Does that mean the coaster changes its name every time a new version of the game comes out?

To clarify, Hades 360; the inversion was the only smooth part. The ride was absolutely horrifying in 2012, my coaster count is at 615 according to coaster counter, and Hades 360 was by far the roughest coaster I have ever been on by a country mile. I'm not exactly soft either, so I can't say I was being overly sensitive about it. The shame is when I first rode it back in 2007, it was absolutely brilliant, back row at night was mind-blowing. The other coasters at Mt Olympus weren't super rough last time I was there, nothing exceptional as coasters, except the last drop on Cyclops. I actually like Mt Olympus personally, there's cool go-kart tracks, and lots of them, the ten foot wave pool, indoor and outdoor water parks. It was fun, though it is out of the way. Avalanche was a bit rough, much better front row. It's a funny little park, Timber Falls.

Thanks Richard. I did read it when it first went up I must have skipped that part.

I disagree, the removal of overhead/shoulder restraints on inverted coasters in favour of just lapbar style restraints such as on BS & GL is to give you that less assured and safe feeling. The more exposed or free you are, the naturally more fearful you are of falling out.

Let me explain where I am coming from, as a terrified rider. I find Scooby Doo quite ok to ride, the start and ends are tame, the backwards part is frightening but brief and then you can see the track laid out in front of you for the main section of the ride. My memory of the Mine Ride is of it feeling super fast and having little track visibility and it scared the bejesus out of me to ride it. After my first ride the operator said I was the most terrified rider she had ever seen in fact, a title I have carried proudly now for many years, and one I look forward to defending if (when) the ride re-opens.
