Its the only current coaster I have the issue with hence why I believe its the restraint, I've ridden other intamin coaster where they use more modern restraints that don't have those blocks on without any issue Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

For me its just that my head ends up bouncing between the 2 blocks either side of it when you at sat in the seat, remove those and the job is a gooden Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Its just as rough in the front as it is mid train and as to be expected slightly worse at the back, I like the idea of lap bar restraints, and wouldn't mind over the shoulder ones if they got rid of those pointless stone bricks either side of your head Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

All I know is that if I plan on riding Colossus I keep the paracetamol on stand by

Colossus re-paint would be nice, new seats a must...the ride is now akin to that of the corkscrew at Alton Towers prior to its removal. Having said that, it looks like they re-painted part of the heartline roll randomly, and AFAIK both Colossus and samurai haven't actually ran this year AFAIK.

At the risk of being battered here, I agree with TPJames, and would suggest that during summer nights, they could probably have a foam party or similar on Neptune's beach. I also think they should re-invent the rangers/park mascots as that alone would re-vitalize the in park entertainment just through having some fun interactive characters around. To be fair to thorpe a number of times throughout the last season they did extend opening times spontaneously and advertised it through social media on the day, I can only assume this was done as a response to on-park demand

I agree it does look like IAC but, it also doesn't make sense in that there is no where to put something that popular on considering Brainiac LIVE is in the dome and I'm not sure that the rangers county stage thing is big enough for something like this. Had the arena existed still, that would have been the perfect place for something on this scale.

I have a suspicion this will be a more futuristic approach to the laser battle type rides that are currently in place at the other Merlin parks. Something along the lines of a trackless interactive dark ride would be amusing and innovative.

A Re-theme or re-paint of the Neptune's beach area would make sense and wouldn't require planning permission. Due to the planning permission for the dark ride in 2016 I doubt anything will be done withe the Fungle Safari site as they would have submitted a planning application at the same time as that. The generic attractions currently missing from Thorpe, when looking at other Merlin parks are -family dark ride (ie: Laser Raiders - Legoland, Duel - Alton towers, Tomb blaster - CWOA) due to arrive in 2016 -Sea Life center (ie: sharkbait reef - Alton towers, Chessington Sealife center - CWOA, Atlantis Sub-marine Voyage - Legoland) no planned arrival as of yet Based on that it could also be some sort of sealife center although I would have assumed they would have needed planning permission for it.
