Hades to go 360° in 2013

It has been revealed that Wisconsin Dells based theme park Mt. Olympus plans to permanently modify their Hades rollercoster.

The wooden & steel hybrid rollercoaster will have a barrel roll inversion added to the layout, following the trend seen on other similar rollercoatsers also opening in 2013. Wooden roller coaster manufacturers The Gravity Group, who designed the original Hades ride in 2005, will oversee the alterations. The Gravity Group will also be installing their popular Timberliner trains to run on the track.

With it's awesome 70mph lengthy tunnel under the parking lot and a barrel roll, Hades has the potential to be a must-ride coaster next season! Watch the video for a teaser.

This will be an epic addition to Hades, and it defiantly looks good, I will be curious if it will be still called Hades or if it will have the addition of 360° in it's name.

By the looks of the video, it might be called Hades 360.

Something that isn't clear to me is, will the Barrel roll be added on by Gravty Group or by a seperate company e.g. Rocky mountain?
