cfc Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 That two-train Raging Bull picture is particularly impressive, Hanno.
Pirouettes907 Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 I really like the colors in the last picture. Â As always, you have fantastic photos, Hanno!
derwood Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Another great day and fantastic pics. Â Hoping for another Midwest Bash in the future! Â -daron
jray21 Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Great pictures as always! I really miss that trip.
Cameron Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Hanno - your pictures are just stunning! I love the super-zoom photos of people on ride, the expressions are fantastic. Thanks so much for taking the time to share them  Cameron.
traincrossin Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Front row "Ow ow ow, my ears!!!" Â Fantastic photos Hanno! Those zoom shots of the riders are amazingly clear. That was such a fun day at Great America and the backstage tours were excellent!
raptor6 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Great Pictures Hanno! Â That TPR day was a lot of fun! Can't wait for another one!
cal1br3tto Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Those coasters look niice from backstage! Thanks for sharing your shots! That tour almost killed me because of the heat, but in retrospect it was totally worthwhile!
Hhappy Posted December 15, 2010 Author Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Day 10: Mt. Olympus  Let me think.. home to Hades (the one and only) and don't forget about Cyclops (one of my favorite rides out there) Waterpark with big wave and yeah.. i'll shut up at this time..  I don't remember riding anything that day... i guess i just enjoy taking pictures. Anyway.. here's a few images from that day. Early morning rides are always fun today was all about this dude.. the gate to the "underworld" forget the ride, it's all about the dude with the shirt. It even says: it's all about me this might take a little while how they managed to tangle up.. i'm still not sure.. back to the usual program, it's coaster time front row TpWake before... after... and even more after... out of the station let the credit whoring continue yeah, guess it's time to clean.. time for some cyclops images mama we're flying high hairtime payback time or just sitting at the wrong side?? priceless backrow it looks so innocent Spinning fun while the big kids were riding coasters.. yeah.. crowd.. aussie...

SharkTums Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 OMG the Cyclops photos are just incredible!!!! Â You can see how insane it is by the sheer number of us HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!!!
mattnz Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I can't believe a few people actually managed to keep their hands up on the back row of Cyclops. I didn't DARE! Fantastic photos!
cal1br3tto Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Wow! Those Cyclops shots really capture the intensity of that drop! I'm not sure I've ever seen airtime so well-documented before! Â ^Haha, I think Cyclops may have been the only coaster there where I did put my hands up. I know I didn't want to risk my arms getting lopped off on Hades or wrenched off on Zeus, and I may not have bothered on Pegasus or the mousey spinny thing, cause they're so lil'.
beatle11 Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Those Cyclops pictures are incredible! I've heard the stories about the airtime in the backseat, but wow!
BarryH Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 I rode Hades last year and it was very intense. I had to sit down after each ride because it was so intense! I didn't try the water park, as I forgot to pack my swim trunks. Â I also remember Mt. Olympus employed a lot of East Europeans. It's like they held a job fair at the Czech Republic!
Looty Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Nice pictures, Hanno! Â It's a shame Mt. Olympus isn't managed/maintained better....
saginawhxc Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Hanno I just now read the last couple of pages so I was a little behind on this report. As always great photos. It made me smile to see you caught one of my boy and me on Superman. Thanks for posting this.
krazekiddd Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Haha! Hanno those are fantastic! The shot of Jenn and Travis is just amazing!
RoCo Posted December 16, 2010 Posted December 16, 2010 Those "Cyclops" photos are indeed hysterical AND perhaps the best advertising for the Dells that I've ever seen. GOTTA get there one day...
jcrouse Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Wow! Hanno those are fantastic shots! Love Jacqi's hair on Hades.
NathP Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Great report! I remember holding on for dear life on Cyclops on the Midwest 2007 trip, makes you almost stand up its that strong!
Jcoaster95 Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I love Hades and Cyclops.... probably the best two coasters ever built!
Karezza Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I found myself behind in the coaster world when I saw the front of the Hades trains. I thought "When did that happen?". Don't worry, I just did a little research and found out. Â I love the third picture of Cyclops with the man in the back seat and how the seat belt is holding him in. That's a lot of airtime! Ya (With a Minnesotan accent)!
coastercrzyjames Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Wow!! Amazing photos of Cyclops Hanno!! That ride was totally insane, airtime wise, and I love seeing the photos that were captured to prove it. Thanks for sharing some good memories.
