Posted August 3, 200817 yr comment_30335 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.
August 4, 200817 yr Author comment_30355 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!
August 4, 200817 yr comment_30363 It may be the power of ten, but it isn't exactly smooth. Sometimes I even avoid it because it can get so rough..
August 4, 200817 yr comment_30364 I don't actually find Colossus uncomfortable, I guess thats because I'm only very slightly most certainly odd
August 6, 200817 yr comment_30513 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.
August 7, 200817 yr comment_30522 By the looks of it, it was geting dirty, its been turned off so it can be cleaned and not all block up agian

September 13, 200816 yr comment_32608 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
September 13, 200816 yr comment_32618 The medusa thing sort of looks like my mum in the morning! *Joking Mum*
September 13, 200816 yr comment_32620 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
October 28, 200816 yr comment_37620 Can we get Colossus some new trains, please! Would sort out roughness, and the awkwardness that is loading.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37659 And maybe make these trains have the sexy newer style Intamin restraints without the metal plates on the floor?Woop.
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37660 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
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37683 My last go on Colossus was actually amazing, 3 from back, train 2, was smooth as anything and loved it!
October 29, 200816 yr comment_37684 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.
October 30, 200816 yr comment_37746 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
November 3, 200816 yr comment_38183 I hate Colossus in any other row than the front, but when I'm in the front, it is actually a very good ride!
November 25, 200816 yr comment_40108 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!
