R.I.P. Deja Vu 10/07/01-10/28/07

I rode Hades once in the morning and once at night. Hades is an awesome ride. It's the best wooden coaster I've been on. Hades is also the best coaster I've been on at night. The tunnel underneath the parking lot at night is the coolest thing ever. Hades is a little rough but that's expected from a wooden coaster.

Hades is awesome. Especially the cool blast of air through the tunnel. I didn't much care for the park, though....it felt dirty.....

New coaster program...sounds fun. Gotta set the DVR weeee!

I agree Hades was a great coaster. I rode it like three times and it was great. The tunnle has a great feeling.

^I've never been on it, but I have been on Millennium Force and didn't find it nearly as fun as Raging Bull. Nevertheless, thank you so much for the announcement, i'm marking my calender right now...

^ Ummm...MAYBE because you can sit 4 across on Bull....but other than that nothing compares the Bull to Force.

Hades is the reason I am going to ride Voyage on opening day this year. That is some of THE best wood coaster designing in the world so far.

I don't get the travel channel. :cry:

I hate MF. Sure it has air time hills, but you go so fast you barely feel it.

DANG IT! I don't have the Travel Channel (It's for Digital Cable Subscribers only

)

by **FRD714** on March 17th, 2006, 9:25 pm

^No its not. Its on cable. Should be channel 64.

by **[jonrev]** on March 17th, 2006, 11:30 pm

Chicago and Rosemont may have different channel lineups.

by **FRD714** on March 17th, 2006, 11:36 pm

^Probably, but Travel Channel isnt digital cable.

by **twixmix0303** on March 18th, 2006, 12:38 am

It certainly can be, depending on where you live. I'm in the Libertyville channel lineup, and we just got the History Channel and about 10 others a few years ago that have been in Grayslake for a long time.

by **FRD714** on March 18th, 2006, 12:43 am

^Huh, didnt know that.

by **Director_Guy** on March 18th, 2006, 2:12 am

Now you know.....and knowing is half the battle.

by **kahmooza** on March 18th, 2006, 5:42 pm

I just saw that Megastructures:Ultimate Rollercoaster is going to be on the NatGeo channel on Tuesday at 6pm cst.

This show is a very detailed documentary on KingdaKa at SFGadv.

Catch it if you haven't seen it. Its worth it.

by **FRD714** on March 18th, 2006, 6:00 pm

^Thanks. I need to re-tape it becuase there was a problem when I did it before.

by **Danhockey04** on March 18th, 2006, 11:35 pm

About Hades, it is a very fun ride that has its moments, but it is not the greatest wooden coaster. If you visit the Dells, drive down the street a little further and you will find the best coaster in the Dells there, at Timber Falls. Avalanche is by far the superior of the two offering amazing air time hills and crazy turns, try it once and you'll realize that Avalanche is a better ride. However, Hades is a very good ride but it could have been better.

i personally liked Hades, i think it's one of the best wooden coasters i've been in. I love that drop, especially early in the morning, which is when i rode it, and it was just awesome. I'd love to get up to the dells to ride it again. I haven't gotten on Millennium Force though, I've never been to Cedar Point. I might go out there this summer, not sure though. I'll have to tune into this show if i don't have anything else to do.

by **FRD714** on March 20th, 2006, 7:42 pm
