When it opened in 2005, the coaster was known as Hades; it was renamed in 2013 when the 360 degree roll was installed.

Hades 360 is a rarity among wooden roller coasters due to its 360 degree roll, 110-degree over banked turn,[1] and steep 65-degree drop as well as its 90-degree banked turn, as drops and angles this steep are generally not included on wooden roller coasters due to structural limitations.

[1] In 2013, the park had The Gravity Group add a 360-degree corkscrew at 32 feet (9.8 m) in place of the second hill, as well as an overbanked turn.

In its debut year in 2005, Hades 360 was voted "Best New Ride" by Amusement Today magazine.

In every year except 2020, the ride has also been ranked among the top 50 wooden roller coasters in the Golden Ticket Awards.
