What a top notch experience!…read more Listen, they market this experience well. They make it sound so incredibly magical. So, I was hooked in by the marketing. In the back of my mind, though, I was pretty convinced they were over-selling the enchantment. My friends, if anything, they were under-selling it. It was the coolest, most magical immersive and interactive forest walk of my life. The technology is astounding. As my son who was with me shared after, 'it felt like we were dropped inside a Disney movie'. I couldn't have said it better myself. Beyond the magic, some logistical notes: The trail is wide and dirt/gravel. There are some slightly steep areas and so it's not entirely accessible. My elderly parents opted to skip it and after doing it that was the best call (between the dark, the sometimes slightly uneven ground, and the slightly steep areas, it would have been too much). There are also flashing lights if you're sensitive to that. The entire trail is roughly one mile so you could ostensibly be through with it in 20 minutes. That said, with all the light show magic, it took us just over an hour. There are benches here and there if someone needs a quick rest. I would seriously do this every time I come to the Dells. An absolutely above-and-beyond awe inspiring experience. Get to it!

What a cool immersive light show experience! We came here on a Sunday night after going to Sneaky…read morePete's for dinner and a show, and I guess we weren't the only ones with that same idea because we ran into several other people from dinner who went here afterwards. It was a great idea because they're so close to each other. This very much reminded me of the China Lights experience in Milwaukee, but with a totally different vibe. If you are sensitive to moving lights, this is not for you. This place is only open in the evenings, when it's dark enough for the lights to be seen. They also use a lot of smoke so the lights have plenty to reflect off of for the show. Each 'spot' has about a 3-4 minute display, and it takes about 45 minutes to go through. At the beginning they have a concession stand, and as you're exiting there's a gift shop. Other reviews said this seemed pricy at $25/ person. I was glad it wasn't more expensive per person, but I could see how the flat rate entrance fees could deter some. I'm not sure if they change the theme or the displays each year, but if they do then that would be an awesome way to keep things fresh and bring back repeat guests.

Attendant gave a card with way less credit on it than paid for. What a rip off. If you are gonna automate your system keep the system running well.

Our recent trip to Knucklehead was a bit of a mixed bag. On the positive side, the actual arcade…read moregames were fantastic! We spent hours on the racing simulators and the high-energy shooters. The equipment was well-maintained and very fun to play. However, the experience went downhill at the claw machines. They felt like a total scam! The claw had almost zero grip on the plushies. We watched several prizes slip through the prongs every single time. It was very frustrating for the kids. To make matters worse, the ticket prices were way too high. We burned through our credits much faster than expected. It is hard to enjoy the day when you feel overcharged. I hope the management looks into better pricing soon!

Can I say this is THE BEST attraction in the Dells?…read more I loved riding the mountain/alpine coasters when I visited Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg years ago, so when my friend and I found this while on a casual drive, we knew we had to stop and give it a try. It was $20 per person (a little pricey, in my opinion), but the ride was well worth it. It really lets you connect with nature. We came at non-peak times, which let both of us go full speed without any worries. Normally, the photos for purchase from attractions like these are on the pricey side. We were able to purchase our photos together and got a discount on them. I think it came out to $10 per photo, which is a great deal in my opinion.

Anna was our guide, and Marvin & Mark were the horse‑powered dream team pulling us through the canyon like absolute professionals. Anna nailed it! She was friendly, funny, and knew the canyon history like she wrote the book. The scenery? Gorgeous. The horses? Legends. The whole tour? Peak vacation greatness. If you're bringing your family to the Dells, do this. It's beautiful, it's fun, and nobody gets sunburned in a canyon.

The trip takes 40 minutes. I would suggest paid in cash and save the credit card fees. Each time slot is about 16 person. The pulled horses will take you through the canyon.

The rock of the canyon is beautiful.

