Hades was new for 2005 at Mt. Olympus Theme Park
in Wisconsin Dells. There was much interest in this coaster as
it was being built. Designed by The Gravity Group (many former
CCI employees) was enough to pique the enthusiast community's
interest, but when early photos popped up showing the ride with
an extended underground section it became the talk of the off-season.
Then shortly before the 2005 season began a few photos of what
went down in that underground part essentially made this the 'must-ride'
wooden coaster of 2005. These shots showed a wide turn banked
at a full 90 degrees. Hell, I'm no different than anyone else
and Hades became part of our 2005 plans.
I'm glad to say this ride lives up to all the
hype and while this video doesn't include footage of the pitch
black underground portion of the ride (it'd just be black anyways)
- it does give a good idea of the insanity this coaster delivers.
As a bonus I tacked some additional Mt. Olympus footage onto the
end. Enjoy!
