Woodie Warrior Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I forget, was the actual Pilgrim's Plunge scrapped or simply removed? I'm pretty sure it was scrapped, but I'm not sure. I don't think there's any chance any park buys a similar ride anytime soon, though.

Beni_Rodriguez Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 They are selling their summer passes right now for $10.00. Valid from Memorial Day to Labor Day 2016.
Beni_Rodriguez Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 Yepper. They will try to get you with the $20 parking each time. I'll be dropping people off and parking down the road. Might bring a small bike / skateboard.

Farley Flavors Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 They are selling their summer passes right now for $10.00. Valid from Memorial Day to Labor Day 2016. Can I presume from this that the park doesn't open until Memorial weekend? Currently planning a road trip and I had a visit pencilled in for Thursday 19th. May...
n1ch0las Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 ^I've ridden coasters there as early as the first week of April. It really depends on the crowds they are predicting, whether the rides are ready and if they have the staff to operate them. There is no rhyme, reason or schedule for what and when they open attractions, so typically I call a couple of days ahead and tell them to give me their best guess.
SoCalJasonland Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Do they still have a log ride? I don't see one on their website.

Last year they shut down Hades360 before the season was over. If I remember correctly it was in early October. I would recommend calling first as mentioned.
Beni_Rodriguez Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Do they still have a log ride? I don't see one on their website. No log fume at Mount Olympus. There is one down the road (less than a mile from Mt. Olympus) at Timber Falls Adventure Park. Besides having a log fume they also have a kick a** woodie called Hellcat.

I would say it's the best coaster in the Dells. Did Mt Olympus used to have a log flume? I was just watching a DVD that had some footage on the park, and they had a weird looking water flume ride. Kinda like the journey to Atlantis ride at SeaWorld San Antonio.
Fingers Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 ^Why yes they did. I was only there once when it was there and on 3 separate occasions that day i saw it valley on the dip up top. You can also check out the RCDB page. Pretty interesting ride that had a short life. Probably the biggest surprise is that it was not taken out because it sent someone to the hospital or worse

I'll give them a call before heading up.
thrillrider Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I hated that Dive to Atlantis ride so hard... Lol.... I believe the footage of the ride was from your coaster expedition dvd's. The Same One As The umm....Game show For Dogs in Japan.
n1ch0las Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 ^ Holy poo-poo that looks ratchet. Been on it! Can confirm...awful ride. I guess if there is one positive about the occasional trip to Mt Olympus it's that you'll always be surprised by something new each time!
John Peck Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Here are some pics I took of the new ride when I went in August. Easily my worst park experience ever in terms of crowds and the way the park was run. Too bad, it could have so much potential. 100 feet of fun.. it was really good it replaced the bumper boats where Opa was... soooo empty for the advertised "indoor amusement park" $7.00 tickets... we got ours for $5. and $20 to park. WTF!
gtman316 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 That place is becoming more of a joke every year. I used to really enjoy going there. Now when I go to the Dells I don't even drive past it.
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 The Dining area looks better than it was. I'm not kidding when I say the tables used to have umbrellas. And they are selling $15 summer passes. Enjoy the crowds.
Farley Flavors Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 Sounds like they are more concerned about filling up their hotel rooms. Their home page is quite amusing. "TODAY'S SPECIAL. THIS OFFER ENDS AT MIDNIGHT. Save Up To $120 Off Nightly." Along with a countdown to midnight timer to hammer the message home. Except TODAY'S SPECIAL has been exactly the same every day for about a month.

rosscoe Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Awful park, a couple of the coasters where ok. Liked the one that you had to be over 18 to sit in the back seat. The only saving grace was the bar that was open!
