My first visit was as a kid to the Treasure Island indoor waterpark, before Mt Olympus owned it. It was awesome on its own. Later, when it was a "megapark" I got to go back. I don't think you can talk about this park without talking about the waterparks. Based on your video, I'm not sure you even saw the entire waterpark. It wraps around past the picnic area. They have mini golf, bumper boats and some great bodyslides. It's huge.

I will say that I did go to the outdoor water park in Wisconsin Dells back when it was its own park (Family Land). I suspect a good deal of the park's janky layout has to do with the fact that it was a merger of three parks, with two of them separated from the third by a motel which was removed.

A lot of the things CZ (Hi! Big fan!) brought up as other attractions are gone. Where the mini golf was is a “at your risk” lazy River now, which is actually pretty cool because it has artificial current so kids are never in there. I’m a Dells native and worked for both the hotels and the park. I have serviced all the coasters, we were on our game when anything happened with a coaster.

As someone who lives in Wisconsin and goes here all the time- you always have to ride the coaters in ascending order of intensity! Pegasus, Cyclopes, Zeus, then Hades!! When you went out of order I was like noooo. Also fun fact all those hotels used to be independent hotels with their own little themes and they bought them all up and rethemed them a couple years ago. Probably bc pretty much all of the other water parks in town have/are part of hotels

The Dells of the Wisconsin River are beautiful, but hooo boy is Wisconsin Dells the city a tourist trap. A fun one though, at least.

for Cyclops, you missed out on the ACTUAL back seat. When it used to have the extra car, the airtime was so extreme there actually was a rule requiring you be 18+ to brave it, and YES. Cyclops ACTUAL backseat is one of my favorite wooden coasters to this day for how legendAIRy the ejector was....

I laughed so hard when you showed the Pegasus clip of people getting thrown around violently. The coasters definitely beat you up. The go karts are the best. Whenever we're waiting in line we take bets on which little kid is going to not remember how to use the brake and blast someone from behind coming into the pit when the laps are done.

I used to go there every year, had a blast every time. Recently we've been going to indiana beach and cedar point, rotating. I think it would be nice to go to wisconsin again next year.

i went recently myself and i found that everything surprised me pleasantly with the exception of Pegasus which has the most violent brake run in the world lmao, zeus surprised me because i was out of the loop on what people said about it and to me the stats didnt impress me. last of all cyclops is a bit special to me because i got to ride 3 times without getting off so that was awesome. overall a park with some coasters ranging from solid to legendary.

1:27 that fence is like three feet tall. Little timmy could jump right over that.

Pegasus back row is hilarious! It's a must try. I've never laughed harder on a brake run.

Hey man I honestly just want to say thank you. Idk if you ever expected to get a comment of this nature considering the type of content you create, or already have, (not to my knowledge) but your videos have brought me much joy and have trudged me through a really rough patch in my life during this pandemic. I have nightmares of your intro from how often I watch your videos lol. I hope once everything truly settles down that we are able to cross paths and get to enjoy some great airtime thrills togther. Stay safe bro, take care and thank you again.

That's a great review! I totally agree with your ranking!

I spent a few days here this weekend, and it was wonderful! I got 10 total rides on hades, six of them being back to back. Gotta take advantage of being a teenage adrenaline junkie while my bones can still handle it, lol!

I love your videos so much! You have such an easy voice to listen to.

I love your content Airtime, I recently got into your stuff about a month ago and love all your videos. I've been kind of living vicariously through you since I'm a big wimp when it comes to coasters, with my only credit being one of the kiddy coasters at Darien Lake. Keep up the great work!

I'm glad you had a good time there. When I went two years ago, I found the ops painfully slow, the park was kinda dirty and poorly kept, and the whole thing just gave me a sketchy feel. I also thought Zeus was really rough, but they've retracked it since then, and it's clearly a big improvement. Then again, I didn't have to pay for it, so I can't really complain. There's a conference in the Dells most years in August, and if I go to that again, I'll probably try to swing by in the evening for a couple of hours.

This is exactly the opposite of coaster studios' review.

my comments as someone who this is technically their home park: I would say that the assigned seating thing is covid related, I don't remember having any issues last time i went. the dells are a big trap you are right, although IMO Noah's ark falls in the bottom half of attractions in the dells. I would say your rankings are exactly on point, this is how I would rank them. I see you mentioned the water park, it is ok but it always falls flat for me since there are tons of water parks in the dells. I think that they only own 1 train for most of their rides. I totally agree that they need new rides, However, I think they just have a them of wood rides and want to stick to them. also they can never get anything to big since they are all but drowned out by SFGA to the south and Valley fair to the NE. overall it is a nice place and It is a good break from all the water rides in town.

That wave pool reminds me of going to Water World as a kid. The wave pool there used to have a single 10 foot wave every 10 minutes. One time when I was 8 or so I decided to swim all the way to the deep end and wait for the wave. I wasn't a great swimmer and I was surrounded by people in inner tubes; So when the wave came I was pushed under an endless expanse of inner tubes. I had to push my way through them and it was terrifying. They changed the wave engine to make lots of 5 foot waves instead when they replaced it but I miss those big waves. The admission is cheap with a coupon and it's fairly unique so it's worth visiting if you're ever in Colorado during the Summer.

