Utah Olympic Park — Attraction in Four Corners States

These three stars are for us figuring out on our own that we could ask for a ride up and down the hill to get to our part of the olympic park, the two younger staff members who were friendly, helpful, and understanding, along with the opportunity this park provides for great and exciting ride experience. If it weren’t for a couple of concerns we ran into towards the end of our time there, I would have given five stars. The company we work for paid for us to have a pass to the tubing, zip lines, alpine slide, and discover adventure course. We started on the smaller zip line which the younger staff were running efficiently. They had both lines open, which allowed for us to ride at the same time. When we got to the bigger zip line, only one lane was open even though there were multiple staff available. We waited quite a long time for this, which would have been fine had we known we wouldn’t be able to do another ride two minutes after our park time ended. The family in front of us was also become upset at the wait time, to which his wife left the line to question what was going on. We also were clueless in terms of waiting to eat in the cafe until after this time. We walked up to eat which took an hour. If we had known that we could be driven up instead of walking, we would have made it back in time to do another ride. Also, if the wait time in the cafe was more efficient we could have been back out on another ride. If the different options were explained to us when checking in we also would have known that we could ask for rides. My advice, visit the park on the early shift, not the late afternoon shift. Ask for rides when you need them and don’t waste time eating in their cafe until after you’ve finished with your park experience. It was a fun time and my first time zip lining ever in my life, which I thank the park for that. But, if we would have kept going on the rides, we still wouldn’t have had enough time to do tubing, adventure course, and the alpine slide. We went back to do another ride after our time walking to the cafe and we arrived to the lift at 3:02pm. The younger gentleman did wonderful listening to our concerns; however, the older lady was rather blunt and wouldn’t say anything other then your time ended at 3pm. We explained we thought it was 3:30pm and that we didn’t know we could get a ride, along with the fact that it was only 3:02pm and we would be happy with one more ride. She didn’t care. The younger gentleman expressed that we weren’t the only ones who thought it was 3:30pm ending time and not 3pm. This gave us the impression that customers who visit this park often become confused about the process of everything. You’ll have a great time as long as you keep riding and do not take time to stop and have a drink of water. But, I highly doubt there is any way to do all the activities provided in the pass, even during less busy park times. Tons of people started showing up at 3:10pm for the next time slot and I’m not sure how they will keep up with that work load. Don’t stop and look at museum items either (which we didn’t). I’m just mentioning this because if you do then you won’t have time to experience your rides. They do have a board in the front that tells you predicted wait times, but the fact that we only had time for two rides from 1230pm to 3pm just shows that you can learn from our mistakes and the parks mistakes, so at least you can have a better time when visiting this park. Good luck to those visiting the park today on the later shift. Also, don’t spend less then a minute per picture to capture...

Purchased the Gold Pass Session for a morning session while visiting Salt Lake City. It was only about a 40 minute drive from downtown Salt Lake. The Gold Pass gives you 3.5 hours of unlimited rides during the morning block or afternoon block. I liked the limited number of tickets for each block to reduce the crowds. This was very helpful as didn't wait more than 10-15 mins for any ride and many rides didn't have any line at all. I opted for the morning block of 9:30-1:00p to beat the heat since the afternoon block was from 2:00-5:30p. In addition, I also purchased the Bobsled Experience since it is not included.

All the rides were extremely safe and appropriate for the ages they required. The ziplines were the ones where you wear a seated harness and not the free-hanging ones with the exception of the short freestyle zip and small zip to the Drop Tower. Of all the Gold Pass rides, my favorites were the Extreme Tubing and Alpine Slide. On the Extreme Tubing, you have to take the ski lift about half way up, then a small hike to the start where they provide you a helmet. In order to ride the larger K90, you must ride the smaller K64 tube where they'll mark your wristband. Although the K90 looks much larger, the ride is basically the same. On the Alpine Slide, I initially thought it was a kiddie ride, but it was pretty fun for any age. These rides are all on one side of the park.

The other side of the park consist of the Canyon Course (lower rope course), Summit Course (higher rope course), Airbag jump, and Drop Tower. These experiences were fun, but not nearly as much adrenaline as the other side of the park. They're much more slower paced and suited for those who don't like speeds.

Lastly, my overall favorite as the Bobsled Experience. This was separate from the Gold Pass experience, but was definitely worth it. You ride with a trained driver as you hit speeds around 70mph. At those speeds, you'll feel your head whip around on the corners. You'll be amazed and thrilled as you hit those corners at those speeds. It lasts less than a minute, but it's due to the speeds. There's many left and right hard corners you'll experience.

Olympic Park is is must do if you're in the Salt Lake City area. It is appropriate for all ages as there's different rides for everyone. The 3.5 hours for the Gold Pass does go by fast if you ride every ride, so do your...
