Well I was having Cabin Fever and...

Let us know how your day at the park was.

Well ever since November, I've Wanted to Goto Mt. Olympus and Knuckleheads To ride their coasters. On Friday, While I was watching Steven Lynch sing, My mom and my dad finally said we're going on Saturday. (3/28) I was really happy and went to be an hour early cause' we were going to leave at 8am. Well long story short, My dad woke up late and messed us all up.

He then says at the last minute to go to Burger King and get their Crossaint Sandwiches. Well anyway the drive there was around 2-3 Hours and me and my mom (My dad was in the Back Reading the Newspaper and sleeping) played the alphabet game 2x and Listened to "I am America, and So Can You" by Stephen Colbert on CD. We got to Wisconsin Dells and Aparently Google thought we were going to Baraboo, WI and not Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin (We learned that a Little Too Late.) Anyway, we got to Knuckleheads and I rode the coaster (#174) and left. My dad was looking at the indoor Go-Karts (That will come into play later on.)

We left Knuck's about 10 Minutes after we entered and drove about 15 Minutes to The Parthenon. Sadly, the Indoor theme park and the indoor Waterpark were not connected like earlier maps show. Well I went to the Parthenon first and rode Opa. I REALIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM AT THE THEME PARKS HERE, CAN THEY IMPROVE THEME PARK CAPACITY, PLEASE!!!! Anyway I rode Opa! (#175) and the Indoor Go Karts. My parents had found out that they had 2 Outdoor Full Sized Go Karts (A Coaster was opened earlier but was closed :cry: .) Anyway, I rode the "Herme's Turbo" and "Trojan Horse" Go Karts. Well it was only like 30 Degrees and I rode a Spring Coat (Cause I'm an Idiot). Anyway enough of the theme parks, Time for the Bay.

The park was 55,000sqft and seemed really small and tight in my opinion. I first rode the lazy river which was one of the worst I can remember. There were not water effects, no waterfalls, no rapids, no wave effects, NOTHING! Then I rode the Tube Slides (Anaconda and Boa) Body Slides (Cobra and Diamondback) several times and also went in the Whirlpool, Jacuzzi, Hispanola Bay, and the Water Walk. After spending awhile there and running out of things to ride and do, We Left.

We then ate at Ponderosa Buffet and It started snowing while we were eating. I'll let you guess how it was driving around 3-6 hours in Snow with Parents arguing with each other. Anyway we got home around 10:48pm and I watched the Rest of SNL (Alec Baldwin/ Jonas Brothers Rerun).

- Miner Mike @ Knucklehead's
- Opa! @ Mt. Olympus- Parthenon

It's a pity that Zeus was closed at Mt. Olympus. It was open when I went earlier during the week. As for Opa!, I thought that capacity was not an issue, as there was no line, but I felt uneasy going on a certain car.

The lazy river DOES have some effects last time I was there there was a part where water was dripping (falling) from a dark colored steel tube and I tried to steer away from it. I am not the biggest fan of going on a lazy river when there are too many people and the water isn't warm enough but Mt. Olympus' Indoor Water Park is not nearly as small as people make it out to be. They have so much stuff outdoors what's inside doesn't matter.
