planenut Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Well, it spent 2 hours with a full train stuck on the lift hill yesterday, maybe not running so great after all haha.... I too was at TP on Monday, giving my favourite ride Stealth a thorough testing, and it was much to the merriment of the ride ops. there, to keep pointing out that Colossus was still stuck on the lift hill, and the crew all harnessed up were having to get people off. I had toyed with the idea of having a trip on Colossus, but glad to say I stayed Stealthy all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 on a non-technical point... Colossus was stopped for around 25-30 mins today, due to someone being sick (was stood outside the station so couldn't actually see), but could see staff with (mouth) masks on (not sure what they're called haha), and they even got the fire hose from the exit out, presumably to wash it down! must have been bad, to take almost half hour to sort out; they said on the announcement it was more than usual... a lot!

Matt 236 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Went on Colossus yesterday and the ride was surprisingly smooth and came off without a headache and this wasn't within the front row. I don't know whether its just the second train (which I think was replaced or heavily refurbished this year) or the ride is getting smoother.

adstratt Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Went on Colossus on Thursday for the first time and was amused at the fact the whole queue line needed to know that the gates were about to close and the ride was about to begin, from every speaker and on every dispatch. Has it always done this? Not a gripe, just found it mildly amusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkadder312 Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 It's been like that for a couple seasons now, I know it's annoying listening to it in the queue line would rather listen to ambiance/normal theme. pluk, Inferno and Coaster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post EC!

Coaster Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 That's amazing! Surely it's blocked off so noone can kick it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 It's located on the smaller side of the beach, which I think is totally blocked off at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 That is an impressive structure the park have done, it did look very impressive in person when I saw it today. Meanwhile, found out train 1 is the refurbished 2013 unit as it has different looking wheels on some of the carriages plus feels noticeably smoother whilst train 2 felt more bumpy and at times, a bit painful during my rides on Colossus today.

Tom Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's closer to the ground than the others so gravity would suggest that that is the case! Gggggggg and Dan9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Really enjoyed Colossus on Sunday. First of all in the morning they were running two trains. Which must have been the first time this year I've seen it running 2 trains in the morning . Next, I rode it twice and both times I found it incredibly smooth, even my friends agreed with me! Maybe they have done some work on one of the trains because it wasn't was on 2 trains the while day 2 weeks before. Anyway I also noticed that in the que line they were playing this song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEC4TZsy-Y Anyone know why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last ride on it last year was downright painful... and I'm not usually fussy about a bit of headbanging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
