BeemerBoy Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Commentary on that video is absolutely classic... Yeah, his delivery sealed it. The "matter of fact" tone is pure win!
08stien Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I want to hang out with this guy... that was F'n hillarious! "why don't you put that in your pipe and smoke it" haha who says that right off the top of their head like that
Scarecrow513 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Well, I sure hope Hades is back up and running now. I picked a fine time to spend 3 days at Mount Olympus. I'll be there starting Wednesday June 17 with three grandkids. Guess I better hide the videos from them. Last year I called Hades the "coaster from hell" because it's so painful to ride yet kept going back for more of the absolute thrill of that drop into the tunnel. On the other hand, Cyclops was just plain painful and avoided like the plague after just one ride.
netdvn Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Atleast it didn't happen at Cursed... I mean Cedar Point.
spaceace12 Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^Pictures! At least give us a link dude! He posted pictures in a thread a couple weeks ago.
Guy T. Koepp Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^Perhaps I will clarify then. How about a link to that post.
cycamps Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 When I visited last month, it really seemed to creep over that hill, and I found myself wondering if there are times when it doesn't make it over. Now I have closure!
Mechanic Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Wow, who knew Adam Sandler was into filming coasters?
Electerik Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 ^I agree with Erik. This might be my favorite post ever. Realistically, though, anyone dorky enough to count "credits" probably wouldn't be stuck with just that one ride for very long. And even if they were, they'd probably totally get off on saying their count was "224.5" or whatever. I know I would.
deathbydinn Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Link I think this is a very smart move for the park. It's something with high capacity, provides something for everyone, and brings some modern slides into the park. I'm excited to finally have the chance to ride a Boomerango, and hopefully that and the raft slide will help reduce the wait for the current two, which can get very long and slow lines. The bowl slide looks like great fun too, as it seems to be one of the models with a ladder inside, instead of dropping you any which way into a pool below. Edited December 20, 2011 by deathbydinn
SharkTums Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 ^I really like those Boomerang slides, happy to see more of them being built.
hulahoop1 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I think tis is a good choice for Mt. Olympus, but it needs a roller coaster like a steel one.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Great addition! Especially for Wisconsin Dells. Mount Olympus does need something more modern into the water park, whether it was a water coaster, or this, but it definitely fit the bill! Hope to return next year.
SharkTums Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 ^Please don't ever remind me of Mt. Olympus' water coaster!!!!!!
bottom_feeder_13 Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 I wonder how much these things cost because I'd love to have one in my back yard. Daydreaming aside it looks like a great addition, now if only someone would start a waterpark near were I live and add one of these as well as a few other slides.
Jew Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Shane, are you paying attention to this? Boomerango on a play structure? Seems like a great idea!
Commando Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 They should really be spending their money on re-tracking their coasters or getting friendlier staff.
linearinduction Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Shane, are you paying attention to this? Boomerango on a play structure? Seems like a great idea! Joey, I'm sure he's thought about it, especially considering the ideas he's shown me! I can say with almost 100% Certainty that there is no way we could put one off of our Structure at Cowabunga Bay. - Sid
HowieP Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 They should really be spending their money on re-tracking their coasters or getting friendlier staff. Or both! I've heard the horror stories of Mt. Olympus.
1pizza14 Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 How exactly do the bowl slides with stairs work? Do you spin around in the bowl, stop than climb out on the stairs? What happens if you hit them while sliding? (sorry, I have never seen that model before)
deathbydinn Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 ^Here's what the inside of the bowl looks like: http://www.whitewaterwest.com/spacebowl.html
BaMiTsPaT Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 When I heard that Mt. Olympus had announced Lost City of Atlantis I thought it'd be something amazing...then I remembered that most attractions at Mt. Olympus have amazing names. It's still nice to see Mt. Olympus building something.
cal1br3tto Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Now if only it will draw people away from the coaster queues... Oh, and quoting for truth: They should really be spending their money on re-tracking their coasters or getting friendlier staff. With their coasters they could be Holiday World Wisconsin...instead they may be one of the worst parks in the nation. Such a shame.
