If Mt. Olympus' coasters aren't
enough of a thrill you can always get strapped onto the end of a robotic
arm and get thrown around. Unfortunately the "Robocoaster"
was not up and running as I'd have liked to see it run even though I
wouldn't pay the extra to ride it.
This impressive facade fronts
Mt. Olympus' indoor theme park.
Yes you can ride coasters in
Wisconsin all year long, that is if you want to ride Opa (not Oprah)
which is your standard Zamperla spinning coaster.
Like the other spinning coasters
of this type that I have been on at Beech Bend, the Kentucky State Fair
and Kennywood your ride depends on how your weight is distributed.
I'm not big on spinning around and around so this coaster isn't high
on my lists.
In addition to Opa inside of
the indoor section of Mt. Olympus is another Zamperla ride, the Disk-O.
I have been wanting to try one of these as they are sprouting up all
over. The restraints are nice and the ride looks cool but all
of the good stuff ends there. I was pretty green when I got off
and looked so bad even the time share sales people who hit on everyone
in the building did not try to sell me.
