The Opa! Rollercoaster at Mount Olympus Water & Theme Park, Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

The final new coaster for Bond at Mount Olympus was their Opa! spinning coaster. Both of us have been on several of these spinners from Zamperla and they're fun and never give a bad ride.

Poseidon's Rage is the center of Mount Olympus' Neptune's Water Kingdom water park.

Poseidon's Rage is not a normal wave pool that produces constant waves. Instead it produces one massive wave every 5-10 minutes. This wave is a mammoth nine feet tall and even if you're in the shallow end it slams you back ten or twenty feet. Of course Bond and I loved having the wave bash us back and wipe us out.

We hit Poseidon's Rage the evening of our first night there. I always like to hit water parks in the evening in the summer because it's still hot out and there are hardly anyone there so you can enjoy it without the lines. We did get a bit wet the next day when we came back to snag a few photos.

I was surprised how much fun we had at Mount Olympus. Most of the ride operators actually worked to get people through the rides and there was customer service. The ride/park entry wristbands were very handy and we loved being able to check into and get our room key from within the park. It seems that the whole park is really working to give people a better time.

There are a few things that we'd like to suggest.

The first off is there really aren't fences around the rides giving anyone access to them. Here's Bond by Hades showing how someone could easily climb up it or get under it and into some potential trouble. There were a lot of kids cutting under Hades to cut short the long walk around to the queue. Just thinking back to the death at Six Flags Over Georgia when someone cut under their Batman coaster a few fences would be a lot cheaper than a lawsuit if someone got hurt running under one of Mount Olympus' coasters.

The other thing they really need is more than one train on Hades. The park is getting so popular and with the addition of all of the resort hotels it is going to grow so it's about time a second train and it's additional capacity is needed for the parks most popular ride.

Here's one last shot of Hades. Bond and I had a blast and I think we're going to have to take a trip up here every couple of years to get our go karts on and take another trip through the underworld.
