Mount Olympus

Saturday, August 1, 2009
This morning we packed quickly and set off for Mount Olympus Water and Theme Park. When we got there, the first thing we did was ride Hades, the world’s longest underground roller coaster. It was so much fun. When we crested the largest hill, we dropped straight down underground. It was super fun! But, the best part of the park was Poseidon’s Rage. It was the greatest wave pool ever. Every two minutes a nine foot wave would come crashing over us. Because Nick is such a strong swimmer, we always had a place right in the front of the crowd. We spent about two hours in Poseidon’s Rage, and later came back to play in it again. We also went on a lazy river, called The River Troy, which had the fastest current of any lazy river ever.
Mount Olympus Water and Theme Park was really fun. Of course the best part was that is all Greek Mythology, which was very fun. After we shopped for souvenirs, we left the park at about five. We didn’t want to spend another night in Wisconsin Dells because the hotel prices were so high because of all the amusement parks. So we drove for about two hours to Eau Claire, and stayed at an old hotel.
