For a decade Holiday World's Raven was my #1 coaster then last year The Voyage knocked it down a peg well guess what it's been knocked down again with Hades being my new #2 wooden coaster.



Our next stop was next door for a ride on Hades brother, Zeus.  It's a little hard to see in this photo but the Zeus' trains were all covered with grease and totally beaten to hell.  Maybe I'm spoiled by parks who take super care of their coasters but this kind of was a red flag for me.



Like Hades Zeus does not just send you immediately to the lift when leaving the station as it takes you on a nice dip down the hillside before hitting the lift.



Zeus was added to then Big Chief's back in 1997 and was built by Custom Coasters International.



As you can see with all of the empty seats that Mt. Olympus wasn't packed on Memorial Day.  It's actually a perfect day to hit the Dells as everyone who headed there for the holiday weekend are packing up and heading home instead of hitting the parks.
