New price structure for 2020. You have to stay in one of 2200 rooms owned by MO to even enter the park now. i reserved my room(one queen bed for one adult) at the toll free number....$203 (former $25 parking is now included plus 2 days admission to the park,nice huge room with 60 cable channels and a 4-person sofa)all for $140 plus $35 for resort fees tax and another $25 local state tax. Temps were in near 90 degrees. All four woodies were operating. I only rode one coaster today,Hades 360....10 minute wait to get on. They were wiping down the harnesses after every ride. They're 100 ft plus high circle swing was refreshing on a super hot day. They were wiping down the grab bars and seats. I left the park after 5 hours when they texted me that my room was ready for check-in an hour early than early. I was surprised that the on- ride photo booth for Hades was shut down.....at $18 per photo that's quite a moneymaker. I had 2 pina coladas with real alcohol for $10 each before i left the park today. There's live music being played outdoors tonight at a bar on the strip. Bands name is Road Trip which i assume is classic rock(YEA !!!)

Part 2 There is virtually nothing left of Timber Falls Adventure Park....the skyscraper ride is still there and business as usual as is Timber Falls mini golf across the street. There is the huge original sign out by the road that says TFAP with 4 attractions listed below ROLLER COASTER LOG FLUME BUMPER BOATS SKYSCRAPER---JOE'S Authentic Mexican Restaurant now occupies the former property of the coaster,flume,and bumper boats.
. Also coming to the Wilderness Resort on the strip at the end of summer TAKE FLIGHT, a ride similar to Disneys SOAR. They're working on it right now.

They let you access Mt. Olympus before check in?

Is only the across the street mini golf open at a Timber Falls or is the mini golf on the part of the property where the rides were, open too?

Only Timber Falls mini golf across the street now. Skyscraper ride is still there and is operational. Remember the main street that featured the big drop for Hellcat/Avalanche ? That's exit 87 off I-94....also known as Highway 13 Approximately a half mile south of timber falls golf there is a new property(it looks like a huge hotel went under) with burger king on one side and a quality inn and suites on the other side across from a Denny's. This is the check-in for Mount Olympous Park Here you show your ID and credit card & they give you a parking pass good for 2 days, wristband(s)you put them on and room cards/keys for your room later on that night. You can't get into your room until 4pm that afternoon. Go to the park and have fun. Pull into the parking lot at mount olympus past the shuttered parking ticket booths and park in any spot you want as there are no parking attendants to guide you. There was a 10 minute line to get in at 9:55am, they were checking backpacks and swimsuit/towel bags for forbidden food and drink carry-ins. No walk thru metal detectors or wand sweeps like the BIG theme parks. They were wiping down restraints after every ride on Hades 360. Gone are the days when you stayed at the cheaper hotel down the street,paid your $25 parking fee and then paid $40-50$ to get into the park....at least in the Dells.

Saturday morning June 20 maybe 30 cars in the parking lot at 10 minutes before the park opens....hopefully lots of rides on Hades 360 - very overcast sky
