PART 2: Mt. Olympus Theme Park
Trip Report (July 12, 2017): Hola! So this is the trip report that everyone's been waiting for . . . "HOW THE HECK DID HE HAVE FUN AT MT. OLYMPUS THEME PARK?" . . . "WHY DIDN'T HE HAVE A BAD DAY?" . . . "WHY HE DIDN'T GO VISIT THE OTHER AMUSEMENT DOWN THE ROAD WHICH IS WAY BETTER THAN THIS DUMP?" So many questions, and yet I have ONE answer to them all. What's the trick on having a fun day a Mt. Olympus Theme Park? Drumroll please . . .
KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN THE PROPER PLACE!
We all love theme parks, and we expect certain things from those theme parks that we visit . . . BUT . . . just like humans . . . every theme park is different! What you might expect at Disney, you can't expect at Universal. What you expect at Universal, you can't expect at Six Flags. And what you expect at Six Flags, you SURELY can't expect at Mt. Olympus Theme Park. SIMPLE! Treat each park for what it is, and not for what you want it to be! I didn't go into Mt. Olympus knowing that this is going to be a TOP 10 park, nor did I go in knowing theming was going to be TOP 10 worthy . . . OF COURSE NOT! I excepted the park for what it was: A small theme/water park mostly geared towards the water park fan base. Nothing more . . . nothing less. It was just that!
Even though the park isn't on the scale we would like it to be, I found my quick visit to be enjoyable and worthwhile. The operations were decent, and I didn't spend long waiting in line. It was a quick stop on my way to Minnesota, so much time wasn't spent here. I grabbed the credits, plus a ride on Manticore, and I was out. With that being said, I don't have many pictures, nor is my vlog very long. It's just a little something to show that the park wasn't as terrible as everyone made it out to be. Would I visit this park again? I highly doubt it, but I do recommend a visit if you haven't already.
*Roller Coasters:
Zeus: It was a great ride indeed!
Pegasus: I found it enjoyable!
Cyclops: I didn't get a chance to ride in the last row, but it did provide some good airtime!
Hades 360: The jewel of this park! The pre-drop was great! Going through that underground tunnel and inversion was FANTASTIC! It's definitely worth a ride!
*Other attraction:
Manticore: Fun! Just your typical swing ride.
Enough of me talking, you're here for some footage, or pictures! Scroll down and you shall find!
