July 26, 201411 yr comment_187697 I rode Colossus again on Tuesday. Never again! I'm about 6ft, sat on the last car on the front row (because my feet can't fit anywhere else), and I hated it. I want to like the ride though! I love how it sounds and looks, but it hurts my head so much and I can't brace myself on it. I went on Stealth twice that day at the back, and had the same problem on the decent. The twist going down the top hat is so quick my head hit the restraint! Part of me adores Intamin, but part of me doesn't. Plus their safety record isn't exactly perfect, but that doesn't really scare me much.
August 8, 201411 yr comment_188226 I, without a doubt, had my smoothest ever ride on Colossus yesterday morning! It was during morning ERT as well, so I got on the ride in like 20 seconds! Basically, my point is, if you want a smooth ride on Colossus...GO AT THE FRONT.

Basically, my point is, if you want a smooth ride on Colossus...GO AT THE FRONT. Exactly the same for me like 2 weeks ago, my friend agreed with me as well. Defiantly will be riding at the front more!
August 10, 201411 yr comment_188314 I find Colossus really bumpy, but not as bumpy as SAW. And also I find the edges of my vision go fuzzy and I feel like blacking out when I go upside down. In fact that happens whenever I go upside down on any coaster. Is that bad? I don't want to be told that I cant go on coasters because I wuv them.

If that happens to you when you go upside down you should really go see a doctor
August 10, 201411 yr comment_188407 If that happens to you when you go upside down you should really go see a doctor thankyu for the advice. Doctor would probably ban all coasters for me. No coasters. No No NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
August 10, 201411 yr comment_188416 I don't think its the upside down bit, its inversions. more specifically, where there is a high amount of g-force. I tend to get it just after the loop on Colossus. Think its due to blood pressure on somink

I first got it onthe swarm a few months ago, but then I went on other coasters and realised that it was them too. Though I do have to say that last time that I went on the swarm I didn't feel it as much, phew!

Though I do have to say that last time that I went on the swarm I didn't feel it as much, phew! Yeah I get it really badly on the swarm too
August 12, 201411 yr comment_188527 I get that on the helix on nemesis sometimes. thought it might be due to high G forces. You guys have confirmed it

August 13, 201411 yr comment_188557 The helix on namesis inferno is awesome... None of Colossus is really that intense - the two corkscrews are my favourite part though as they're not too rough. Pretty lucky I don't get like that on rides... Although they are starting to affect me more as I'm getting older - but I'm also sure the swarm and nemesis inferno are getting far more intense!!
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188563 Both Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno result in all the blood at my feet...but both still great rides!
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188607 I have blacked out a number of times on The Swarm Nemesis Nemesis Inferno not so much on Colossus though
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188608 Blacked out completely? Even I wasn't that dizzy I have blacked out a number of times on The Swarm Nemesis Nemesis Inferno not so much on Colossus though
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188611 I have blacked out a number of times on The Swarm Nemesis Nemesis Inferno not so much on Colossus though Big difference between inverts and sitdowns, bro
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188612 Blackouts from g forces require a lot of g's. You can have whiteouts easily which may be what you are calling a blackout, I would be surprised if you suffered a blackout as they mean you loose consciousness.
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188614 it feels odd like Purple dots in my vision then it stays with me for about 2mins after the ride
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188626 I wouldn't say there are not that meany g's on Colossus compared to some rides at thorpe
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188636 it feels odd like Purple dots in my vision then it stays with me for about 2mins after the ride Are you sure that wasn't on Bubbleworks? seriously though, if you think you are suffering any drop in consciousness you should get checked out by the "vet", I.e. the Doctor. Better safe.

Better safe. I agree as I said in my last post as yes it seems some people get these problems on here but the vast people don't as a roller coaster junkie I don't feel any of the stuff people get on here and tbh in IMO I would put my health always before coasters and if I every get told to stop I would I rather stop that put myself in risk
August 13, 201411 yr comment_188647 OK why the hell are we talking about health issues/problems in the Colossus topic now? Quick! Back to topic!
