Mt. Olympus Theme & Water Park Review Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin

Mt. Olympus is a water and theme park located in the heart of Wisconsin, and has acquired quite the reputation. I found myself asking "how bad could it be?" Let me tell you...this place is something else. This is my full in depth review based off of the time I spent on property!

[@hieloluna]

There should be a queue line for it with riders standing on the slab for two minutes before exiting and on coming riders step onto the slab for their ride. Also the ride ops will make sure your items are secure and that you won’t fall off the slab before giving the thumbs up.

This video is honestly healing for me. I grew up in Southern WI, but my family was too poor to do summer weekends in the Dells and I always thought I was missing out on so much! Now I'm an adult and I've visited a lot of great parks, but it's still gratifying to learn Mt Olympus doesn't live up to the Elementary school hype like MATT always said it did. You're never too old to feel a little petty over your elementary school bullies

[@aspiceronni4462]

I feel the same way. Kids would come back from summer vacation with coaster shirts and Dells shirts and I always wondered what it looked like there.

[@Hackerb0b]

One of the kids who was on the slingshot in that infamous video was from my school/grade the time. It was a huge deal at the time for our school as he was a pretty popular kid, and we were all from a very small town of 2000 people. It was crazy how close he was to being killed.

[@colinvgm9080]

The park really doesn't flow well and it has a strange layout. I grew up going to the Dells and Mount Olympus used to never be a thing and it's a mish mash of several separate parks all next to each other that were scooped up by Mount Olympus owners. I believe it was Big Chief Go-Kart 2 which had the coasters, Crazy Ludwig's Go-Karts, and Family Land Waterpark.

@@CommanderRealwar ok

[@Nightowl333]

I grew up in Wisconsin and this brings back so much nostalgia. Went to the Dells every summer growing up. The vibe and layout of this park is really “Wisconsin Dells”, I don’t know how to explain what that means. It’s just old school, and this park used to be a place where you just walked in and paid per ride. Maybe 15 years ago or so they tried to make it an actual all included “theme park” and combined surrounding attractions. That’s why the layout is so random and feels odd. It’s such an old school touristy road side stop. But I love it.

[@DDog52]

I agree. If you don’t think this place is epic, you don’t “get” Wisconsin Dells and you probably should’ve never went to begin with.

Very true as another Wisconsinite

[@julioalvarenga8608]

@@DDog52 The waterparks are epic what about noahs ark?

[@kimbuettner8614]

Mt. Olympus has pretty much ruined Wisconsin Dells. They've monopolized the entire town by buying all the small hotels and painting them their signature blue. It all started when they bought Family Land, which was a nice little water park that I enjoyed as a kid. That is why there is no flow in the park because its very pieced together. Poorly, for that matter. Was fun to see a video from a local place though!

[@erikaj4112]

We used to go to the Dells all the time when the in-laws lived there. Then they moved and we hadn't been there in so long. We decided to make a weekend of it and relive the memories. That's when we drove thru town and saw everything bought up by the same company and painted blue. Felt like driving thru barracks with some entertainment squeezed in between. It was so disappointing.

[@deelopez021]

They also bought Playday Motel which is where the water slides are at.

[@michaelriggs6037]

As a local I totally agree. Mt Olympus wrecked the look and feel of the Dells, which says a lot considering the town is a tourist trap. In the Dells there used to be Family Land like you said. That is what is the "water park" today. The coaster and go cart section used to be Big Chief. Funny how when they were seperate parks with different owners they were both pretty awesome. As a townie we used to use local passes and go multiple times a season. If you go to the Dells spend your money on Noah's Ark.

[@sarahglisson654]

Agreed

[@devansiehr9293]

Well the big reason people go there for is water parks, stop complaining

[@AirtimeThrills]

The craziest thing I saw was a mechanic on Hades jumping over the fence in the station to get to the platform below. Pretty sure that woulda been a good 40 foot fall had he slipped

[@lordmanshaft1112]

Wisconsin amusement safety laws are so dickless that the park doesnt have much short term financial incentive to actually take it seriously (which was obvious from my only visit). Seems like that attitude is poisoning their view of workplace safety as well.

