Altitude Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 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.

Exactly the same for me like 2 weeks ago, my friend agreed with me as well. Defiantly will be riding at the front more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens to you when you go upside down you should really go see a doctor Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c1hrisin Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteknuckle Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I get that on the helix on nemesis sometimes. thought it might be due to high G forces. You guys have confirmed it c1hrisin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFarmerDean Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 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!!

Project LC Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 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.

planenut Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
