verticalzero Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I'm from the UK and planning a 3 week trip to visit the following parks: Six Flags Great America Timber Falls Mt Olympus Theme and Water Park (Can't wait to ride Hades, it looks amazing) Cedar Point I would be grateful if anyone can help me with "Motel 6" locations near to the park and the best route to them via a car. How would you rate the coasters at these parks..?
Reon Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Havent been to SF or Timber Falls yet, but I can give you the 411 on Mt O and CP. First up, Olympus... *Cyclops: Dont know about what you guys have in the UK, but this thing has INSANE airtime. Sit in the backseat to see for yourself. The ride is pretty sweet anyways, now that it rides through the other giants (Zues and Hades) *Zues: Honestly, this latest expansion killed it. The lost in the woods feeling is COMPLETELY gone, and even riding backseat, I no longer feel air. Dont get me wrong, its still a nice ride. I just refuse to rate it over the other rides there... *Hades: Airtime, twists, and the double pitch black tunnel of death. There is nothing wrong with this ride. When I rode, it was still brand new, so I dont know all of its kinks yet. Anywhere on the train makes for a good ride though. *Pegasus: Actually a nice little kiddy woodie. Theres moderate airtime, and it gives you a good view of some kart tracks... *Posiden and Little Titans: Havent ridden yet (closed down...) *Cart tracks: Two of the best tracks there are the Trojan horse and Atlantis (the one by Hades with airtime) Most of the tracks are nice though, so just hit whatever you can. *Other rides: Havent hit yet. I plan on going back to Mt O asap to hit the new additions... Hotelwise in the Dells, forget the Motel 6. This place is running wall to wall with waterpark hotels and such. Just treat yourself to Great Wolf or something.... (CP review to be eddited in in a while. Time on comp just ran out for now...)
larrygator Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 at Mt Olympus' the best go-kart track is Medusa's Drop, airtime on a go-kart rules. Don't waste your time on the Water coaster (Dive to Atlantis) at Mt. Olympus, unless there is absolutely no line. Capacity is only about 70-80 people per hour. Cyclops has that one great drop which produces the single most airtime I have ever experienced in the back seat. Avalanche is one of my top 5 woodies and Hades is also in my Top 10. I prefer the back for completey out of control rides with a lot of action. Even though you are not asking for tips, I'll remind you that discounted MtO electronic tickets can be purchased on their website. Also the nighttime wristband is all you have to get for TimberFalls. Don't expect good food at MtO but there are plenty of options in Wisconsin Dells
verticalzero Posted March 17, 2006 Author Posted March 17, 2006 Thank you so much for your replys as this will help me to plan my days at the parks. The most I have experienced is on "Colossos" at Heide-Park in Germany, is the on the coasters at these parks more than on "Colossos"..? ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'll find a Wendys/MD's or fast food place to eat.
