What riders love
  • I just wish it was slightly more smooth but overall that airtime just makes it so much fun.
  • The airtimes were good, and it was definitely enjoyable overall.
  • Plus the lap bars on this feel like they barely lock for some reason.
  • There isn't roughness and the lap bar lets the ride have great airtime.
  • It absolutely flies through it's layout, providing excellent flojector airtime.

Performance

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

You can get basically as much room as you want so I was flying out of the train the whole ride.

Carter Eckhart

It absolutely flies through it’s layout, providing excellent flojector airtime.

I just wish it was slightly more smooth but overall that airtime just makes it so much fun.

David

Christopher S.

Personally didn’t experience the airtime other reviews mention and so I feel like this coaster is overrated based on my experience.

Glass Cannonn

This is a lot of fun, and it’s the smoothest coaster in the park.

Coaster Nut

I remember going on this one I hurt myself but it was fun I wanna go back especially on the water slides I had fun staying at the hotel also

@katherineocampo9152

this rollercoaster was my first pretty intense rollercoaster

The pacing on this ride is absolutely bonkers too it feels like a million mph drop to brakes no dead spots.

Carter Eckhart

No video can ever show how jerky the ride is, or how fast it goes.

@kaitlynkouba5508

Definitely hauls and has some solid air time to boot.

Zeus might be the best coaster at the park for just providing a reasonable level of excitement and airtime.

Glass Cannonn, Captain Coaster review

I’m a massive CCI fan but I did not expect this to become my #1 woodie and top 10 coaster overall.
