Ill wait for the intial shock that this could happen at Mt. Olympus wear off...

Im amazed the park hasnt had more incidents given their rides, how poorly they maintain them, and how they train their employees. Its a shame too, because the wave pool is the best wave pool north of Typhoon Lagoon.

How are their rides poorly maintained? Do you mean that in a crappy ride experience way or unsafe way?

^Their wooden coasters are rough as hell. The rest in all fairness is inference, but its because most of the employees have a "I just dont care" attitude from ride ops (talking to friends is far more important then safety checks, my lap bar was never checked, nor was my seat belt,) to janitors (the bathrooms are filthy,) to any other staff I interacted on the times Ive been to that park.

I know Im not the only one with that opinion of that park, read some other TRs around.

Yeah, I thought I'd never live to see the day when a ride op thought if we loved Cyclops so much that we should try the back seat without a seatbelt.

Mind you, that was in '02 back when we thought gravity was a made up thing :)
