Count alpines and indoor spinners, or skip this page. The mountain coaster is the only outdoor sled. Knuckleheads and Tom Foolery's are FEC credits inside trampoline / resort buildings. If you came for Hades 360, Olympus is the day — buy that ticket and ignore this loop.

The mapped order

Start south in Baraboo so you are rolling when the alpine posts 11am. Then north into the Dells for Knuckleheads on Gasser Road and Tom Foolery's at Kalahari. Olympus sits on the Parkway as optional afternoon overflow — not a fourth hour-stop.

Schematic of three Wisconsin Dells hour-stops plus Mt. Olympus overflow
Schematic, not turn-by-turn. Stops 1–3 are the core; dashed Olympus is a half day if you still want wood.

How the clock actually works

Budget 30–45 minutes at the mountain coaster (waiver, one lap, photo upsell). Knuckleheads and Tom Foolery's are 15–25 minutes if you buy the single and walk past bowling. Three stops plus Dells Parkway traffic is a 2–4 hour morning. Olympus on top is another 4–6 hours in season — that is a different recipe.

Ticket ballpark for one adult, one ride each, no lodging: $19.25 + $3.50 + $6 ≈ $29 before you get cute with wristbands. All-day Need-4-Speed ($39.99) and Tom Foolery's general admission ($44.99) are how you turn a $30 loop into $100.

Stop by stop

1. Wisconsin Dells Mountain Coaster

111 County Rd A S, Baraboo · $19.25 adult tax-in · typically 11am

Same dual-track alpine energy as The Branson Coaster. Adult single lap is $19.25 tax-in; child $14.25. Three-lap adult $43 — only if you came to lap, which this clock does not. Posted Sun–Thu 11am–6pm, Fri–Sat 11am–10pm.

Buy the single lap. Gem bags, $14 ride photos, and Adventure Bundles are the trap. Military/local 10% is singles only. Must be 56" to drive. Call 608-404-3770 if the sky looks stupid. Then get back north toward the Dells.

2. Knuckleheads — indoor Roller Coaster

150 N Gasser Rd · ~$3.50 single · skip the jump park

Atlas tags this stop for one family coaster inside an 80,000 sq ft trampoline / bowling box. Official ride page: $3.50 single, 36" with chaperone, 48" solo. Need-4-Speed and Airheads wristbands are for people who wanted go-karts.

Park, buy one coaster ticket, leave. Summer ride hours often 10am–10pm; winter collapses. Do not add grip socks. 608-254-7332.

3. Tom Foolery's Adventure Park — Sky Rangers

1305 Kalahari Dr · $6 à la carte · do not buy $44.99 GA

Inside Kalahari. RCDB credit is Sky Rangers ($6/person on the individual menu). Non-resort all-day admission is $44.99 (42"+) — that is a resort afternoon, not a credit run.

Ask for the single. If they will not sell Sky Rangers without GA, skip it or eat the gate only if you already had a Kalahari day planned. Meteorace and G-Force One are $6 flats, not the RCDB row. Closed-toe shoes for some attractions; Sky Rangers is the errand.

Overflow if you still want wood

Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park

Wisconsin Dells Parkway · $40 online / $45 gate · Atlas half

Five coasters: Hades 360, Zeus, Cyclops, Pegasus, Little Titans. One price for water + theme, $40 online plus tax ($45 gate), valid through the year but outdoor coasters are roughly mid-May through mid-September. Stay-and-play packages muddy the math if you already have a room.

This is the afternoon if the hour-stops were breakfast. It is not a 20-minute grab. Extreme rides may be extra. Do not pretend you can stack Olympus after a late Baraboo open on a weekday 6pm alpine close.

What not to add

Wilderness waterpark indoor credits, Noah's Ark, and Bay Beach (Green Bay) are other trips. Three-lap alpine passes and Knuckleheads all-inclusives ($50 summer package) are how a $30 morning becomes a waterpark day without Olympus.

What this day refuses to be

Start this kind of trip in the planner

Prefills Wisconsin Dells as the hub. Love the three hour-stops you still need. Mark Mt. Olympus Neutral or Avoid unless you are adding the overflow half.
