Ride Experience

The coaster turns 180 degrees out of the station and ascends the 90 foot lift hill. A left hand turn and the ride drops 85 feet. A series of low airtime hills take the ride under the lift hill of the Hades roller coaster and out to the back of the park. A high speed turn around puts the track parallel to the first set of hills. More airtime hills and a right hand turn bring the train back to the station.

History

Zeus was partially retracked at the end of the 2018 season in order to provide a smoother riding experience.
