Was there a reason as to why Dive to Atlantis was removed?

No idea, but its capacity of about 80 riders per hour could not have helped

[Jew]

I hated that Dive to Atlantis ride so hard...

 

I appreciate the fact you and Derek decided to wait an hour for it and we didn't!

An hour wait?! For this:

 

 

No thank you! . . . Wait. . . It's a credit right??

 

Okay, then I'll get in line. . .

Yeah. They replaced it with a Picnic Pavilion

 

 

Another reason for the Horrible Capacity was there were only 4 boats at a time. That's less then Spellbreaker that was at Legoland, California. (That's called Pandering)

It looks like their 2016 addition will be called The Pools of Delphi, but I couldn't find any information beyond that.

From the park's website.

Judging by the dirt piles, It's sandwiched between Pegasus and the highway. Required the removal of a go-kart track.

[Beni_Rodriguez]

High capacity water attraction. It's a business. A good business move on their part. As a rollercoaster enthusiast.....better service/operations followed by better up keep of rides is what I really want. Then........we can talk about a steel rollercoaster.

[RyanTPM]

There's not really much information on that addition, so i'm guessing that it's just what's in the picture right?

[Rollercoaster Rider]

Maybe it's a Pilgrims Plunge like ride?

[DirkFunk]

Maybe it's a Pilgrims Plunge like ride?

 

It looks like a splash pad with a dump bucket. I suppose it is high capacity in that they'll expect to squeeze hundreds of tourists into a small space.

[Paradox]

It's one of those plastic kiddie pools you can get at Walmart for $5

[thrillrider]

Instead of a new attraction, they should fix up what they currently have. We were on the fence about a few of the attractions being safe to ride.

The website is pointing out that the Little Titans coaster is now indoors. Is this something that they normally do in the off season, or has the ride been moved to make way for the new waterpark addition?

 

I read somewhere (might have been here) that the go cart track under the Pagasus coaster was being removed. It would be nice if they could redesign or reprofile that coaster to make it a bit more thrilling... those little bunny hops were a bit uninteresting.

[Jew]

Maybe they just wanted to fill the empty space left behind by the spinning mouse of death?

[djcoastermark]

that is what my first thought was too.

Lil Titans moved inside to accomodate the waterpark addition.

As for redesigning Pegasus:

Will be driving by in a couple weeks, is Hades 360 or any coaster even worth stopping off to get a couple rides in? I am also not interested in getting beat to crap while riding either.

 

Thanks

[n1ch0las]

^Hades will beat you to crap, sorry.

 

Zeus will too, but it *may* be bearable in the front seat.

 

Cyclops still rides pretty good, backseat or bust on that one though.

 

Don't forget to stop at Timberfalls and ride their coaster (Hellcat, or Avalanche...or something?) which is one of the few S&S designs out there.

[anewman35]

Just noticed that the indoor theme park is "closed for renovations" until the fall, and most of the rides have been moved outside.

^I'd say 'WTF' and 'That's Bizarre!', but this is Mt. Olympus so nothing surprises me.

For a second there I seriously thought it said "The Great Pool of Depth"

[djcoastermark]

Oh no no no . Knowing what I do about Mt O, why does this sound WAY to similar to the "It's A Da Pee" episode of South Park? (season 13 episode 14) I'm all for IP at theme parks but this is too much.

[King]

I should've read this thread before going to Mt Olympus. I thought Six Flags had poor ops until watching the Hades crew take 6 mins to dispatch a train.