[@blacklisted351]

That is in every single video I've seen of it

[@Danrarbc]

@@lordmanshaft1112 Correct. My question is would this place even stay open if Wisconsin passed real amusement safety rules? There's so much they'd have to do that they don't right now. I went on opening day this year and every coaster had at least one row closed because something was broken. The exact same maintenance guy in this video hopped onto the track in the Hades station after sending a train - knowing how fast the train would enter when it returned - to work on the restraint contact points for one of the closed rows (the springs on two pins were shot - I could see them after he hopped out, he failed to coax the pins out of their hole). He also was tightening one of the restraint hinges with an allen wrench while guests waited to board.

[@lordmanshaft1112]

@@Danrarbc Your anecdote is...unsettling...to say the least. I have to imagine the only way the park could operate under strict government regulation is through management by a firm that has proven themselves able to run amusement parks in those circumstances: Cedar fair, Six flags, or herschend.

Multiple rides have had accidents that resulted in death or bad injury. I used to come here as a kid and alot of the rides I used to love have been removed due to rider deaths or severe injury. Offhand I think 2 people died due to the parks shoddy maintenance. (On opa mini coaster and the go cart track) and there's been other deaths too and lots of injuries. Honestly if you look at the list of injuries for this park it's really bad for parks it's size.

[@briq9507]

For sure, other than the bigger resorts, the whole place is one massive tourist trap. I drove through it once and the stuff you can see would shock you.

[@JackDecker63]

