EuroTre Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I didn't get to take any pictures because my mom wouldn't let me take the camera. I just thought I'd let those know who are going on the Midwest trip, or just visiting the Dells, how Mt. Olympus is doing this year. I will also do one for Great America and Timber Falls. THE PARK The place is still a very awesome experience. The go karts are top notch, the park is clean, the water park is very cool (especially Poseidon's Rage), and the lines aren't horrendous. HADES OMG! Still the most insane woodie in the Midwest. It's actually better than the Voyage. Airtime, speed, 'THE' tunnel, and pure insanity make up HADES (And no, it's smooth) Cyclops Still has 'THE DROP'. Not very intimitading? A little story: When I was waiting in line for Cyclops, the train came into the station with the very last bar open. The guy even closed it before the train left! That's why you have to be 18 to ride in the last car. Opa Not very exciting with 4 people. Try riding with 2 people for a more exciting ride. Only if you want to, Pegasus and Zeus are also there. Pegasus is plain awful, while Zeus desperately needs a retrack. Pegasus. WATCH OUT FOR THAT LAST TURN! courtesy of rcdb 'THE DROP' on Cyclops courtesy of rcdb Hades courtesy of rcdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hope you enjoyed your time at the Park, I'll rather visit Timber Falls and this Park then spend 4 hours in a Q at any Disney Park. I'll be hitting the back seat on Cyclops when I ride it 1st time next year. I'm sure the owners of the Park are well aware of the track condition on their coasters. If they care about their guests the coasters will be looked after properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I still find the first drop on Cyclops better than "THE" drop, but both are filled with sweet ejector/floater goodness. Infact, the whole ride is. The lesson of this post is be over 18 and ride the back of Cyclops. It pwns all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyage_luvr Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 That drop on Cyclops doesn't look too airtime producing. It reminds me of the 5th drop on Raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 That drop on Cyclops doesn't look too airtime producing. It reminds me of the 5th drop on Raven. Ride it and then say that. That final drop on Cyclops feels like you're going to get torn right out of the car. It is just as insane and terrifying as it sounds. Raven doesn't even have a 1/4 the airtime that Cyclops does. Though the buzz bars have alot to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Wow! When did Posidons Rage open? I have to see pictures of it operating (to bad you couldn't bring your camera with you). I wish England had more woodies (stupid height restrictions), their so fun and exiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Is the new Screaming Swing ride open? If so did you ride it? It looks totally insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroTre Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Oh yeah! It was open and it was absofricken insane! I nearly blacked out and the guy I was riding with said that when they were running full blast, 2 people actually DID black out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the funniest thing I have heard for a long time. Best airtime ever. Twenty times better than anything on Voyage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFreakZac Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I've ridden the voyage over twenty times and I don't know how you could say Hades is more insane than the Voyage. The Voyage has eight tunnels with which one has the unique triple down that has the best airtime plus an insane woody in my opinion should be kind of rough like the Voyage. Sorry I just think that the Voyage rains supreme over all wooden roller coasters. Even El Toro!Yes Even El Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willski Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 ^Seven, the Voyage has seven tunnels. After 3rd hill After 4th hill After 5th hill Just before MCBR Entire triple down Through queue area Under bridge in Thanksgiving section Hades does looks very sweet, too bad the high hill on the turnaround and the high hill just before the finale helix have no air.

EuroTre Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 When I rode the Voyage earlier this summer, I thought that it was better than Hades. But then I rode Hades again. The tunnel = better than sex (Not that I would know) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Hades is a great ride. But some what near the end it rattles your head alot. Pegasus is rough and I can't belive I went on it. Cyclops no doubt lots of airtime. Zeus is a pretty cool ride itself. It has a neat turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
