Hades Review

     Hades is 136 foot tall wooden Gravity Group roller coaster. It towers over Mt.Olympus Water & Theme Park boasting a 65 degree first drop, a ninety degree banked turn, and the worlds longest underground tunnel. It also bears the title of being the first roller coaster designed by the legendary Gravity Group.
     Your journey begins with the unusually large drop out of  the station. You do a couple of twists and turns and begin your journey up the monstrous lift hill. Its at this point when you see Mt. Olympus way beneath you that you start to wonder what you got your self into. As you start to crest the hill all you see is parking lot, but then you notice a gaping hole beneath you. Finally you crest the hill and speed into the realm of Hades. You better brace your self because the train is like a possessed demon that wants nothing more than you off its back. Finally as you feel you've been in the black tunnel long enough Hades shoots out up on the other side of the parking lot for a pause at the top of the turn around. then Hades races back into the tunnel and past the 90 degree bank through the realm of Hades at a bit slower pace. Once again you surface at the park where you fly over two hills. With a couple more turns you hit the brake run which stops the demon train in its tracks.
      Overall Hades is amazing and is my favorite wooden roller coaster. Unfortunately the staff a Mt. Olympus  can be a little unfriendly and the roller coasters aren't taken care of. My final rating is 10 due to its underground masterpiece and amazing thrills.
