Fireworks Burst Behind the Rise of Icarus at Mt. Olympus
Taken July 2024
The Rise of Icarus opened in June 2024 at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, billed as the tallest waterslide in the United States at 145 feet. Riders climb the tower's stairs before dropping through its enclosed slide, which winds around the structure's central frame. Mt. Olympus has staged Fourth of July fireworks over its riverside grounds for years, drawing crowds along the Wisconsin Dells strip. In 2024, the park kept its Independence Day show on schedule even as weather forced postponements at other area resorts.