I have been to this place countless times over my 56 years. Let me give you my take on this park. 1) It is TACKY. Tacky, tacky, tacky. But WAIT! That's a good thing. This park ... in fact the entire tourist trap town of Wisconsin Dells ... is tacky. Think low-brow entertainment. Blue collar. Brown (farmer) collar! It makes NO apologies for this at all and SHOULDN'T. If you're a snob, you will hate this park and the rest of Wisconsin Dells. It is dirt beneath your feet. BUT if you're not a snob and can enjoy fun for just fun's sake and if you can laugh at tacky oddball stuff, this park and town is for you. And this is what I warn all my friends that I take there. Once you accept this, you can start to enjoy it. In fact, once you accept this, you will enjoy it even more. 2) There was NO grand plan for this park or the rest of Wisconsin Dells. Want to experience how amusement parks once were. This is it. And note I said AMUSEMENT parks. Not theme parks. Theme parks was a Walt Disney creation. Wisconsin Dells outdates Disneyland by decades. Longer even. MUCH longer. The original attraction was literally the Dells. The rock formations along the Wisconsin River that people used to be paddled around to see. And thus where the town got its name. Oh, and note I used the word PADDLED. They started doing this sight-seeing before there were motorized boat engines. Yeah, this place is old. Walk down the main street and you'll see NO theming whatsoever. The next attraction can be anything under the sun and usually is. Welcome to a time before Disney. 3) Mount Olympus grew by simply buying the attractions next to it. That is why there isn't even consistent theming within. In fact, during the last recession (2008), they went on a buying spree and bought every single motel along the strip they could get their hands onto and they got their hands onto a TON of motels. They ALL were once independently operated motels. Now they're all painted white and blue so you know they're part of the Olympus complex. Oh, and if you stay in them, you get FREE admittance into the park. Now think about that for a minute. Do the math. Take a WILD guess where the real money is in Olympus. Yup, the motel rooms. While the park was originally the money-maker for Olympus, now it is the motel rooms. Motels that everyone wants to stay at since if you do, you can literally just walk to the park without using your car. Trust me. During peak tourist season, you do NOT want to use your car in the Dells. Think LA traffic is bad? Come to the Dells during peak tourist season and try to get across town. 4) And that is why selling wristbands and then checking for them isn't that big of a deal to Olympus! I mean they only cost you $10 a day to start with. Heck, you can go to practically ANYWHERE in the town of Wisconsin Dells and get a free coupon to get into Mount Olympus! Why? Again, the gate isn't where they make the big money. Motels are that. In fact, the gate isn't where they make their second biggest money. That's the concessions stand and their restaurants. They know once you walk in, you're in for the day and you WILL get thirsty and hungry over the course of that day. And here's where the place is even more cool.... 5) They really don't care if you bring in your own food and drink in your bags. Honestly, they don't. You see they know you won't be bringing in a microwave oven, freezer, or a cotton candy machine in your bags. They have those. They know YOUR kids will ABSOLUTELY want all the junk food they sell and not whatever you brought in your bags .... that is steadily getting warmer and warmer with each passing minute. And once you're in, they've got you and your wallet. Try. Seriously try to not give into your kids begging for an ice cream cone. But let us be honest. You're going to be the first one standing up and saying, "Hey, anyone want something from concessions stand?" In fact, your kids will probably initially say, "Nah!" and run off into the pool. You'll then buy them something anyway because you know they'll be thirsty and/or hungry when they come back out to rest and/or.... 6) The roller coasters, go-carts, and other rides are simply there to give you and your family something to do while not in the pool. Something else to do. Something to do until you want to get back into the pool. Next time you go there during peak season, notice how many people waiting to do the roller coasters, go-carts, etc. are wearing swimming suits. That's not a fashion statement. They're just livening up their day by doing the rides UNTIL they get overheated by the sun and then back into the pool they will run. And I do mean RUN. You'll probably never hear such loud thunder of flip-flops smacking feet and pavement as swimmers running back down the hill to the pools as you will at Olympus. Oh, and that's why the rides and parking are up on the hill. They want you to stay and making it easy to return to the pool is one of the ways they do that. In fact, you'll commonly hear your fellow park guests groan about leaving as it means walking up the hill (or back to their motel rooms) so the parents commonly say, "Okay, but after a bit. Let me rest up first." The kids will race back into the pool before you change your mind ... which you won't but they cannot take the chance that you might. 7) Peak season is Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. All the rides and attractions are in full swing. The only ones closed are being hurriedly repaired to open as soon as possible. This is why the pool isn't heated. No one ... NO ONE wants the pool heated during this time. Everyone is going into the pool to cool off, not warm up. Even grandpa and grandma are wading up to their ankles in the pool to cool off. Summer in Wisconsin is HOT and HUMID. A cold pool is Heaven at this time. 8) Wisconsin Dells is a MASSIVE employer in Wisconsin during the summer. This is where most of the college students make and save up money for the school year. This is why ALL colleges and universities in Wisconsin ALWAYS end BEFORE Memorial Day weekend and don't start until AFTER Labor Day weekend. You need to understand that tourism is HUGE in Wisconsin. Everyone ... EVERYONE in Chicago goes to Wisconsin for their summer vacation. Why? We're north of them and thus OBVIOUSLY cooler. In fact, during the peak tourist season, there will be more Illinois license plates on cars and trucks in the Dells than Wisconsin plates. Interstate 90 goes directly from Chicago to Wisconsin Dells. The only thing I'm amazed by is why hasn't the Wisconsin legislature raised the speed limit on I90 to 75 mph or even 80 mph to cut down the drive time for Chicagoans to make it even quicker to get to it and thus even more likely they will come. 9) I could go on and on about Wisconsin Dells but I will end with what it is trying to become: INDOOR waterpark capital of the world. The Dells hired a marketing consultant on how to make the Dells even more popular and that is what he came up with. So during the off-peak season (after Labor Day weekend until before Memorial Day weekend), this is what Dells is trying to become and thus why Olympus has an indoor waterpark ... which commonly isn't open during the peak tourist season for this reason. Once Dells cools down during fall to spring, they are trying to be the weekend get-away for Chicagoans by having MASSIVE indoor waterparks for them to come to. This is something the Dells has been working on for well over couple decades and it is beginning to prosper. Hmmmm. Maybe I should start up a KZbin channel devoted to the Dells. :-) LOL!

If they don't care about theming, then why'd they even bother calling the place "Mount Olympus" and naming the rides after Greek gods and creatures, or that half-assed Greek facade building? And if it's not making them much money, why haven't they just shut it down to use for more hotel space?

I think it would be amazing if the owners of Holiday World bought this park and took it over. The two parks are very similar: huge water park and a small dry park with several wooden coasters. The main reason why Holiday World is ten times better is because it's owned and managed by people that actually care and aren't just in it for the money.

