Hades 360 (until 2012 Hades ) in Mount Olympus Water & Theme Park ( Wisconsin Dells , Wisconsin , USA ) is a wooden roller coaster from the manufacturer Gravity Group , which opened on May 14, 2005. For the 2013 season, the track was modified with a corkscrew and renamed. The support structure of the track is made of metal, so Hades 360 is counted among the hybrid coasters.
It's the biggest roller coaster in the park. In 2005, Hades was voted “Best New Ride Attraction” by Amusement Today magazine . It is a rarity among wooden roller coasters because of its 65 ° steep descent and its 90 ° inclined curves, because the descents and angles of these steep slopes are normally not typical for wooden roller coasters due to static limitations.
Trains
Hades owned a Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters train with five cars. Four people (two rows of two people) could sit in each car. As part of the modification, the railway got a new train from the Gravity Group with 12 cars for two people in a row.
