Mt. Olympus - Water & Theme Park Resort

We booked a room that said it was 0-1 minutes away from the water park, the put us far away and had to walk with two little kids more than 10 minutes on a road with traffic and without a sidewalk. We were put in a motel like room with thin walls, could hear all the road traffic and the neighbors all night. The neighbors weren’t even loud, just such thin walls, we were kept awake by their chatting and laughing. Also no water in the room and far away from any amenities. We paid $342 for one night in horrible, inconvenient accommodations. When we arrived we also found out it would have been cheaper to just get a room when we arrived than the fake online discounts. Also, they wanted to charge us $130 more to be closer to the water park. Such a rip off and lack of basic amenities. Update: I tried calling and requesting room service bring us some water, since I walked around outside and couldn’t find a convenience store, they refused.

Great place for the family, especially the kids, although you must prepare to pay a premium with $40 parking and $50(individual ticket for adult). If you wait foe the fall/winter time, they normally will have discounted deals/tickets that you can purchase way ahead of time for use in the summer. Also, weekdays as less busy!

Clean, safe, friendly staff, and always an amazingly fun time! Something for everyone! Fun for all ages. Love the water AND theme park. Favorites are Hades 360 coaster and Posiedens Rage wave pool, or taking it easy on the lazy river. Go Kart lines can be long, as well as any newer attractions.

Mt. Olympus is pretty nice. We went on a Wednesday, and lines for most of the theme park rides were 10-15 min wait. Hades is a very rough ride, and I didn't enjoy it at all. But Zues coaster was fast and lots of fun with minimal roughness. Water park is where we spend most of our time. Got there right when they opened and got out seat by the wave pool. I would suggest bringing a cooler of food and drinks and going back to the car to eat. No food or drink aloud from outside. But everything inside the park is pricey. A can of sunscreen was $20.

3 stars because at the water park there’s is a no loose shirt rule on extreme water slides. Which I understand is there for safety. The life guard made a younger teen (who was a bit chubby) take off his tight fitting water shirt even though the kid said he’s done the slide multiple times before and was allowed to keep it on. Yet any adults, women, or kids at who were more fit didn’t have to remove shirts no mater if they were loose. It seemed like the life guard was picking on the kid but it was hard to tell what his thought process was. Also 3 stars because the outdoor water slide with a pink multi person raft, yellow multi person raft, or the blue lay down slide was not very organized. They sign at the very bottom explaining that there is a single staircase for 3 different slide options. The colored markers throughout the stairs were too faded to see where to go. Some people didn’t understand that pink had to stay to the right and yellow stays to the right. So some people were blocking others from getting to the other slides. Also it confused a lot of little kids on why some people are passing them on the staircase. It would be a lot better if they made 3 different staircases for the 3 separate slides so customers don’t get so confused. There was a lot of arguments and kids crying over the line. Water Park: Love the new water slides! The tallest slide in America was an hour wait at about mid day but definitely worth the wait. It is a long ride down and at high speeds. There are also 4 medium height slides off the front of the tower half way up. The Drop was the open face slide that was a free fall to the bottom. Medusa was like a ferris wheel look on the outside, was a mind teaser. Medusa slide was a family favorite. Outdoor Theme Park: We were slightly disappointed that the Trojan go kart track does not go up the spiral ramp but come to find out that part of the track has been closed for about a decade. There is a track that does have multiple levels available to drive on. Hercules was an amazing ride. It’s a wooden roller coaster that goes under the parking lot and does a 360 roll. I definitely recommend buying tickets online. It was $5 cheaper per person. Food prices were fairly reasonable. You get a wristband so you can go back to your car anytime. They say no food or drink in the park but they sometimes let water through security.