[@aoitamashii]

I feel you. Mt. Olympus was part of a wave of out-of-state investors that muscled their way into the area and tried to take over as it were. Not only did you have Mt. Olympus squeeze into a tiny lot next to Family Land trying to sell amusement park rides in a town known for waterparks, but I'm guessing one of the main reasons they bought out Family Land and absorbed it into Olympus was the dry rides weren't profitable and they wanted the waterpark as a primary attraction. NGL, they did do a good amount of investment in Family Land and built the indoor waterpark up front: It was kinda old and didn't have the pull that Noah's Ark did. Still not nearly as much of a dump as Riverview Park though lol... that is more like a motel that decided to add a few waterslides.

I was just at Mt. Olympus last Sunday so I will talk about my experience (also, it's been about 9 years since I was last there and it was a different experience in comparison). My town was selling tickets for $5.75 so I bought a bunch for my friends and I to go there. We were charged $25 for parking and workers did check our bags when we went in. We did not like how far away the bathrooms are from the entrance. It was a busy and hot day so we had to wait in long lines...Hades took over an hour to get through. It took us over 3 hours to go on each of the rollercoasters once. We knew that we did not want to buy their expensive food so we brought lunches with us and ate in the parking lot because they do not allow food or drinks to be brought in. We ended up paying for lockers, which cost $12 per locker. It was expensive but we felt it was worth it to do that. After lunch we went on Helios, a go kart track, and I was not a fan because it was a very bumpy track. Also, I felt like herded cattle in the line to get to the karts. We finally got to the water stuff and we had a ton of fun. While Posidons Rage gets all the credit, one wave pool there that gets slept on is Tidal Wave. Tidal Wave is super fun because while it may not be as big as Posidons, you can float on a tube and enjoy the smaller, bouncier waves that last for at least 5 minutes. We loved this pool and created many funny memories there. We also went on the lazy river, which was fun but very crowded and hard to get Tubes to float on. The water play area was also fun but cold. All the lines for the big water slide rides were long and would have taken hours for us to get through so we did not do them. Overall, we had a good day and want to come back next summer. Except, next summer we want to stay a whole weekend and include a different park, probably Noah's ark. The Wilderness is super fun too. But I would not recommend the kalihari because when I went there it felt like a rip off and there were not many rides to go on. Thank you for reading! Signed, a true Wisconsinite

[@flyjarrett]

I’ve been going to the Dells since the 80s. It was a fantastic place back then, but a lot has changed and not for the better. Mt. Olympus is a hodge podge of multiple (very different) parks, including Family Land, Big Chief Go Cart World, and Crazy King Ludwigs go carts. The way I understand it, Big Chief’s ownership bought out the adjacent parks and turned it into Mt. Olympus. They didn’t stop there - they started buying all of the mom and pop hotels in the town and rebranded them as Mt. Olympus. They literally own the town. With the rapid expansion, Mt. Olympus does not seem to have the finances or resources to adequately staff and support the park, as this video suggests. I loved Big Chief Go Carts, but became underwhelmed when Mt. Olympus took over everything. If you want roller coasters, go to Cedar Point. If you want water slides, go to Noah’s Ark or Schlitterbahn. Best avoid this place.

[@Nightowl333]

Wow you’re right, totally forgot go cart part used to be Big Chief! Ah so many Dells memories from childhood. It’s what made me love touristy places. Pretty sure my love for the Dells as a kid turned into my love for Vegas as an adult lol.

[@sethcalliesmusic]

Yeah, Mt. Olympus has just spread throughout the whole town. Noahs Ark, the Wilderness, and the Kalahari are all great! But the owner of Mt. Olympus has just been so obsessed with expansion rather than upgrading their rides and entertainment. When I talked to some employees and managers, they all said the owner was so lackluster when it came to managing the rides, that Hades, Zeus and tons of other rides break down frequently. And the indoor waterpark is closed because of staffing.

Wisconsin Dells is known more for their water parks than theme parks. Some call this place a tourist trap, but it's a nice place in rural Wisconsin. If you actually went there you'll have an amazing time, maybe not at Mt. Olympus, but there are so many experiences you cannot find anywhere else. Wisconsin doesn't have a staple theme park, this is closest we got. You can't really count Great America even though they serve both Chicago and Milwaukee. Take this from someone who has gone to the Dells ever since they were young.

[@theaterhanz]

The owner is not respected or liked by the Dell's community. He has been trying to buy out the whole town. The park is now open to hotel guests only, so you need to stay in their resort to visit. The owner is more focused on expanding and building than on current property management. It's a park which needs leadership and some restraint.

