verticalzero Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Part of the European Coaster Club's USA tour was to Mt Olympus Theme Park. Ever wonder what happens to cell phones that get lost on rollercoasters? Well, this should be testament to the number of phones are lost purely in the Hades tunnel at Mt. Olympus Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, WI.
Kennyweird Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 This is why the tell you to secure all loose articles before riding, but people still don't listen...
Markieb Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 How kool and odd both. The park does not retrieve lost goods to return to customers? That kinda sucks!
mcjaco Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 ^ Huh? Please check this out: TPR's TOS I know you're new here, but that post makes no sense. And "kool" is mispelled.
Carnage Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 How kool and odd both. The park does not retrieve lost goods to return to customers? That kinda sucks! Mt. Olympus' employees are as lazy as they come. It's a chore enough for them to get off their butts to check lap bars. I can't really see them climbing down into that tunnel daily to bring back smashed cell phones.
Markieb Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Employees may not want too, but it seems daily pick ups would be standard policy. I just find that odd.
Robbie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Thats interesting actually, I figured there would be more though.
ElToroGirl84 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Looks like one of them is a camera. It surprises me no one working at the park retrieves these and tries to sell them.
Robbie Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah, because I mean I sure could use a cell phone, and I see some pretty nice ones! No one would ever know the difference
Carnage Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Employees may not want too, but it seems daily pick ups would be standard policy. I just find that odd. Again, Mt. Olympus just doesn't seem to be the type of place that would bother sending people out to collect broken loose articles from a tunnel.
astroworldfan1 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Isn't Mt. Olympus the park where their employees have been photograpghed sitting on the control pannels for the rides? I find the employees way to lazy. -Tatum
holyblakbelt Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Maybe they should add this statement to the rules they say before the train dispatches... "Remember, never text and ride at the same time!"
dockers Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 When I read the title, I thought that this was going to be about those Verizon "Dead Zone" commercials. I wonder why they're all in a pile like that...maybe the incompetent employees put them in the pile.
Markieb Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Vertical Did you have access to a non public location to shoot this picture, or is it in an area in plain view?
zeke11793 Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 ^ If I understand correctly (from the other pictures in the gallery), This was part of a tour of Hades' tunnel that Mt. Olympus did for the European Coaster Club. But no, this area isn't in plain view.
Angry_Gumball Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Wow...that is crazy. Are people that tied to their cells that they have to make/receive calls while on a coaster? Wow...and I thought having to make/recieve calls while driving was bad enough.
Wes Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 ^ Probably more a product of loose pockets than anything.
Markieb Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 This was part of a tour of Hades' tunnel that Mt. Olympus did for the European Coaster Club. Good, then there is no temptation for someone to try and get them by jumping down from the queue!
Carnage Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 ^ Probably more a product of loose pockets than anything. That'd be my guess as well. I'm thinking this was probably taken right after the first drop in the tunnel. That drop hits you pretty suddenly, so any articles sitting in a loose pocket are going to come flying out.
russell Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Did you have access to a non public location to shoot this picture, or is it in an area in plain view? Actually... the shot is mine, and it's no where close to "in plain view." It's actually fairly deep in the tunnel (maybe mid-way?) and, I'd guess, it's a place for employees who scout the tunnels to toss loose items. There are also several hats strewn around the tunnels on various poles and under tracks (of course)... My entire flickr set lives here in case anyone wants to check it out and comment or what-not... Otherwise, the ECC "American Adventure III" tour with daily trip reports lives here.
MisterP Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Wow...this is probably the least interesting thread ever....
itsme102 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 ^ Then don't read it.... Anyway ^^ Thanks for sharing those pics, it's cool to see Hades "behind the scenes."
Josh Linn Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Damn, I even see a BlackBerry in there too...that must've been an expensive ride.
BDG Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hahaha, how funny, a cell phone grave yard. Not. http://www.articlealley.com/article_555003_17.html
