Hades 360

What a beast of a coaster. I will be honest, if you are not a coaster enthusiast or only go on roller coasters a couple of times a year, chances are you will be overwhelmed by how violent and rough the ride is. Simple as that. All the 1 star reviews make reference to that. If you know what you are getting into, and if you love aggressive roller coasters, you are gonna frigging love it. This is arguably one of the best layouts of any wooden coaster period; it has so many unique elements that you will not experience anywhere else. Just the pre-lift hill section itself is bonkers, let alone the tunnels and the inversion. Pure chaos from start to finish. We got two rides back to back because there was no one else waiting in line and all riders agreed to give it another go. That became a core experience for me.

This coaster is great. Its a shame that it is wasted on the park that it is in. For a wooden coaster this size it is actually surprisingly smooth. The last time I was at the park it wasn't running and I almost didn't bother going back for it because of all the reviews of it being rough. I am sure glad that I did. It is definitely a top wooden coaster.

It was a good ride but was really jarring. I love roller costers and bigger rides, but I could only go on ot once my shoulders hurt afterwards.

⭐ 1 Star Hades Roller Coaster – The Worst Coaster Experience of My Life! I have been on countless roller coasters around the world, and without a doubt, Hades has been the worst experience I’ve ever had. This ride is extremely rough and feels outdated and unsafe. The entire time, it violently shakes your neck, back, and head, to the point where it honestly feels like you’re in a car accident. There is no moment of relief—it just keeps slamming your body over and over. After the ride, not only was I in pain, but every single one of my friends who rode with me was sore for days. We were all shocked at how physically damaging this roller coaster was. It’s beyond uncomfortable—it’s dangerous. I absolutely do not recommend this ride to anyone. I really hope the park considers updating or redesigning it before more people get hurt.

It is literaly called hades 360, of course its going to feel like your in hell but you signed up for that. If you don't have back problems before, you'll have them after. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to take a ride in the dryer this is the ride for you. Yes there are nuts and bolts littering the ground below the roller coaster but that just sets the mood. The mini concusions, chest and back pain are all a part of the experience. Don't go on this coaster that is literally named after the Greek god of the underworld expecting a smooth ride because it feels like hades himself is your chiropractor and he is not in a good mood.

The first time I've went on this ride was about 2 or 3 years ago and from what I remember was it wasn't as shakey I remember just feeling a little light headed but I was fine otherwise but I went on this roller-coaster yesterday July 30th 2025 and I got on right away their was just enough people to fit the roller-coaster I was with my dad and the the lap bar could still move around even when it was locked the ride started and was immediately shakey and and hurting and it got worse when you go underground all I hear is rattling and I'm shaking so much my head and neck hurts. When the ride was over everyone was complaining their head or neck was hurting now and it really did shake you up badly I almost couldn't even enjoy the ride because all the shaking and the next day my neck and back still hurts. I love roller-coasters but I never seen a roller-coaster shake and hurt me this bad so please fix it a little people will start wanting to ride this again. Beware the pain is real!

Good: It’s fast and does a loop. Bad: it’s extremely rough. I’m not old, and the neck pain immediately felt during the ride is terrible. Might ruin the rest of our 3 day weekend. Do NOT go on this first day, you will regret it. Worst wooden coaster I’ve ever been on, “fun”, but painful. Tunnels are loud and violent as well, wasn’t a fan of that.

⚠️ SERIOUS SAFETY WARNING ⚠️ I’m not one to leave reviews — I believe everyone is entitled to their own experiences — but this is different. We should be warning people. If you have any back, neck, or spine issues — DO NOT RIDE THIS. I have disc problems in my back and have ridden many roller coasters over the years — this is nothing like the others. The force and impact were equivalent to being in a car accident, leaving me with whiplash on top of my existing issues. I left in severe pain and now have to see a doctor immediately. This ride is far more violent and jarring than a typical coaster and felt unsafe the entire time. Please protect yourself. It’s not worth the risk. This should be shut down before someone suffers permanent injury.

