This sign on Cyclops is there for a very good reason. Trust me.
You see in the back seat Cyclops has some of the most terrifying airtime of any coaster that I've been on. Greg and I rode for the first time in our standard position. You know the "look ma no hands" hands in the air position. Well after a couple of swift kicks skyward and this drop that sent us straining against our lap bar we never rode it that way again.
The force in the back seat is so strong it's one of those moments where your entire lives flash before your eyes as you feel like your body is going to be ejected from the train only to be dashed on the wood structure below. You're the closest to living when you're on the edge of dying. It was fantastic. Needless to say other than Hades, Cyclops is the other big reason to brave the abhorrent customer service and come to Mt. Olympus. I'm not sure exactly where it'll end up but I'm pretty sure that Cyclops is going to be in my top 10 when it comes time to rank my coasters this fall.
Here's one last parting shot of Hades as we headed out to the car. Opa was ok, Zeus and Pegasus were fun but Cyclops and Hades made the trip all worth while.
