Hades - New for 2005 at Mt. Olympus Theme Park.

Hades.

The ride begins with this drop out of the station!

The opening drop is followed by this rising turn.

And immediately into a double-down providing sufficient airtime.

Followed by a tight turn delivering solid lateral forces.

Then finally you climb to the top of the 136 foot high lift hill.

You're dropped 140 feet directly into the portion of the ride that resides underground (under the parking lot) and features, among other moments, and turn banked a full 90 degrees..

The train pops out on the far side of the parking lot near the main strip (Hwy 12) of Wisconsin Dells for all to see.

This is the portion of the ride across the parking lot. It resides all by itself far from the park.

A train going over the peak of the 'out' section of the ride.

From there you drop into this banked turn.

And then over this small airtime hill that dives into the temple and back under the parking lot.

You pop out of the underground portion of the ride the second time right beside where
you first went under and speed directly into this large airtime hill.

The ride ends with a large undulating turn that circles around and among the pre-lift portion of the ride.

Hades was the highly anticpated first offering from The Gravity Group, a company made up mostly of former CCI (Custom Coasters International) employees.

Hades is 4726 feet long and features 2 extended periods of ride time that take place underground.

Right now (summer 2005) the coaster runs one 5-car train. Word has it that we can expect this to change in the future with the addition of another train or even additional cars for the train(s). We'll see, I guess.

A look at the portion of the ride near the highway from a different angle.
The curves are very reminiscent of Roller Coaster Tycoon creations to me.

The loading station is quite elevated and getting there requires climbing more than a few stairs.
