When I visited Mount Olympus I told the lady who ran my motel that I was going and she said, "I've got a few free tickets. They give all the local motels a few free tickets and I never use them, so you might as well have one of them". I wonder if anyone ever pays to get into Mount Olympus.

Had the pleasure of riding that last year, was pretty good tbh but also had the rare enthusiast experience of instilling actual fear in you before riding. Unfortunately that was the fear of being stuck on the lift hill facing upwards in blazing 30C heat. It was breaking down all day but we lucked out, glad i had the chance to ride it.

They sent one train with customers when I visited, I'd have been on the third train. Came back into the station and it wouldn't lift back up. I believe some people were stuck on it for 30 minutes.Had the pleasure of riding that last year, was pretty good tbh but also had the rare enthusiast experience of instilling actual fear in you before riding.

Not surprised that it is a fun house this time, always thought they were an accident waiting to happen. I slipped on the stairs myself whilst in one last week.

The "OMG" will have been added by the ThikToker, whose video they've shared, whereas the warning will have been added over the original video by the Sun themselves.It's a bit odd how the video in the Sun starts off with a disclaimer saying some viewers might find it distressing and ends with a cartoon OMG floating across like something out of a comic book.

Love the woman in the high vis at the end running away instead of helping.

What the hell
I'm so glad that the people landed the right way up. That likely decreased the number and severity of injuries.

That was a massive weight that slammed into them. Hoping it's not life changing. It's a horrible crunch almost like wood. I take it that was the fiberglass shell making that noise? Thankfully it landed right ways up. The amount of stress on that post is alot.Eeeeeeeeeesh!
I'm very concerned for those who were on the side of the gondola that hit the counterweight arm. That's going to be Smiler-level injuries.

Was the epic slow-mo shot an addition by the tokker or was it just the sun?The "OMG" will have been added by the ThikToker, whose video they've shared, whereas the warning will have been added over the original video by the Sun themselves.
Nasty, nasty accident - we all say nanny state, but at least things like that aren’t happening over here. Hope everyone can walk out about okay after some treatment.
