odene497 0 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 The retracking and friendlier staff were my first thoughts as well. Any addition is nice, but they have some incredible coaster layouts there. Hades would probably be in my top 5 if it didn't hurt so much. There is so much within the current park that could and needs to be fixed up. It really lacks the feeling of a real, complete park, like it could be. It's too much of a crappy roadside attraction.

SoCalCoasters 0 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 They should really be spending their money on re-tracking their coasters or getting friendlier staff.  Two Things For The Coasters:  Topper Track & Timberliners  One thing for grouchy staff:  The boot Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 133 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 We were talking about this aspect of the 'resort' in another thread. Especially the staff, and hotel, etc. I really don't think they'll ever change so at least we can just keep visiting when they put something in that's decent and try to ride it before it's gone to hell!

cfc 32 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 My impression was that the water park was Mt. Olymous's main draw, so this makes sense to me. Link to post Share on other sites

odene497 0 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Poseidon's Fury really is wonderful to just stand near and watch as people tumble towards the shore. Those waves are absurd. Link to post Share on other sites

Â Since you get i the place free if you stay at any hotel in the Dells the place is extremely crowded. If you even go into the wave pool you will get slammed into people every time a wave comes. There is more people than water in their waterpark most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites

COASTER FREAK 11 5 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 THEY ARE TAKING OUT THE PINK SLIDE OF DEATH?! That's so sad, I loved that slide. For anyone who doesn't remember, take a quick look here: 2007 TPR Midwest Tour Link to post Share on other sites
deathbydinn 0 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I heard that the mat racer was being removed for it, so I asked about it and they said nothing's being removed. I thought it would've gone in the land right next to the pink slide since that has more space then infront of them, so I imagine it'll be a pretty tight fit. Link to post Share on other sites
jopelt 0 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The one thing that i would like this park to have is some faster way of getting from one side to the other! it takes forever... they should also fix some of their go cart tracks as well Link to post Share on other sites

cwsr 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/mtolympuspark  HADES 360  Coming in 2013!  World’s First upside down wooden rollercoaster!  Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park announces plans to unveil its newest addition and structural landmark as the famous underground wooden coaster Hades will transform to become the world first all wooden rollercoaster with an upside down roll coming spring 2013.  Hades 360 will be a unique technological marvel integrating the underground uniqueness of Hades and adding a 360 degree upside down loop and a 135 degree over-banked turn. Plus Hades 360 will also be equipped with a new state of the art rollercoaster train, giving riders the feel of riding on a steel coaster. Utilizing this state-of-the-art train by Gravity Group, Hades 360 will be the world’s longest underground and have world’s only upside down roll on an all wooden rollercoaster. Hades 360 will be the first to deliver an awe-inspiring wooden coaster thrill all while in the vast world of Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park.  With its unique construction, Hades 360 will have:  • The World’s First completely upside down roll on an all wooden coaster  • The World’s longest underground track measuring 800 feet underground  • A 90 degree turn underground in complete darkness  • A 135 degree over-banked turn  • A staggering drop of 140 feet with an amazing drop angle of 65 degrees  • Total length of 4,725 feet  • A 160 foot incline to the top drop  • A blazing top speed of 70 mph  Hades 360 will be a force to be reckoned with and a unique technological marvel, taking the classic wooden support structure and technically integrating an upside down roll into the existing track. The upgrade to Hades 360 will be engineered and constructed by Gravity Group, the same group that designed the original Hades. The Hades 360 transformation will exceed far beyond any mortal’s expectations. This innovation is so new in the amusement industry, it has never been done before.  Edited May 25, 2013 by robbalvey Link to post Share on other sites
Shavethewhales 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Well that was unexpected... but aside from the erroneous 'World's first' claims, I'm very excited to see this. The Gravity Group is really stepping up in response to RMC. Competition is once again stirring up all kinds of innovation within the industry. Who knows what GCII will pull out of the hat next...

jynx242 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Hmmm - Timberliners are actually going on one of GG's Huge coasters. Could Voyage be coming soon????? Link to post Share on other sites
GrapesLie 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The first. Really! Is this thing opening before March because Outlaw run sure opens then. Link to post Share on other sites
ValleyfairFan 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I think the basis for the "argument" that Mount Olympus marketing will be making is that theirs is all wood, whereas Outlaw Run (and Iron Rattler) will utilize Steel track and a wood frame. Link to post Share on other sites
Shavethewhales 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 ^But Outlaw Run is still marketed as a wooden coaster, regardless of how various enthusiasts view it. I wonder if there will be any legal complaints about this with all marketing hubbub being what it is. Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyRCT3 0 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Multiple things wrong here. Â -Not the first "upside down roll" Outlaw run already has two, so that claim is false. -It will only have the longest underground tunnel, and only barrel roll on a wooden coaster -This coaster is not "all-wood" Â Â -The coaster will steal the "steepest non-inverted turn" record from Millennium Force(which has three, 122* overbanked turns) Edited November 13, 2012 by JonnyRCT3 Link to post Share on other sites
SharkTums 133 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 We're discussing this in the IAAPA Thread as well! Â We will also have more photos and video tonight about it! Link to post Share on other sites
larrygator 7 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The announcement doesn't make any mention of the world's least attentive/motivated ride operators? Link to post Share on other sites
