Monte Olympus Water and Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, is offering park-goers The Rise of Icarus.

The mega waterslide, named after a character from Greek mythology, is currently open.

It contains five slides, one of which is a jaw-droppingly high 145 feet.

A 12,000-square-foot children’s play area is on the way, making it a destination for the entire family.

WHO IS ICARUS?

Icarus is a character from Greek mythology whose wings burned when he got too close to the sun.

The metaphor is apt for the tallest waterslide in the US.

In addition to the slides, the Mt. Olympus Water and Theme Park is receiving even more news.

There is now a VIP cabana area, fully equipped with air conditioning.

The park is also expanding deck space to have more room to relax.

There will also be a bar and concessions served in the area.
