REMEMBER THIS⁉️ Long before Mt. Olympus, the Dells was home to another popular park called FAMILYLAND 🎡

Familyland opened IN 1972 as an amusement park and, in the 1980s, transformed into a water park.

An INDOOR water park — Treasure Island — was later built where the park’s original amusement rides (which included THREE coasters) once stood.

In 2004, Familyland & Treasure Island were purchased by Mt. Olympus — which initially kept many of their rides. However, sometime between 2017 and 2022, most of the original water attractions were removed — leaving the "Tidal Wave" (wavepool) as the only relic of Familyland ❤️
