Hades Roller Coaster at Mount Olympus Theme & Water Park, Wisconsin Dells, Winter 2008

Since Hades is the "Lord of the Underworld" in Greek Mythology once could sat that the day that I visited was a "cold day in hell".

Crossing under Hades first drop sits Zeus.

Zeus is an "out and back" styled coaster that should be amazing but I have yet to have a ride on it that was anything other than painful.  If it were smooth I could see it being top ten material with all of the airtime it delivers but sadly it is not.

Long time Negative-G readers have heard me say that coasters really are a work of art and need to be appreciated as such.

Even without trains full of screaming riders speeding over Hades course once can stand back and enjoy it as a piece of art.
