. Imo, Go karts should have higher driver age limits, or as Griffin suggested, IQ limits. Poseidon's Rage - This is where we spent most of the second day. The waves it produces are insanely forceful. Sitting in it (even towards the end) will result with you getting pushed across the hard floor which hurts enough but is forceful enough to rip clothes, wristbands, pull off clothes, anything really. While you might get a mouthful of water, or get pushed into people, go towards the deep end of the pool. Anyway, enough talking, onto the few pictures! NaTP is awesome..but not for pictures Hades really dominates the skyline No trains getting stuck today! The re-tracked section of Zeus A crappy picture of Zeus first drop Apollos Swing with Catapult in the background I do love Screaming Swings! One of the indoor flats First time I've seen a sign like this. They should fix the sign next to it that says they only retrieve items after park closing though.. While in line I heard someone call this a frog. I have never seen a frog that looks like that. One of three new additions for 2010, with the onebeing a new beach area by the wave pool and another being a rock wall. The family raft and mat racers tower. Hades, Zeus and Cyclops from the water park. You can also see the new rock wall. This concludes this report, thanks for reading!
