 Review of Hades @ Mount Olympus Theme Park
3 Rating Posted by: coaster05 on 7/6/2005 8:55:00 PM
Let me start by saying this ride truly delivered what it was supposed to. If it was not in this pigsty, customer service that make you wish for the old Great Adventure, take your money ripoff it would even better. As is even with those things going against it, it is one of my favorite woodies. APPEARANCE-9 the coaster gets a ten the lack of trash cans or employees to pick up trash take off a point since you have to walk through candy wrappers and other things just to get there. CAPACITY-6 Definately its weakest point. Its a 4,000 foot plus coaster with one train. If you want to charge big boy park prices then you need to run your park like a big boy. They do save time by not checking your lap bar or talk to you in any way. RIDE QUALITY-10 This thing is pure crazy. You get about three airtime hills before the lift chain. The back has major intensity. The tunnel is very long and can really freak you out. The very end could be a little stronger. FUN-10 After you ignore the loading station this is really fun. I would loved to have rode more than twice, but I just couldnt make myself stay there. RERIDE 10/1 If I somehow went back to this abomination I would definately be doing it for another ride on this coaster. However I will never cough up the 32.00 dollars to go back here so who knows? OVERALL 45/36 avg -9.0 I am going against my avg since I am trying to ignore my distaste for this park. Maybe I caught it on a bad day. This is definately a ten ride if I have ever seen one. It is a shame and a unique pun that you have to go to amusement park hell to ride a fantastic ride named Hades.

Its funny when you say that you have to go to "amusement park hell" to ride, when Hades is the ruler of the underworld(hell). Very nice review!

Coaster05, Im psyched that you liked Hades, but Im bummed that you had such a bad exerience at Mt. Olympus. I was there last week, and while I agree that the ride attendants would more aptly be described as ride non-attendants, I really liked the park as a whole. I loved the terrain and the wooded setting, and it certainly wasnt dirty the days I visited, one of which was quite crowded. I wouldnt write them off just yet. I think you caught them on an off day. As for the second train on Hades, I was thinking the same thing, but they would definitely have to find some way of motivating the staff before that would be safe or efficient. The weird thing is that the go-kart tracks all ran like clockwork, and the rules were closely enforced. I used to consider Kennywood THE place to go for wooden roller coasters, but I now believe the Dells area has a better line-up.

I watched the go karts turn into a demolition derby without a single warning and I like the are by the coasters but the rest of the park is way below average appearance wise. IMO
