MT. OLYMPUS THEME PARK Wisconsin Dells Formerly: Big Chief Carts & Coasters
Park News - (6/15/09) According to a reader a new thing they noticed upon their last visit this week to the park was that a new $5 parking fee has been put into effect. I’ve also been told that Hades got stuck this past Saturday at the top of the hill just coming out of the tunnel at the far turnaround. Even better one of our readers was on-hand to actually catch the event on video as it happens. Check out the video clip embedded below followed by a second clip showing the riders being evacuated from the train!!
(5/20/09) A reader who visited the park last weekend reports that new land clearing was taking place around the “north and northwest” side of the property. When they asked an employee about it they were told that the park was building a new back entrance to the park, and that the basic framing for a new entry area and ticket booth are already said to be on site. (3/7/09) It appears there was a bit of confusion regarding the retro-rides. According to the online version (page 33) of the Dells travel guide those rides are actually going to Riverview Park & Waterworld and not Mt. Olympus. The very next 2 pages are ads for Mt. Olympus, but they don’t mention any new attractions on the way for 2009. (3/4/09) A reader tells us that according to a Dells attraction guide, Mt. Olympus will be adding a bunch of classic and kiddie amusement park rides for the season: a Super Loop, Scrambler, Tilt-A-Whirl, Berry-Go-Round, Funnel Force, carousel, Fire Chief and Glass House.
2009 - The Almighty Hermes - Confirmed - (3/29/09) The Mt. Olympus website is promoting a new attraction for the park this season which seems to be a Skycoaster that they have named, The Almighty Hermes.