[@Jackspugoasters]

I go there every year for the past 15 years. Here's what I've experienced. 1. There was a go-kart called Medusa's drop which had a main element of a steep drop to drive down. The flaw: it was immediately followed by a tight turn. So one day it was raining pretty hard and as see the drop ahead there is a ton of go-karts all being rear ended, as one crashed into the turn. Some people got really hurt but I was lucky enough to be near the end of the pileup. I was on the last ride before they decided to remove it. 2. On Pegasus I showed the ride op that my restraint was moving a lot. My restraint didn't lock and came up during the lift although I wasn't too worried because the ride is pretty tame. Rolled into the station with my restraint up and just gave the op a look, she just said 'oh sorry' and put some tape on the seat then kept on going like nothing happened. 3. Got hit on a go-kart with the big spiral track, after nobody showed up after 3 dispatched because I was so high up and out of sight, I had to get out and push it free while trying not to get hit by other riders. 4. Was there when the slingshot ride had two of it's cables snap. 5. Had the chain lift snap two times riding Pegasus with my little brother 6. Many times saw ride ops sitting on the rails of the high up stations.

No it’s a relic. I’ve raced go karts through the wooden horse more than one trip, back in the day. As they grew the theme park, they added rides by demolishing the huge amount of go kart tracks there, as this was originally Big Chief Go Karts 2. (The first location is perhaps a mile to the north on a different road and was absolutely epic! They had a slick track, and the most massive insane wooden elevated kart tracks you can imagine, including one with 4 levels all crossing at the center!!)

[@8BitJenn]

If it feels sort of hodge-podgy it's because this park was pieced together from other parks. The indoor water park and some of the surrounding slides used to be Treasure Island and Family Land water parks, and the go kart area started as one of the Big Chief Go Kart properties. In the 1980s a really cool castle stood where part of the park is located. It never did well and is long gone.

All of the guests were mean and I got yelled at by a guest when I questioned why him and his son ran out in front of me from a different gate to board the train on Pegasus, effectively cutting my spot in line. The ops did nothing about it, and this guy made me feel so shitty for questioning why he cut in front of me. Get your credits, ride Hades a few times and get the hell out of there. Whoever is running Mt. Olympus really needs to refine their operations and management - absolutely awful.

[@musicfanhawk4523]

I live right by this place and have never been there or been interested in the place.

I remember going here when the outdoor water park was Family Land, and the indoor water park/hotel was Treasure Island. Never been been to the go-carts/roller coaster section.

[@jordangerard7348]

Went to this park a few years ago. Wasn't impressed. The indoor water park isn't impressive. just a tube slide, lazy river and way too crowded!

[@aoitamashii]

That's what happens when you're an out-of-state investor only interested in money and cobbled the park together out of successive land-buys. They originally only had the coasters and the go-karts. The entire waterpark area was Family Land which they bought out some time later and squeezed the indoor waterpark up front when that started trending around the time Kalahari was built. Before that sort of thing, the Dells was largely shut down for winter. I remember staying with my dad at a hotel there on a roadtrip during winter and the room rate was only $25 instead of the summer price of $150 and half the hotel was winterized and mothballed. Now they have the indoor parks and also the area offers stuff like crosscountry skiing, snowmobiling, etc. which isn't a bad addition ngl

I also didn't have to pay admission -- the staff member said a hotel guest had left behind their wristband because she couldn't use it, so she gave it to me. I was only there for a couple of hours, which was just long enough to ride each coaster once, because the ops were so poor, but considering I didn't pay anything, I can't really complain.

Your review of Mt. Olympus is spot on. Last time we were there was 2016. After spending the day at Noah’s Ark, we went to Mt. Olympus for some night coaster rides. My shorts got caught on a nail and ripped a huge hole in the backside. At basically any other park, I would have been mortified and headed straight for the car. But at Mt. Olympus, I could help but feel like I fit right in, split shorts and all. That’s the best way for me to describe the overall vibe of the park. It’s like your uncle who fixes something by adding duct tape.

Usually you have to pay for parking and the only water park for the hotels is what is there. Possidens rage danger I've gotten bruises, cuts and rode a person. If you go here don't.