We recently visited the Great Wolf Lodge for a winter escape with our 1.5 year old and it was a…read moresuccessful trip! We stayed in a single king room and were pleasantly surprised with how much space we had, it didn't feel cramped even with all the toddler gear. Both the hotel and the waterpark were consistently clean throughout our stay. For a high traffic family resort this was impressive and much appreciated. The wave pool and dedicated toddler area were a huge hit. Our little dude had a blast and it was great to have a safe, age appropriate space for him to explore. The lodge is due for some updates, specifically the waterpark equipment - the water jet skis in the toddler area were all broken and material was visibly chipping. While my toddler didn't notice the cosmetic wear, as a parent it is a little worrisome. I'd say visiting in the winter was the perfect way to beat the cold, though it did limit us to indoor sections. We're definitely curious to return when it's warmer to see how the outdoor area fairs. Overall a great choice for families with toddlers, but hopefully, management will invest in some much needed repairs to the play features soon!

Horrendous customer service. I reserved the deluxe room through Expedia, with a fireplace. When I…read moregot there, they put me into a regular room that had a rancid disgusting smell. I complained to the front desk. They said they cannot do anything about the deluxe room, but they moved me to another standard room, which was ok, but not what I paid for. The whole experience was extremely inconvenient and took over an hour of my vacation time. I typically don't post bad reviews like this unless the place is really bad. I communicated with their management to try to work this out. They basically told me to go pound sand and to deal with Expedia. Expedia told me it's Great Wolf Lodge problem not their problem. With so many other nice water parks in the area, why would I come back to this sh*thole?

At first I didn't think all that much of this wooden coaster but after a ride I was like wow that was fun! During my ride I can see that Zeus has recently been retracked in several areas making for a solid fun quick and just smooth ride! This was a super fun and enjoyable coaster that's perfect for all ages so get the kids on it as you can just tell it's just that fun! This is definitely the second best coaster in the park next to Hades360 but this is more or less your standard wooden coaster of awesomeness! Overall this was a great ride and it took me by surprise with how much I enjoyed it so much so that I got about 4 rides on it! It's with that I hope that I can come back to ride again soon because this was a super fun coaster!

LIGHTNING STRIKES THRICE…read more Zeus was the 3rd CCI woodie to appear at Mt Olympus Theme Park and has the highest coaster stats of the original Grecian trio (the other two being the smaller Pegasus and mid-sized Cyclops). At 90ft tall and 60mph, Zeus bears decent stats for a wooden coaster and has much more oomph than you'd think at first glance. The track is 2,900 feet in length but only delivers a ride time of 1 minute 25 seconds, since the train absolutely FLIES through the course. No trim brakes, no slow downs. As with all the other coasters here, Zeus runs a single train operation. From the lefthand turn after the lift to the station brakes, this thing runs full tilt. There's enough negative G's to satisfy even the most airtime-thirsty riders, and forceful lateral G's absolutely SLAM you in turns. It has the potential to be unpleasantly painful, so watch out. Trains use individual ratcheting lapbars and a shared seatbelt with seat dividers. Like its coaster brethren Pegasus and Cyclops, the boxy PTC trains aren't the most comfortable and offer little protection from the unusually intense out-and-back experience. With regards to front row vs back row, I cannot comment on the former due to the unnaturally long waits associated with these damn 1-train ops. But I can say that the rear of the train provides ample negative G's and a thoroughly rough ride.....but in a good way. __________ Well, that just about wraps it up for me and this trip to Mt Olympus. Hopefully y'all enjoyed reading my ride reviews this year; this marks my 40th roller coaster review in 2016, which matches my combined total from 2014 & 2015. 2017 will hopefully see many more thrills + chills + spills for yours truly, since I moments ago purchased a gold pass for the Six Flags parks (hey, it was on sale for $64.99). I'll look to knock out another 40 coasters next year at Magic Mountain, New England, and possibly Hotlanta. So until next time...... Put those hands up...... And keep on ridin'.