I did not ride this ride, but my family did. I hear it jerks you a lot and can cause an issue. I'll pass. My family and their friend said it was a great ride. Wait time wasn't too bad either. Staff was super nice. Myself and another mom just stepped through to the other side and let them go.

You will either love it or hate it. It's rough, aggressive, jerky as anything, sharp corners and unexpected surprises at almost every turn. You're thrown into it from the moment you leave the station. It is very unique and highly recommended for those who love rollercoaster. You will get airtime from almost every drop, in the front seats as well (surprise). A wooden coaster with a 360 corkscrew that by the way comes in the middle of already getting airtime from a drop and turn. That is a great touch. My child put it in the top 3 thrill rides and I can't argue.

Review # 1,200 most definitely needs to go to this amazing coaster as this should be on every coaster enthusiast's list to ride as it's just amazing in sooo many ways! Coming here i didn't expect this coaster to be as amazing as it turned out to be but after my first ride I was left wanting another! The first drop sends you speeding into a tunnel of darkness that's underneath the parking lot inside there's some high banked curves in either direction which just makes for an awesome element in the dark once through the tunnel you find yourself entering into an inversion yes an inversion on a wooden coaster with a wooden track this transition is amazing and smooth the entire way through after the next high banked turn you find yourself going back through the underground tunnel and off to enjoy the rest of this amazing coaster! This is definitely up there with my favorite wooden coasters in the country as it's got amazing elements with tons of airtime and a great layout all key things that make this coaster amazing Gravity Group really built an awesome wooden coaster here it's for that reason I'm sure I'll be back here again at some point to ride this just amazing wooden god!

Usually I love every rollercoasters I go on. But this time was different I'm 12 so I'm not a karen. Waited for 1 1/2 hours, I had a head ache for 30 minutes after the ride. Felt like I had a broken back for like 3 days. I don't recommend this horrendous ride.

Oh it's fun. The tunnels are nice and long and give a good sense of sensory deprivation that make the most gentle bunny hops feel way bigger. Probably due for a retracking. Would be cool if they added a longer brake run at the end so they could run more than one train. This is a coaster that smokes cigs inside.

The ride is really fun until after the first drop. The coaster is so shaky and whipping your head back and forth that you immediately are no longer having fun. I found myself trying to keep my head in place and in pain while the ride continued. There is no head rest to help with that either. Everyone felt like they had whiplash afterwards and a day later all have terrible neck and back pain.

FIRE DØWN BELØW The Grecian God of the Underworld wants you to join his legion of souls. Do you dare? Well you should dare, because the new-and-improved Hades 360° is quite simply one of the most intense wooden roller coasters on the planet. Not only does it contain a massive corkscrew inversion, not only does it hit a blazing top speed of 70mph, but it features the world's longest underground tunnel on a coaster. That's right, this bad bitch travels underneath the entirety of the Mt Olympus parking lot (800 feet each way) in complete and total darkness. But even before this, Hades 360° is notable for perhaps one of the best opening intros on any coaster ever built. There's a 50ft drop immediately out of the station (a la Kennywood's "Thunderbolt") followed by a series of tight hillturns and a double-down bump. There's a solid 30-45 seconds of wicked coaster experience before the train even engages the 136ft chain lift hill. The view from atop gives a great panorama of the Wisconsin Dells -- look ahead and to your left to spot "Avalanche", another great wooden coaster at the nearby Timber Falls entertainment complex. You'll quickly notice that the only track in sight is more than two and a half football fields away.....on the other end of the parking lot! Moments later, Hades 360° drops down 140ft and comes ROARING into the underground tunnel as the 4th* fastest wooden coaster in the world (*tied with El Toro). There's no telling what actually happens during its time underneath the parking lot......but I CAN tell you that there's at least one section of track that's banked at 90° to the horizontal. This means that amidst the shroud of pitch black nothingness, the track tilts upright, sending your train completely sideways. As dark as it is and as fast as the coaster is traveling, those fleeting moments in the Pit of Hades are absolutely terrifying. So terrifying, in fact, that my car keys couldn't handle it and abandoned ship. They got too scared and jumped out of the coaster train, where they stayed for the next 22 hours until mechanics rescued them. Upon emerging from the depths of darkness, the train executes a corkscrew element (rare for a wooden coaster) with a surprising amount of grace. After this, the train flies into an overbanked turn and once again plunges back into chaos. On the return trip underneath the parking lot, there's a few surprises like a hidden drop and mini trick-track element towards the very end of the tunnel. The train explodes back into daylight and gets slowed down by a large hill alongside the station. Another series of hi-speed curves and an upward spiraling turn brings the train onto the final brake run and station platform. There's tons of airtime in just about any seat on the ride, especially the back row, although the front row does have its own thrilling merits. ~Special ride elements~ *800ft underground tunnel *90° banked turn (in darkness) *corkscrew *110° overbanked turn *800ft underground tunnel In 2013, Mt Olympus replaced the old PTC trains with snazzy Timberliner ones courtesy of GravityKraft (a division of The Gravity Group that specializes in roller coaster trains). They *had* to replace them, since navigating a corkscrew and overbanked turn wouldn't have been possible in the old boxy cars. The new seats are very 'cozy' and larger guests might find difficulty squeezing into them. The lapbar restraints are padded and intentionally oversized for the sake of rider safety. ::Closing remarks:: If you asked me to put together a list of the wildest wooden coasters on earth, it'd probably include The Beast, The Voyage, Boulder Dash, T-Express, Balder......and Hades 360°. The biggest coaster at Mt Olympus is almost a mile long and lasts nearly 2 1/2 minutes, which is fortunate because with only one 12-row train operating, lines can creep up into the 1-1.5 hour range. Hades 360° is a truly devilish ride that shouldn't be viewed lightly or taken for granted. You know it's funny, my car keys truly have been to Hell and back again. And if you ask me...... Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be.

