What riders love
  • Never felt intensity like it on a wooden coaster.
  • This is a great, unique ride with some of the most intense moments on any wooden roller coaster out there, rivaling the second drop on The Beast into the tunnel.
  • Insane ride amazing intensity start to finish great airtime at the start the tunnels are crazy.
  • Great pops of airtime before the lift hill especially in or near the back of the train.
  • Definitely a BACK ROW ride. (you’ll get great airtime right out of the station).
  • The corkscrew inversion is the best part, and I really like the little airtimes before the lift hill.
  • The layout is super intense and filled with airtime. The tunnel sections in particular are insanity.
  • The drop is pretty amazing for a wood coaster, and it going underground (longest underground coaster in the world) is really cool.
  • It has so many unique design elements such as a crazy pitch black tunnel sequence of turns at breakneck speed, a corkscrew wooden track inversion, and so many other unique touches like even the starting drop out of the station before the lift hill.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park

That ejector hill before it goes back under the parking lot is one of the best airtime hills of any ride out there.

Jaxon Lawrence

The corkscrew inversion is the best part, and I really like the little airtimes before the lift hill.

Along 4 The Ride

The pre lift had great airtime and lats, so I was expecting the rest of the ride to be amazing.

Carter Eckhart

Olympus no doubt, and the tunnel is really fun with the surprise pop of ejector.

Roan Kyne

A couple of little airtime moments, nothing like insane ejecter times, but I remember getting some moments where you get popped up, after all it is a gravity group coaster.

Benjamin M.

Corkscrew is my favorite part just because its so different, and smooth There is a seatbelt connecting each end of both lapbars.

Coaster Critic

Definitely not the smoothest but it’s so fast and intense that it’s probably hard to make a wooden coaster smooth at these speeds and forces.

Glass Cannonn

The coaster’s layout and sheer scale demand respect and the inversion is traversed well, but the excessive aggression and poor tracking will leave many riders feeling battered and queasy.

Coaster101

This thing is nuts, literally start to finish...I honestly don’t even want to spoil it, it’s so good.

Alexander Sims

It has very intense tunnels, but it is almost unbearably rough.

Forester F.

Insane ride amazing intensity start to finish great airtime at the start the tunnels are crazy.

X2fan710

Has a similar intensity as the voyage in my opinion, but with a more unique layout.

Glass Cannonn

All in all, not as intense as I expected, but way more comfortable.

Birb from not Canada

Its fast, its unique, and it has one of my favorite pre-lifts as well as one of my favorite tunnels of all time.

Incredible Coasters

It has so many unique design elements such as a crazy pitch black tunnel sequence of turns at breakneck speed, a corkscrew wooden track inversion, and so many other unique touches like even the...

David

The only plus is that it goes really fast.

Lucas Tikkala-Cutler

The pre-lift segment, airtimes, relentless pacing and the inversion are great.

Coaster Nut

It’s a pretty short queue, with the majority being the super tall stairs leading to the station.

Amusementier

By the way, this also has tedious ride ops -- one train, needlessly slow loading/unloading, and they won’t run the train unless it’s full.

Coaster Nut

I just wish they’d have spent the money building transfer tracks so they could get more than one train per coaster!

This is the best ride at Mt. Olympus no doubt, and the tunnel is really fun with the surprise pop of ejector.

Roan Kyne, Captain Coaster review

I was violently thrown around and shook like crazy like that thing was a jackhammer.

Sophia Klein, Captain Coaster review

It has very intense tunnels, but it is almost unbearably rough.

Forester F., Captain Coaster review

This is currently, after lrod turning hybrid, my favorite wooden coaster I’ve ridden, even over the topper track RMCs I’ve ridden.

Inverted Thrills, Captain Coaster review

I was blown away by the whole package that included the action-packed pre-lift hill sequence, a great first drop, and the pitch black insanity of the World’s longest tunnel.

Coaster Critic, published review

Christ in heaven this absolute nightmare better die in hell.
