| | | Awsome testing pics. That turn just worries me a bit. I look foward to riding it just to see what it's like, Maybe in the next 2 years i'll make my way to that park.

| | | You lucky, lucky Americans. Hades looks stunning! Especially that 90 degree banked turn. We havent seen a decent woodie built in the UK since 1996 (Megafobia), yet America seems to be having a woodie renaissance at the moment. You really are spoilt for choice over there. Yes the UK is a smaller country and we have far less parks than you, but a few woodies still wouldnt go amiss. |

| | | I would assume that is the case, but they are trying to make it more like a real theme park so they might have 2 on this one now. Now I think the bigger question is whether this will be a 2 circuit ride.

| | | One train and the park did away with 2 cycles this past season when it became MtOlympus. Even with one train on the coasters, I have never had more than a one train wait. If you have never been there, don't worry about the one train operation. This is not a normal park. The only thing that worries me a little is that long lift hill. This will be a long cycle, but I still think one train is enough. |

| | | One train is going to be slow. Why are they only having one train? Tsunami is a smaller coaster and has 2 or 3 trains. Is it just park policy or something?

| | | Tsunami is not at MtOlympus. Not many people go to Mt Olympus and most of the ones who do ride the go-carts. Unless you have been there, don't worry about it.
edit: Unless you mean during con. I would be very worried about that.

| | | You never have to wait for more than a train or two, even on weekends during the summer.