This ride will give you a jarring headaches and your neck will hurt for days. If it wasn't wooden it would be great. Worst ride I've ridden in my life. I'd give a negative review if I could

It was so much fun and that drop gets your heart racing although I left with a terrible neck cramp that lasted for a week and I got that from when you go underground and it is so shaky it starts to hurt but overall it was fun and really gets your adrenaline going.

ouchy-ouch. pain....oh so much pain. me and my friends left the super sonic jet with crippling headaches and sore limbs; sore backs, arms, legs and necks. it went about 70mph which would have been fun but it was so bumpy that it had us clinching out teeth and gripping the handle out of sheer terror and indescribable jerking. I made several deals with god and may have to give up my first child after just surviving. ruined roller coasters for the rest of the day.

I would definitely give Hades 360 a 5/5. This ride makes you have so much fun that it would be a ride to never forget. When you visit the Mt. Olympus Amusement Park side, this is definitely a ride to go on. If you have a fear of heights or if you don't like going on rollercoasters, I would suggest go on the other rollercoasters like Pegasus, Cyclops, and Zeus. These rollercoasters will get you ready for the hell of the ride that you might end up going on. I would definitely recommend this rollercoaster to anyone who visits Mt. Olympus. Hades is the first ever wooden rollercoaster with a 360 degree upside down turn. The drop is pretty nice. The only thing I would recommend is that they add something to hold on to. When I go on Hades, there is a black strap that you can hang on to but I feel like they should add something and make their seats like the Aerosmith Rockin Rollercoaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Overall this is definitely a rollercoaster to go on if you're a daredevil!!

hades 360 is apart of the mount olympus amusement park alongside with a bunch of other rollercoasters that I would highly recommend going on such as the Pegasus, Cyclops, and Zeus being the second best. The wait for Hades 360 was about a 35-40 minute wait for me but other days it might be up to an hour or so if you don't mind waiting. Seeing other people ride Hades like it was nothing, I had decided why not conquer Hades as well since i heard that it's amazing. The ride itself goes about 70mph+ in .3 seconds filled with a 360 loop that will sure make you scream as well as the giant drop that takes you literally underground in pitch black TWICE!! After the ride was over i honestly had so much adrenaline that i wanted to ride it again but waiting in line would've been a hassle. the employees make sure you're strapped in your seat very well so i would definitely ride Hades 360 the next time i visit wisconsin dells!
