MtOlympus.com Wisconsin Dells
My first trip to MtOlympus.com Water and Theme Park came this year in early August. We had heard great things about Mt Olympus since it was transformed from Family Land into the mega park that it is today. We knew Zeus Playground
We had a plan to start off the day at MtOlympus.com with the roller coasters at the outdoor theme park called Zeus Playground. First off, the roller coasters seem to be the biggest attractions there, so we wanted to experience them before the lines got too long. Secondly, the temperature was 75 degrees when we arrived, and we felt it would be best to wait until mid-day and the projected 82 degree high before we hit the water rides.
We then made our way to the first of the three main roller coasters, Cyclops. Walking up to the ride, we noticed that just like most of the roller coasters at MtOlympus.com , Then it was time to experience Hades, and the towering drop that is impossible to go unnoticed no matter where you are at MtOlympus.com . Hades was voted Best New Ride by Amusement Today in 2005 and received the 2005 Golden Ticket Award for Best New Ride by The Travel Channel…and I can see why. The first drop of 140 feet seems like nothing compared to the 65 degree 160 foot drop that sends you underground and unable to see a thing. If you like roller coasters and want some excitement, Hades will be your favorite ride at MtOlympus.com Water and Theme Park. After catching our breath and coming down from the rush, we decided to check out some of the other dry rides. With 9 go-kart tracks to choose from at MtOlympus.com , we weren’t quite sure which one to choose. We decided to try the Trojan Horse, mainly because it looked the coolest. The Trojan Horse is 3 stories tall and brings you around and around the famous landmark. The karts don’t go all to fast so it’s not dangerous at all. We later found out that there is an underwater go-cart track, Poseidon, which sounds extremely amazing and fun. All in all, I really don’t think it matters too much which track you choose as MtOlympus.com Water and Theme Park was voted the BEST place to go for go-karts by the Travel Channel. Basically, if you like go-karts, any one of the nine should do the trick. We finished up the dry rides at the Pegasus, another roller coaster. This one was not as fast and long as the 3 mentioned above, so it’s perfect for those who aren’t crazy about roller coasters or those with smaller children. It’s no sleeper though, so don’t get too comfortable. Time To Eat
By the time we finished up with Pegasus, we were both getting a bit hungry. We made our way back to the locker, got some money, and looked at the map for options. There are so many places to eat at MtOlympus.com Water and Theme Park including Food Lagoon, Delphi Coffee, Medusa Café, Admiral Benbows Pub and Grille (inside The Bay), Tidal Wave Concession Stand, Cousins Subs, My Big Fat Greek Pizza Joint, Greek Tycoon, and Cafe' Opa. We decided to get something quick and both got chicken tender baskets at the Greek Tycoon. It was actually quite good for being inside MtOlympus.com, and the price wasn’t too bad. Neptune's and The Parthenon
After lunch, it was time to hit up the water fun at Neptune’s Outdoor Waterpark. We came upon Triton, located right next to The Parthenon. By the way, for everyone who is bringing children to MtOlympus.com Water and Theme Park (which I’m guessing is the majority), be sure to spend some time in The Parthenon. Just outside The Parthenon is the Disco, which spins back and forth and rotates around and around. We then took a peak inside and saw The OPA roller coaster, Bumper Cars, The Spring Ride, The Tea Cups, and The Crazy Trolley. All of the rides are perfect for kids, and it seemed like this was the “kid hangout.” However, still note that there is a height limit on some of the rides. Back to Triton. Triton consists of three different 5-story water rides, Triton’s Fury, Triton’s Rage, and Triton’s Challenge. Needless to say, we tried them all. They are all family friendly rides. Triton’s Fury and Triton’s Rage are multi-person raft rides and allows an entire family to sit in one big tube and enjoy the ride down. However, you only need to have two people in the tube so it was still perfect for us. Triton’s Challenge is a bit different in the respect that you go down the speed slide by yourself. However, there are six side by side lanes which allow you to race friends, family, strangers, etc. My girlfriend and I raced 4 other people, and finished dead last because we started late (cough, cough). But I am happy to say that I did win against her! The Bay
After Triton, we checked out the 55,000 square foot indoor water park known as The Bay. Since the sun was shining, we didn’t spend too much time in here. We basically just wanted to see how it was for future reference and the next time we go to MtOlympus.com . We counted 9 slides, a hot tub, a lazy river, and countless kids play areas. The Bay looked brand new and was as clean as a whistle. We also noticed that The Bay was connected to Treasure Island, which is as convenient as you can get for resort guests. Even though it was rather crowded, I still think it would be better for the winter or a rainy day. Once we were out of The Bay, we headed towards the rest of the outdoor waterpark. But before we got there, we got sidetracked by the 18-hole mini golf course. I love golf of any variety, and I can’t pass up an opportunity to play, even if it’s just putting around. It is free to play and the course is in surprisingly good shape. I wouldn’t say it’s the most challenging course out there, but that’s good for families with small children and those looking for a cool down as we were. We both played pretty well, with a few bad holes here and there. I shot a 39 and Karla shot a 46…not bad. We were disappointed with our performances on the last hole though. If you make a hole in one on the last hole, you win a free trip to some destination. We were both looking forward to it, but I guess it just wasn’t our day. Back at Neptune's
Now it was finally onto the rest of Neptune’s. The Tidal Wave, one of the Midwest’s largest wave pools, was our first destination. After 10 minutes of wavy fun, we got out and moved onto some of the slides. MtOlympus.com has 37 water slides too choose from. We tried the four magnum body slides the Wipe Out, Kamikaze, Corkscrew and Twister first, then did the double barrel tube slide, and finally it was onto Demon’s Drop and Dragon’s Tail. I don’t know if we hit the right time, or if people were scared of the two single person speed slides, After these two, we needed a little break so we floated around the Endless River. Although we were a little old for the kid areas, there are a lot of options for the younger crowd at MtOlympus.com . There are two main water play areas for children, Huck’s Lagoon and Kiddie City, and if I was 10 years old again, this would a dream come true. Once we were done with Neptune’s and the outdoor water fun, we headed back to the locker and grabbed our towels to dry off. It was about 6 pm, and our fun day was winding down. We walked around the rest of the park to make sure we didn’t miss anything. We saw several gift shops located throughout MtOlympus.com, including Great Stuff Gift and Suntammer Gift Shop. There is also an Air Brush stand, caricature shop, and many many other things to see and enjoy while you are there. On our way out, we grabbed a dish of Dippin’ Dots banana split ice cream capping our picture perfect day. They advertise: 4 parks 1 admission…and they couldn’t be more right.
