Hades 360 Review Mt. Olympus Crazy Gravity Group Wooden Coaster

One of the most insane wooden roller coasters in America resides at Mt. Olympus Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells. Hades 360 plummets riders underneath the parking lot AND flips riders upside down through a corkscrew. Its a mean, aggressive ride that isn't for the faint of heart!

It is amazing the work and effort Gravity Group puts in there coasters. I think they deserve lots of credit for this one. The layout could not be better, they just packed in so much in almost 5,000 ft of track. You never know what they could do next.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

And to think that this was their first roller coaster, for The Gravity Group to build an insane ride like this as a startup~ I mean this park took a chance on The Gravity Group, and I think it was a total success.

Take my advice and dont bother with the place. It's not worth it.

[@obi-wankenobi2630]

Mt. Olympus isn’t that good, but Hades and Zeus are awesome. I’d say go there for a day and ride those rides, then just head back, the rest of the park isn’t worth it

[@findRED]

Advice from someone who has been to Mt Olympus several times in family vacations, go for the wooden roller coasters and go cart tracks. Nothing else is really that great. Unfortunately now you have to book a stay to get a park pass, but if you plan it while you're already staying in WI Dells, it can be a good day.

I was there on 6/18/2020(two days ago) & the only seatbelt on HADES 360 that saw was the one attached to the restraint as a secondary back-up just in case the main restraint pops open.....much like Banshee or Vortex at Kings Island

[@Mitch-rd9gs]

The original Hades was my first roller coaster EVER. Then they added the corkscrew a few years later and I loved it. I never realized how rare and unique the underground element was for a wooden roller coaster until now. It’s really sad because the park is declining in popularity and I’m sure they’ll be heading for closure eventually. Seeing the main drop as I drive closer and closer to the park is and will always remain iconic to me. Thanks for the awesome review!

[@Andrew_Arsenault]

Rode this about 2 years ago and it was awesome. This was the tallest coaster I've rode at the time, and it was my first time going upside-down, but I frickin loved it.

Good video! Glad you liked this coaster, it's such a unique ride. I live about 45 minutes from the Dells and have ridden this coaster many times over the years, including the pre-360 version, and yeah, it definitely got better after they put in the inversion and reprofiled it a bit, although I still really liked it beforehand. I haven't gotten up there yet this year, I'm hoping to get up there in the next couple of weeks.

[@elofkjellson3906]

I have to be honest, when I first saw the POV for this thing, I was in awe of that awesome lit tunnel with two track segments going through it. I would love to experience that on a coaster! Whizzing past the wall and lights at a high speed, then emerging out back into the light haha, looks awesome!

This is my favorite coaster I haven't ridden. Just going off my pov tours on KZbin this is the one I'm most excited to ride.

[@Sephiewoth]

I would be very careful cause it is very rickety due to it being a wooden rollercoaster, but it was pretty fun if you like rollercoasters. I don't, so I didn't really enjoy it. Another warning but the seats are plastic as well and the ride moves a lot so you could hurt after this ride. It's a LOT faster than the video makes it seem.

[@eriklakeland3857]

Great review as always, Coaster Studios. Love the pre lift section and impressive tunnel. It bums me out that those trains never replaced the PTCs on The Voyage at my beloved Holiday World despite extensive testing. The literal handchopper freaked me out. I have a bit of a wingspan so thanks for the warning on that one.

[@MillenniumForceMan]

Someone else finally realizes hades has an outer bank lol

[@chasefarrell2687]

There’s a 90° degree overbanked turn inside hades 360’s underground tunnel

[@peternguyen1963]

I rode this roller coaster yesterday and I'm glad I did. If you're visiting Mt. Olympus or Wisconsin Dells, definitely ride this coaster at least once. I had the privilege of sitting front row and the view/experience was just awesome. The ride going under the parking lot felt really nice and cold. The only downside was I wished Mt. Olympus had 2 or 3 cars just like Valleyfair or any other amusement park just so the line could move a bit quicker. Also, since we're in the world of COVID at the moment, social distancing in line wasn't in sight due to how many people want to go on the coaster. And as much as I love renegade at VF, I'd say this coaster is my favorite wooden coaster so far!! I hope I'll come back here in the future!!

