Mount Olympus announced plans last month to drastically transform the Hades coaster for the 2013 season. The transformation includes the addition of a corkscrew inversion and 135-degree over-banked turn.
The park is wasting no time in constructing the new section of the coaster. Mount Olympus posted the following photos on the park’s Facebook page:

The Hades transformation includes more than just new track elements: “One last look at Hades old train as Hades 360 will be getting a brand new timber liner train.”
Meanwhile, The Gravity Group posted the following photos on the company’s Facebook page:

I have already ridden this coaster for the first time on august 15, 2021 and for the second time on August 10, 2022 and I can’t wait to ride it with the lights off again in 2023
I’ve ridden this coaster twice on august 11, 2023
