WOW!

You're telling me. The pictures left me speechless. If this coaster delivers half of what it looks like it will, it's going to be an incredible ride.

Someone want to give me a trip to the Dells? Please? :P

I've ridden all the coasters at the dells but this one has got to be the best. In fact my first coaster was the dells. cyclops or zues or whatever one. The tunnel is AMAZING as is that 90 turn.

I think Coasterlove is hitting the Dells pretty soon. It would be cool to hear all about it from him.

That is sooooo coooool. I cant wait! so when is the official opening?

I definitely think this is the scariest looking wooden coaster ever. The banking in that tunnel doesn't look like it would be safe.

Opening is Memorial Day weekend. Nice to see you here Moosh. There is a topic on this over in the construction forum for those looking for more info.

I post here on occasion, Rav

Coaster track makes good wallpaper.

you gotta love the 90 degree bank. That is one of the most awesome banks I have seen yet.

Yea, those pictures just convinced me to plan a trip for this summer. Excuse me, I have to go book a flight now.

Yeah this coaster looks amazing to say the least...I love the tunnel and if I could get at to this park, I probably would just to ride this thing.

Call me crazy, but remember those rummors of the 91-93* overbank? I can swear that turn is a hair past 90*.

If you look at that pic in a window that is just large enough for it and then move the right side of the window back and fourth across it as a vertical straight edge, you should see what I mean. The back of the support on that far right against the wall will all disappear under the side of the window together, but the vertical supports closest to the track from there to the man will disappear from bottom to top. They get even again over his head and then go top to bottom after that. I am pretty sure that is past 90*.

Well I see what you are talking about. Definately sit on the right side of the train when riding this.

I am amazed, That turn is going to be wicked. I also wonder just how rough that would be on the body.

It looks amazing but will it feel amazing. If i ride i will not be sitting on the left side.

Everytime I ride a coaster, it valleys. I've never been on a stalled coaster or had one roll back (except Wicked Twister and what was Superman: Ultimate Escape, which does that by design).

i was just thinking that depending on the type of train and seating arragements used, one rider will definitely be smashed during that turn

Not only does it have all of those tunnels and banking, but it has the track sections where it goes under it's self for good effect. Add the wicked turns and everything else, this ride is amazing. I think it's the first time I've seen everyone agree on. No matter what new ride someone will come up and say how dumb one part of it looks. Like the drop on Silver Bullett.

is it just me, or does it look like they're testing it with huge bags of trash in the seats instead of the typical half human shaped water filled dummies? haha. i can't WAIT to ride this ride.

Great pics once again. I really want to see more pics of it on the turns in the tunnel.

Wow. Simply amazing, and a coaster Wisconsin can finally get recognized for. I hope we can see continued additions like this out of Mt. Olympus (and I won't doubt it, I think they're finally becoming a destination park).

Good to see PTC trains on there. They use them on the other coasters, but G-trains have become so common I was worried about it.