[@vquikxzy3919]

Amazing coaster!!!! Rode it 8 times last year, the inversion is crazy, since it is a wooden coaster it will have that bit of roughness to it but other than that top 3 coaster for me

[@PersonLabeledN0AH]

Thank you Taylor! 👍👏

[@ritzy4593]

Basically my home park. Live an hour away. FIRE wooden roller coaster. One of the best

[@cineful]

My fav wooden coaster (after American eagle) even before the inversion addition. I hope to go back to ride it now. Awesome video

[@fishingbrotherben4461]

Great review! Absolutely correct about getting headaches riding repeatedly (though my experiences were pre-2018). I had the opportunity to ride this before and after the major alterations, and the “Hades is aggressive today” sign has been a staple of the queue even before the inversion. Always thought that was funny

[@chasefarrell2687]

But the red timberliner train will go fast through the inversion and the overbank turn with the sharp hand railings on their catwalk

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I rode it last year, and I agree with your thoughts on it. I said a lot of the same things in my review of it. I also gave it a 9.5. I'm a huge fan of this thing. I have it as my 4th favorite woodie, behind Lightning Rod, Outlaw Run, and El Toro (haven't been on Voyage yet).

[@extremethrills5524]

Nice review I hope gravity group would make more wooden coasters that has inversions

[@vizualedit0r481]

7:58 I think those are meant to be greek columns considering Hades is a god from greek mythology.

[@findRED]

I had the pleasure of riding this before and after the 360 inversion. Prior to the inversion it was a "general intense" roller coaster, something to be thrilled by, but not necessarily anything too significant about it. After the inversion it was wild. The last time I took a ride with the inversion was prior to the track work and re-cresting. It was roughest in the tunnel, with those transitions being not quite as smooth (but that may also be the pitch black and lack of awareness to where exactly we were going.) It generally felt overall rougher, like "precisely cut wood without the final sanding," type of rougher, but most of the wooden roller coasters there feel that way. Unfortunately I did not ride it this past summer when I was in Mount Olympus, as my wife and I were already wore out that day. As far as the other roller coasters felt this summer, they all seem to have gotten a bit better (less rough than I remembered). The standout being Zeus. This summer I rode it once, and it was smooth and had all the great hallmarks a general wooden roller coaster should. That's my favorite in the park, not too intense, but with plenty of exciting corners and air time. I could ride Zeus all day.

[@Stubwood_on_YT]

[@brutushughes1374]

Got to ride this twice back when it reopened with the loop in the parking lot. Let's just say it is crazy with the roughest, most painful transitions. At the time we rode this coaster there was a horrible bump at the bottom of the large hill at the beginning. Extremely violent which hurt every inch of your body. I cannot imagine why there has not been injuries or accidents on this coaster.

[@justinlininger8123]

8:01 “Roman columns” *me knowing what mythology hades is*

[@VestedUTuber]

"Roman Columns" Greek, not Roman. Roman columns are a lot more flamboyant and use a different material.

[@Northicex]

If it was Roman then the rides Hades and Zeus would be named Pluto and Jupiter. The architectural style is generally termed Greco-Roman as (like most other things) the Romans shamelessly copied anything they liked. Not to sell the Romans short in this regard, they would typically do what they copied better than the original producer if nothing else more prolifically.

[@cupcake5000]

Yeah ok but see Taylor is a KZbinr. The word “KZbinr” basically translates to “who cares about school!!” And most people watching this are probably avoiding their homework anyway.... 🤩🥳😎🤓😂🤣🤣

I agree roughness can sometimes add to intensity, I have not ridden Hades 360 but I have ridden other wooden coasters with that same aspect. I honestly think if RMCS where not glossy smooth and had a little jank to them, they would be even more intense.

Has that 2nd double-down always been there, or was it added as part of that 2018 re-tracking? Because I rode this coaster back in 2016, and I don't remember that part being anything more than an airtime(less) hill.

[@drewfisher4413]

You gave this a good score, but it is personally in my top ten

[@owenreich8555]

Gosh if they could rmc this ride it would be GOLDEN

[@CivilianSatellite]

The high brake runs and stations are probably so the train doesn't hit the brakes too fast. The park likely wanted to pay for a coaster that goes that high and that fast, but didn't want to pay for enough track length to burn off all that speed. So you put the brakes up higher so the train doesn't hit them at a million miles an hour.

[@ducksfan_1149]

wouldn’t a trim be much cheaper tho?

[@larrybav]

Maybe the long climb to reach the station platform is a hidden physical fitness test to be sure that the riders are up to the task of riding that beast. (No, wait, The Beast is a different coaster at Kings Island.)

[@drwisis6996]
