I think Hades is the most PAINFUL roller coaster EVER. My friend had broken ribs and I had a super bruised shoulder. I thought that my head was going to fall off. NOT FUN would rate it 0.5 out of 10 due to painfulness of the ride.

I haven't been on this but I have been on Voyage and Ravine Flyer (also from Gravity Group). Both were amazing. I've not come across any recent reviews of Mt. Olympus that suggests they take care of their rides or have a well run park. Voyage had retracking this year and Ravine Flyer was in great shape when I rode it in 2011. If I read a trip report that suggests Mt. Olympus is fixing their deteriorating rides I'd consider a trip there to ride Hades and the rest. Wisconsin Dells is the only Amtrak stations in the country I know of that is a modest walk from coasters (you can see them from the train as you go by).

3 years later I still have neck problems that cause headaches, dizziness and pain throughout my neck and shoulders. I never had problems until that day. I have also had some issues coordinating my hands that I never had until after the day I rode hades. I believe I have some brain damage from this. On the ride I could feel my brain bashing against my skull and for a moment everything went black. This is some scary stuff. Prior to this my family were coaster enthusiasts. This experience has made us never want to risk it again. We have ridden dozens of coasters, taller coasters, faster coasters, scarier coasters. Nothing is as scary as the thought of being permanently disabled!

Zeus not being hard on you, are you sure that you're talking about the same ride that when I rode the first time last year that after getting off my side hurt SO badly that I thought I had broken a rib?
For me, Cyclops and Pegasus are the ONLY two enjoyable coasters in the park, Cyclops being my new number one ride of all time after giving me one hell of a last ride that was filled with Ejector air, and Hades, I'm too scared to ride because I fear how bad it'll be on me and not because of it's height or speed,

I rode it now just recently. Hades might be one of the craziest rides ive ever been on. Its so fast its unreal and so insane I kinda even wanted it to be over. There were deffinatley some rough parts, but the ride no doubt gave an incredible rush. I would say that it is insanely thrilling, but don't expect to have a hands in the air fun ride. This is one ride you can't help but hold on.

So I was on a road trip earlier this month; we were leaving Mall of America and planing to head to Adventureland in Iowa, and then to Holiday World. To our surprise, (and great relief) we checked online, and discovered that both parks would be closed on the week that we'd be arriving there! So we re-routed our trip to the east a bit to stop here and at Six Flags Great America. I had been looking forward to riding the Voyage, only for it to be closed, so, in a desperate effort to hit at least one gravity group coaster, I suggested we hit Mt.Olympus to make up for Holiday World.

I highly doubt the Voyage could be as epic as Hades was. It had to be the best Wooden Coaster I've ever been on. Sure, it was jerky, but aren't all wooden coaster supposed to be at least a bit? The tunnel is the crowing achievement of this amazing ride. Once you get down there in the darkness, it's survival of the fittest. Hold on for dear life. If your anywhere near the Dells and don't stop to try this top-notch attraction, your missing out big time! It's defiantly the smoothest of the 4 wooden coasters there. My new favorite Wooden Coaster!

I have been on every roller coaster in Mt. Olympus and Hades is the best! I've been on it 6 or 7 times and the drop looks smaller and smaller every time, so I'm hoping to go to Valley fair and ride the Wild Thing and Steel Venom.

I totally agree with this. My neck and spine are killing me right now! Rode the ride for the 1st time today, and it will be my last! I know wood rides are rougher than the steel rides, but man, this one takes the cake! I didn't enjoy this ride AT, ALL!!! Do not ride this ride. It hurts!!!! Off to the Chiropractor I go!!!