I went to Mt. Olympus in 2018 and we stayed on sight at the Odyssey Dells resort which was like your own condos with a kitchen area and bedroom. We entered the park through the Indoor Waterpark which was great in its own right. Mt. Olympus actually has three waterpark offerings: the main park you covered, the indoor waterpark I mentioned, and a third waterpark by the indoor amusement park reserved for resort guests only. We stayed for three days and had a lot of fun there. Also Hades 360 was a favorite with me and my siblings, as well!

There also used to be another car on Cyclops but they removed it because the airtime was too violent. That was probably where the sustained ejector was.

Hades was especially brutal for me this year

You had a TOTALLY different experience. And I only went a few days before you. They never sanitized anything besides Hades every few cycles, absolute walk ons and rerides without moving (sometimes so much beyond our will). Though it is jenky, I love that park so much. Hades, Zeus, and Cyclops are some of my favorites I've ever been on. Cyclops back row is rediculous. That was so rough but fun. Almost felt like a rodeo the way I was constantly being ejected. And I'm a 195lb man! Zeus was pretty good too! Although that double down is a gut buster. Hades is freaking incredible. I wish I had more time to do the waterpark and get more shots as well.

Looks amazing!

I was so close to visiting this park earlier in the year, but a 10hr drive where I pass a closed Six Flags Great America sounded counterproductive. I still want to visit this park for Hades. Who knows, maybe I'll get crazy and just drive up there last minute! 😁

Olympus videos make me want to visit again! But I wish Wisconsin were taking covid more seriously. I did get a bit of the “odd” vibe that some of the other videos have mentioned. For example, there was a sign on Cyclops that said you had to be 18 to ride the back row! That might explain why we haven’t been back in so many years, even though we live only 4 hours away. Hades was awesome, though, and looks even more awesome with the inverted loop. I hope to make it back someday.

This is the local park for me and before they built the one junior coaster Pegasus was basically the family coaster. It was my first roller coaster ever back in 98 and it was rough even back then lol.

I live 90 minutes south of Mt. Olympus. Not a park I visit too often, but it is a place I've always enjoyed. The waterpark is quite good, and goes back forever. The mat slides all the way in the back are stunningly fun. Go karts are decent as well. Really a good park. Just don't go there that often as Great America is closer.

I think your positive experience has to do with the park just having been closed for months and cleaned during that time. A few years back my brother got a staph infection that doctors think likely came from there and almost killed him. The last time I was at their indoor water park the bathroom was covered in poop and was not cleaned up in the 40min we were in the pool dispite us telling the life guards, the bar restaurants floor was crunchy to walk on because there was so much food on the floor and the room bathroom was covered with hair and mold. We had a two night reservation and after one night went to the desk and asked to early check out where they shrugged, acted like this happens very often and returned our money to us without even asking why we didn’t want to stay a second night. I live in WI and most locals know to stay far away from this place.

In the future, whenever I’m annoyed by the ride ops being a bit slow at SF Great America, I’ll always tell myself: “It could be worse; you could be Mt Olympus where every ride has one train, turning 20 min waits into 45+ min.”

Idk if they changed it, but they may have taken the last car off of Cyclops. I remember they were blocking it to 18+ at one point, and feel they stated blocking it then removed the back car. But it's been almost a decade since I've been so my memory may be spotty.

5:43 Wow! I've never seen such a blatantly violent moment on a coaster. That looks super painful and headache inducing🤢

I just went today and went on all the roller coasters except Zeus I’m not obsessed with roller coasters but they were still fun you should go back and rate the slide wheel i feel that they may not be expanding the theme park but they are really adding to the water park

I feel like adding a new coaster can be a good idea but not at the same time, if you are like me and have been going your whole childhood you would know that they are known to have their wooden coasters. And it's basically a park made with so many memories

I have been to both parks recently because my home park SFGAm was closed Mount Olympus is interesting! but the coasters are fun.

Pegasus is actually the first wooden coaster i been on.i love it

I really like this park but I feel like they could definitely do a few things to make it more on the Scale of a park like Holiday World or Kentucky Kingdom. They should get a steel thrill coaster, i think a euro fighter would be the most likely option. Also maybe another stand out flat ride especially because their screaming swing is an upcharge also if they did an event for enthusiasts like Holliwood Nignts or Keys to the Kingdom i think it would get a lot more people to the park.

I’ve been and it was super fun

This park is in the top six wooden coaster destinations of the world. In no particular order: 1: Holiday World; 2: Mount Olympus; 3: Six Flags Great America; 4: King's Island; 5: Dollywood; 6: Six Flags Great Adventure.

Despite its size, I have wanted to go there since the 1990’s. It is not as high on my list like it was when I was a teenager, but I would rank it Number # 11 on my bucket list parks, and Wisconsin Dells Number # 8 on destinations I want to visit 😀

The last time I was here was when Zeus just opened. There wasn't a water park yet...no hotels...I heard the owner bought all the surrounding hotels. So if that's true, they probably had different looks and names. You went to noahs ark for the water park and mount Olympus for the coasters and go karts

I worked here for a very long time. It’s a fun park.

I’m really lucky that my aunt and uncle live less than an hour from the dells. But for some reason I’ve only been zip lining in the dells.
