After getting more airtime than most coasters at big theme parks you finally make it to Hades lift hill.

Hades lift hill only goes up one hundred and thirty-six feet but due to elevation changes and the masters of the terrain coaster at Gravity Group who built The Voyage as well as worked on the likes of Boulder Dash, Raven and Legend while working for the now defunct Custom Coasters International worked it so that the total elevation difference on Hades in one hundred and sixty feet.

It's kind of hard to show you some of the best parts of Hades namely because they're in the tunnel that goes under the parking lot.  You have to expect some serious underground action on a ride called Hades as he is the god of the underworld.  Let's just say that once you dive underground Hades has more than a few surprises for you.

After your first trip through the underworld Hades sends you sky ward out at the far end of the parking lot for a nice negative-g filled turnaround.
