I might have to temporarily lift my Wisconsin embargo to head up there.
No offense to people in Cheese Land but, your state sucks. :)

I guess you haven't seen this link yet. It has updated pictures(December) of Hades. It looks like it is coming along great. I've also heard that it will only have 1 train, which will suck if that is true.(Hopefully there will be 2.)

I also heard that Mt. Olympus Theme Park had it mentioned at NCC that Hades will have 93 degree banking in one of the tunnels.(Which makes it the highest banked wooden roller coaster anywhere.)

It's definitely not likely that I would be going. I might go up there for the Wisconsin State Fair, so I might have a chance going to Mount Olympus.

Wow 93 degrees is insane. I hope the lines still aren't that long.

Ok I just checked RCDB, and they have updated pictures of Hades. It also says that there will only be one train with 5 cars. The lenght of the ride is 4726 feet, so I think that you only get to do the track circuit once per ride. The pictures might be from awhile ago, and were just never posted, because there is no snow in any of the pictures.

The pics on RCDB have been on the Gravity Group's website for weeks now and are from December.

Oh yeah, duh. Maybe I should've remembered to add the link to this post. I must have been very stupid that day. :wink: (This would've given the link to those pictures.)

The line for Coaster Con is going to be ridiculous, but the rest of the time I don't see it getting too long.

They would have put in more trains if they were expecting more people.

Gaaaa.... am I the only one who, every time this topic floats to the top, gets a dirty mind and reads the title as "Is anybody going to mount Olympus?"

...I'm sure it's just me. College tends to have that effect.
