Hades really is the perfect storm, not only the trains and manufacturer, but the park as well. I guarantee if that ride was at holiday world it would run much smoother
Haven't ridden it in 3 or 4 years but when I rode it it wasn't rough at all. It was just extremely snappy and forceful and in the dark much of the ride. People often confuse the two. I loved it, it's in my top 5 woodies but I get why people don't like it.
I don't think I would want it too 😄 what a thrill. What would make that ride even better would be lights in that tunnel. A Worm hole kind of effect lol - I mean you'd come out the other side tripping 😨
The layout is fantastic however it’s just so rough!
these newer Gravity Group projects scare the shit out of me just because of how bad MineBlower hurt me.
@@ThemeParkWorldwidewhen will you go to kings island
I stay up each night waiting for your videos & they never disappoint. I go to sleep with a smile every night. Thanks guys awesome video yet again. Hope your back is ok Shaun, so glad you didn’t go on hades again Charlotte we don’t need 2 of you hurting. Can’t wait to see the next video woohoo 🙌🏻 drive safely both much love ❤️ Lisa
Thank you for your kind words
My. Olympus was actually a go cart park called "big chief's" that eventually added coasters (starting with cyclops.). As they grew and added more coasters, they eventually bought the hotel and water park next door. After that, they expanded the water park area and added an indoor amusement area. (My timeline could be off a little bit. It's been many years lol)
Thanks for sharing!
Pegasus looks like the closest thing to a wooden wild mouse left in the western and northern hemisphere (thanks Blackpool).
Really wanted a Hades back row pov! Would’ve been TPW comedy gold!! 😂😂
I massively appreciate the POVs thank you both 47:32
Thank you
these videos are the highlight of my day 😅
That’s great to hear!
"As you can see, we have a waiting time of "Open."". - caught me off guard. 🤣
I love how both zeus and hades 360 are next to eachother! Its like the 2 greek gods are battling one another
i always start with Zeus and then head to Hades 360 afterward. if you are a single rider, they often ask for a single rider and you can skip the vast majority of the line if you luck out lmao
I’d be sure to wear my “trainers” through the “car park” on my way to the “loo”, then be sure to get some “crisps”! 😂😂😂. Just teasing you both! Excellent, excellent tour of U.S. parks!! Very informative, lots of fun, and excellent information!! Thank you! You’re both adorable!!! 👍👍👍
Pegasus is like someone's first go at designing a coaster on RCT/Planet Coaster
I think it was built to fit around a kart track that has since been removed, hence why it looks like that.
@@gemmachaos ahh makes sense
Maybe it's a baby pegasus just learning how to fly, LOL.
square corners 😂
LMFAO this is so hilarious
i actually liked Pegasus better than Cyclops but i've heard Cyclops is way better in the back row
I think Gravity Group coasters are fantastic, intense and aggressive. Park maintenance seems to be an issue with Hades.
I rode Hades 360 in 2019.. I couldn’t get enough of it. I loved this coaster. Hades 360 and Zeus are the rideable coasters in the park. Loved the go carts there too. We spent 5 days there.
It’s a crazy ride!
Love your exciting, amusing and fun vlogs. They are getting me through my post operation days. Thank you soooo much❤
Thank you!
Hades 360 definitely is one of those roller coasters that looks better off ride than on ride. Also, I was curious when on the travel vlog on The Sambrooke Adventures you said that something was wrong with your spine and I can see why now. Hope you guys enjoyed your visit!
Definitely. It was very rough!
@@ThemeParkWorldwidei really really really hope you guys visit kings islaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
Great video once again!! Yeah, Mt Olympus looks like a water park that added a few coasters. I agree a nice steel coaster would be a great fit! 👍🏾
My. Olympus was actually a go cart park called "big chief's" that eventually added coasters (starting with cyclops.). As they grew and added more coasters, they eventually bought the hotel and water park next door. After that, they expanded the water park area and added an indoor amusement area.

Hades looks amazing. I really like the underground section into the inversion.
It’s a great layout however so rough!
@@ThemeParkWorldwideyeah if you’re a European wimp
Such a unique park! Looks like a lot of fun. love the ancient Greek theme
I think the park is to blame for Hades roughness, not Gravity Group. The Voyage, for example, is glass smooth from constant retracking done by the park. However, that could be the benefit of the PTC trains as well. Nonetheless, great video!
the timberliner trains may be the single worst trains i’ve ever ridden in
The Timberliner trains are definitely a major part of the problem
sure you can blame the park but Gravity Group's MineBlower at Funspot is just as brutally rough(before the RMC 208 retrack)....
it needed the RMC treatment after only 5 years of operation
@@Posirep that was mostly likely a lack of park maintenance as well as the Florida heat
@@drewbarnett9852 To be fair, MineBlower was very rough on the first day it opened. That's unacceptable.
