Adam J Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Colossus, an intamin mega loop ride was opened in 2002 and as the world first, and at the time only 10 looping coaster. Discuss the ride here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam J Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It's a great ride it is one of my favourite rides at the park. Its one of mine to, mind you I do think its a bit rough if you sit at the back though other than that its fantastic! GeorgeB17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCon Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It may be the power of ten, but it isn't exactly smooth. Sometimes I even avoid it because it can get so rough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I don't actually find Colossus uncomfortable, I guess thats because I'm only very slightly most certainly odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 It is a little big rough but I dont care if a ride is rough or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah, the netting's bearable but the cobra roll does feel a bit overcrowded it's been added there. The cobra roll's the worst area for "net looks" IMO.Last month I went on the 5th and 27th. On the 5th Colossus was closed because they were still doing the nets. You could walk upto to the shop and no further, that's where it was blocked off from. The cobra roll pit was empty then. This was before the nets were added here. Same story with cobra roll pit on the 27th, when Colossus was back open and the nets had all been put up.Like I say, it was perfect at the start of the season, but it must've lasted until about early May before it went dry again.

AltonThorpe Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 That medusa/posiedon face thingy at the bottom of the cobra of Colossus is scary, just like the duck at alton towers while on the flume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Sack Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 The medusa thing sort of looks like my mum in the morning! *Joking Mum* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack The Sack Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Has anyone had the moment when they thought they were gonna get their head chopped off on Colosuss, when you go over the small airtime hill and dive under the shop? I love the fact that you can sort of touch the grass when you go through the last zero-g roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Can we get Colossus some new trains, please! Would sort out roughness, and the awkwardness that is loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 And maybe make these trains have the sexy newer style Intamin restraints without the metal plates on the floor?Woop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 well just noticed on sunday that the front shoulder bars are a bit smaller the the ones before. Really hurt my head anywhere but the front, makes it un-enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCharlie Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Not to mention the lack of legroom, argh it hurts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 My last go on Colossus was actually amazing, 3 from back, train 2, was smooth as anything and loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyciodes Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I love riding Colossus in the back seats. Being dragged off the top of the lift hill is great! Don't get too bothered by the head banging. Just keep your head back againts the head rest. pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexh Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its a bit rough but great to ride at night, I love the noise of the ride coming off the lift hill, especially when you're right above it in the back seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I hate Colossus in any other row than the front, but when I'm in the front, it is actually a very good ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme Park bloke Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Can we get Colossus some new trains, please! Would sort out roughness, and the awkwardness that is loading.No we cannot. And new trains is not going to sort out the roughness. Don't forget each train has a new set of wheels for every season, and at the beginning of the seasons, the ride is still rough!Not to mention the lack of legroom, argh it hurts.Yes, as my mate with size 15 once found out!Being dragged off the top of the lift hill is great!Being dragged off the top of any lift hill is great! I must ride Nemesis at the back when I go back in February! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
