March 30, 200916 yr comment_50874 2 hours I waited today, probably the longest queue in the park throughout the day. Still worthit though
March 30, 200916 yr comment_50877 I have only been on Colossus twice but I have never found it as rough as people make out
March 31, 200916 yr comment_50954 The anti-rollback device ratchet noise must be everyone's favourite. Sounds painful if you ever caught your finger in it.
April 6, 200916 yr comment_51498 I know this sounds like a strange question, but I heard that the please stand clear announcement (the usual 2006 one) was not playing. I was just wondering weither anyone who has been to THORPE PARK recently if they have heard it?!Thanks!
April 6, 200916 yr comment_51501 It's been off since the start of March, don't know whats happened to it and its quite likely it wasn't intentionally removed.
April 6, 200916 yr comment_51502 It's been off since the start of March, don't know whats happened to it and its quite likely it wasn't intentionally removed.Does anyone know anybody who works at THORPE PARK, especially Colossus that could report this as I miss it!
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51521 The truth is, they really don't care. It's just an announcement and it's not an important aspect. It's really fanboy-ish - my mates just knowing that I know so much about theme parks and rides is shocking enough.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51522 I think it gets the atmosphere going before the ride starts thats why I like it!
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51533 It's been off since the start of March, don't know whats happened to it and its quite likely it wasn't intentionally removed.I haven't heard that this year so far. Thank god they ditched the new "Tony Blair" announcement that was short-lived.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51537 I have only been on Colossus twice but I have never found it as rough as people make outI will mention it againam I the only one who thinks this.I also love the start announcement and want it back!
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51538 I think the roughness depends on where you sit, I have found that sitting at the front of the car (not the train but the front of the train also works), the roughest bit is the Combra Roll IMO.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51540 I will mention it againam I the only one who thinks this.I also love the start announcement and want it back!I'm sure it will come back at some point. Yes, it gives me goose pimples too.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51561 I will mention it againam I the only one who thinks this.I also love the start announcement and want it back!I want it back too but as Theme Park Bloke said it is sure to come back. I didnt like the 2007 announcement.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51564 Oh well it will be good to hear it again when it is back fingers crossed.
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51567 Well I mean... it's Thorpe Park, its been broken for 2 months, what does that tell us really?
April 7, 200916 yr comment_51576 my shoulder is still killing me from monday, the back is more painful on the barrel rolls IMO
April 8, 200916 yr comment_51602 Waited 2 hours for this yesterday and enhjoyed it like ive never enjoyed it before !
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52175 Went On This for the first time on the 29th march,qued for about half an hour and sat in the 2nd row of the 3rd car,I didn't find it to rough but my shoulders ached a bit from the rolls.Great Ride Though!And Yay! the waterfall thing in the cobra roll pit is fixeddd!
April 12, 200916 yr comment_52189 I find sitting at the front of trains the most smooth. I noticed it hasn't got a big bars. But I can't stand anywaywhere else for the headbanging.
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52208 I just find Colossus to be a ride that if the queue is short I will ride it but if it has a long queue I won't queue it because I am at that hight I have a headache when I come off it. I love the ride and loops though just not the head banging!
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52277 I like Colossus but I'm not getting as bigger thrill out of it as I used to, but saying that after queueing an hour and a half for it boy does it make it feel like such a good ride
April 13, 200916 yr comment_52283 I don't find it bumpy at all, wherever I sit. The only problem I have with it is that it seems very unreliable. A few weeks ago I queued about 1 hour 45 mins for it. I was next in line with my mate to go on then it broke down for 30-45 mins They didn't even give us exit passes, just made us wait there for what seemed like FOREVER; probably becuase my mate was German so we didn't even talk - it was quite awkard (sp?)