Such a unique layout on that Hades 360! Never seen a coaster go underground like that. Very Impressive design!
Charlottes reaction right after hades 360 😂😂 made me laugh out loud at work lol oops
It was crazy!
that was funny and it made laugh with Shaun lying on the floor after going on that wooden coaster
wow i loved hades 360 going under ground that was so cool!!!!!
That last turn on Pegasus tho 😫
Hades looks like absolute madness.! Great vlog guys.!
Thank you!
The Dells consider themselves the water park capitol of the world. Noah’s Ark is the largest in the world it’s massive
There’s so many!
@@ThemeParkWorldwideheeeeeeeey have fun guuuys
@@ThemeParkWorldwideI saw you at six flags a couple weeks ago
@@Preppykellucky, lol
I live 15 mins from here. Grew up in the dells and still go basically everyday. The dells ain’t special ghetto asf.
As a Wisconsinite, I love my Olympus and the whole dells… I live in a town of 2k, we don’t have much so this is huge to us folk
As a Wisconsinite myself and someone who has visited Mt. Olympus numerous times, I just want to apologize that you had to subject yourself to the absolute horrors of this park.
😂 Hi from England, this post sums up my thoughts from this park visit. Looked truly horrendous haha!
Same thought from this Wisconsinite too. The Dells is for waterparks (cough cough... Noah's Ark or nothing... cough cough) and should stick to what they do well!
@@oppositeofamnesia haha i have a bit of a soft spot for Mt. Olympus, but yeah it is indeed a pretty rough amusement park lol. if you keep an open mind though, you can have a good time lol
I'm so happy that wickerman wasn't a gravity group
Hades is my favorite roller coaster. It’s amazing how fast it goes.
I'm grateful for the coverage you've given this park, and Hades 360 in particular. I only hope they are able to take the criticism to heart and take steps to improve that ride. I was able to ride it before the inversion, i think, and it was brutal then. Here's hoping they see fit to invest in that ride as a bona fide attraction to the park and resort which are overall really well themed and fun.
Thank you!
Actually good to see the park looking a bit better than it did a few years ago. When I last went Hades was the smoothest and most re-rideable coaster there! Zeus was quite possible the worst woodie I'd ever ridden and the rest of the coasters were almost as bad! Hopefully they can do to Hades whatever they've done to the other rides to make them rideable! I also rode both versions Hades (with and without inversion) albeit with a PTC train and thought that the inversion neither made it better or worse just different!
Perhaps on a future trip you could take a day to explore places like Wisconsin Dells (Branson Missouri is a similar place) as there's all sorts of things to visit (aside from all the water parks and crazy golf there are walkthroughs, dark rides, probably some small coasters, wacky museums) but it's but it's hard to know what's where and what's good.
40:48 Hades 360 ‘was’ one of my bucket list coasters but after seeing Shawn like this I’m not sure it is anymore 😂
Shawn: "Hades 360 isn't as bad as I thought"
Me: "Oh you haven't sat towards the back, did you?"
(later in the video)
Shawn:
Me: "I see you got a taste of the bass once you sat away from row one!" 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely awful!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide And I rode 360 (in the middle seats) the year it opened with the loop! I don't think they retracked the rest of the ride! I got off with tears in my eyes and holding my back! 🤕
30:50 they should make the slides see through so u can see what happens on the inside
Ooofff I’m in pain just watching 🫣
Many thanks for the POV’s and the vlog too ❤
Another great vlog! Thanks guys 😁
Your videos never disappoint! Keep it up and can’t wait for the next one!
Thank you
They used to have faster / more powerful carts, for some reason they got these junk carts that can't make it up the horse ramp anymore. Hade's 360 is like what "The Beast" at Kings Island used to be, so rough it's nearly unridable. However The Beast has been retracked and it's amazing now, Can't wait for you guys to ride it later in the trip, if you haven't already.
OMG, a roller coaster that actually made Shawn cry uncle, LOL! Looks like Shawn won a couple of battles, but Hades won the war. In all seriousness, though, it's always a shame when a bad coaster could be great with a little tweaking. I suspect that this park may not have the cash flow it would take to fund an RMC makeover, but I'd love them to prove me wrong!
From the POV, Hades 360 looks like the best woodie in the world...shows how deceptive POVs can be! 🥴
If only it wasn’t so rough!
There is one of those spinning water slides in Poland at a place called Aqua Park Reda. Haven’t been but seen it online. Might be worth a visit when your next over there!
