Hades 360 at RCDB

Hades 360 is an exciting wooden roller coaster located at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. It first opened in 2005 under the name Hades. In 2013, the ride was updated and renamed Hades 360.

This roller coaster is special because it has features not often seen on wooden coasters. These include a full 360-degree roll, a very steep 65-degree drop, and turns that are banked at extreme angles. These elements make Hades 360 a unique and thrilling ride. The ride was designed by a company called The Gravity Group.

History of Hades 360

Hades first opened its doors to riders on May 14, 2005. Years later, in 2013, the park decided to make some big changes. They worked with The Gravity Group again to add a cool new feature: a 360-degree upside-down roll. This roll was added where a second hill used to be.

They also added an "overbanked turn," which is a turn that tilts more than 90 degrees. With these updates, the coaster was renamed Hades 360. It also received a new type of train called a Timberliner train. This new train was longer than the old one, so the station had to be changed to fit it. The old train had ten rows, but the new one has twelve.

Awards and Recognition

In its first year, 2005, Hades 360 (then known as Hades) won a special award. It was voted "Best New Ride" by a magazine called Amusement Today. This award is like a big prize for roller coasters.

Hades 360 has continued to be recognized over the years. The table below shows how it has ranked among other wooden roller coasters in the Golden Ticket Awards.