Wonderful video! Mt. Olympus is fun for sure and I hope you were able to see some other things in the Dells. The Deer Park is particularly incredible.
I visited Mt. Olympus with my family in 2006, and even then, the ramp into the Trojan horse was closed due to safety concerns. It's a shame because it's an iconic sight from the road that attracts people to the park. They should fix that and also address the issues with Hades. I understand the need to lay down on a hard surface after a third ride, especially if you sit towards the back! It was rough before they added the inversion and new trains. I haven't ridden it since. It's one of the few coasters people from my hometown, 2.5 hours west, know about because The Dells is a popular local vacation spot. Hades looks amazing from the road, and the park concept is there, but it feels unfinished (i.e. such as hyper-themed archway next to a plain building). Wisconsin Dells is a tourist trap full of gimmicks, and unfortunately, Mt. Olympus, including Hades, reflects that mentality. I agree that it has a great layout, but it needs re-tracking or an RMC conversion to address the roughness and make it enjoyable to ride again. IMO, Mt. Olympus has more to offer than Fun Spot Atlanta, and an RMC'd Hades would greatly attract visitors since it's the only theme park/amusement park in The Dells.
Thanks for sharing!
Brill vlog love the onride, so funny lying on the floor haha
The moment I heard Mt Olympus was on your trip, I had to see what you thought of Pegasus and Hades 360. Straight up Roller Coaster Tycoon rides those are.
It’s crazy!
Hades could be world class . I rode both the original and the new and I love it for how crazy it is . But it just needs that little tlc
I remember having those little dipping dots like 20 years ago!!! I thought it was a dream because Never been able to find them in the UK. They’re amazing
Those wooden coasters, scream, indie park! From how they ride. The layouts. The lack of banking.
WOWZAA what incredible coasters the 360 under car park was crazy lol. Wonderful experience thank you both. Stay safe and don't forget Ryan Hall y'all hopefully the severe weather won't affect you. This is an amazing journey you're taking us on in my opinion thankyou. Some of those rides needed neck pillows lol
Wisconsin Dells slogan is the "waterpark capital of the world." Too funny that you two didnt know about the dells before you went. Just went for the coasters. I don't think anyone goes to Wis Dells for the few coasters there... except you two! 😂 I hope you both took some time to check out the downtown area shops, restaurants, and took a tour on the Wisconsin Ducks (amphibious vehicles) there to see the beautiful views and bluffs aling the Wisconsin river. The Dells has so much to offer besides those 5 small coasters. 😂
I think the main issue with Hades 360 is less to do with Gravity Group, and more to do with Mount Olympus' terrible record of maintaining the thing. The ride has been in need of a retrack for seemingly a decade now, and they thought they could just throw Timberliner's on it and fix all the roughness issues it had with the PTC's.
Gravity Group's tend to be aggressive coasters, yes. But that unbearably rough is horrific, and only falls on the park. Perfect example is, Voyage at Holiday World, is probably the only ride more insane than Hades 360, and it runs relatively fine (a bit rough in spots), compared to it.
Nice, they must have hammered in a few nails before you arrived!
Looks a good park those dippin dots look lovely
They are so tasty
Hi shawn and Charlotte Wow shawn please be careful of your spine. It's seems to me it's a accident waiting to happen on hades 360 . Enjoyed the vlog some amazing wooden coasters. I hope you feel better soon. Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 Xx
You two lol 😂 , Thank you soo much for this vlog , keeping me company while I was waiting for a scan at the hospital 😊
👍...Hades 360!😮
Ooo I don't think I'd be brave enough to ride it again Shawn haha well done to you. I totally agree with the lack of variety. Thank you for sharing with us! x
If you visit another Walmart, in the freezer section they sell generic dipping dots. I like the banana split flavor.
Really like Mt Olympus, great park in a great area. Would be great for a short break or long weekend.
Now this is cool
I’ve waited so long for this vlog from Mt Olympus for your reactions on Hades 360 !!! Sorry but Gravity Group do make some outstanding coasters but those Timberliners need to go or at least redesigned as they are awful, ok on smaller family coasters like Wood Express but on Mine Blower and others…….no thanks lol
The Timberliner trains are awful!
hades looks so fun
Great vlog! Seems like you and Charlotte had a fun time at Mt. Olympus Theme Park! Hades 360 was a really fun ride! Except it was uncomfortable for both of you guys! This is a park I really want to visit in the future!
Awesome Video Guys
Stand aside Steel Vengeance, here comes Hades lol.
Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte, Shawn I truly feel sorry for you that you were in massive pain after your 2nd ride on Hades 360. You did the right thing by having a 5 minute break
Brilliant vlog
Going here in 3 days I’m sooo excited
this would be the perfect park for a entire roller coaster to be built with titian track lol
wow as i watch your adventures across america, makes me want to travel but i cant for loads of reasons which sadden me, i have watched all your trips to the different theme parks, i may not have commented to all of them, but they all were very exciting and enjoyable!!
Thanks for joining us!
HADES is definitely intense! Great vlog ❤
I love hades 360’s layout
What does the park count in the USA, a Googolplex perhaps? High energy food, High energy rough woodies to flex those muscles, must admit i'm a wee bit overwhelmed.😂😂 I really appreciate being able to see these parks. Thank-you, and hey keep having fun so we can too. Woohoo.
Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Mt. Olympus Theme Park located in Wisconsin, USA! In this vlog from the 9th theme park of our USA Road Trip, we share on ride povs from all of the major rides at the park, including Hades 360, the most uncomfortable roller coaster I've ever experienced. We also ride Zeus, Cyclops, and Pegasus along with experiencing the go-karts and checking out the large water park also on offer! keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte, I can't write to see the next one on the channel. 😀😎🤩👍👍
Hades 360 is a elite wooded coaster but you really should just ride it once pre day if you care about your back 😂
Hades looked fantastic my favourite of the tour so far I like the rough riders 😂
It was crazy!
Shawn I hope your spine has recovered now , Charlotte definitely made the right choice not going on again .xx
Hades 360 looks like Wicker Man on steroids!! 🤣
I have been home with pneumonia for a couple of weeks, so your US trip could not have come at a better time for me. Keep up the good work!
Damn that water slide, I just watched tho POV, that's among the craziest things I've ever seen!
These videos are awesome! I'm from the USA but I dont get out much so seeing all of this is awesome
Thank you!
Cyclops is actually great in the back row
At the end of the roadtrip can you do a ranking of all the parks you went to Sean vs Charlotte 😃😃
These rides seriously 😯 me and my better half we're coming out of retirement 😄
What an adventure, you two are a shining light - we thought we had picked our favourite ride so far on your trip but then another surprise pops up.
And what about those stop overs 😲 Bates Motel or what 😉
not all of them ofcourse lol. Another great vlog thankyou for sharing 💙💙
Thank you for watching!
What would you say has been the roughest coaster you’ve ridden so far? I’m curious now.
Loving the USA series! Hope you both have an amazing rest of your trip, looking forward to all the upcoming vlogs 😊
Definitely this! It’s the most uncomfortable roller coaster I’ve ever experienced!
Hadn’t watch the end clip when I asked the question.. ouch!! Hope your back recovers 😅
Think it's called "Stampede" at Porta Aventura Spain, found that woody to be rough.
@@robertgray1756 that’s my most ruff coaster ever! I had bruises all over!
Looks like a good place to take the family if youre already in the area. Water park looks decent too.
Shawn and Charlotte,
A nice family park, too bad you couldn't real get into the water stuff:)
Charlotte, I understand how you feel about some of those water rides, but with all the
heat those pools must have looked really inviting:)
Shawn,
I feel your pain ,I wonder how many people have complained about that one,if it got you
than..wwwhooow!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Cyclops back row before they redid the second hill was awesome
Great vlog looking forward to your next one
Sean the go cart speed demon lol ;)
If mount olympus is dead, good luck riding hades, apparently you need a full train for hades to operate. So someone has to go to the entrance of hades and try to get as many people in the queue as possible so the train can fill up
Sucks when a ride looks great and it ends up being too rough or too intense and you black out a second. I always black out for a sec on rip ride rockit
You really missed something if you didn’t give Cyclops a go in the back car. Quite a contrast to the front. And I wish you could’ve experienced Avalanche, the little woodie that was at a “park” just up the road (2004 - 2017). It put all the Mt Olympus attractions to shame.
As always, thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thanks for sharing!
Seeing Shawn laying down after Hades summed up the ride. Never rode it, but even from POV's you can tell its gonna be rough. Needs RMC to come and put their 208 track on it or GCI to fully redo the ride with wood
It was crazy!
5:07 Charlotte’s reaction 😂
All these woodies have the toughest pinfari like break runs where it's like 40/50 to 0 in a second lol. Along with some of the most janky banking(or lack there of) ever 🤣. So glad my home park is Knoebels. I felt so bad for Charlotte after each ride she looked to not have the best ride experiences 🤣
You should have done Medusa. Queue was only 20 minutes when full and it was one of the best water slide experiences I’ve ever done…
That place used to be called big chief go kart, started adding roller coasters in the 90s
That was me i didnt want to ever mean streak in my life. I couldn't wait to get off the ride
