rossafc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 The best bit is the barrel rolls - especially if you don't hold on. You rise out of your seat every time they are good but on the last one I always hit my hand on a branch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aarron P Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Does anyone know why Colossus opened at 2:45 today. I saw the train stuck on the lift hill but is that what happenend or was it like that so they could check the station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James6 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would guess it was to do with the torrential rain earlier , Colossus can't run in the cold and maybe it hadn't warmed up enough or something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordcutter6 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 It must of broken down during its test run in morning, it opened at 2-3 though, que was 70 mins at peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobF Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Colossus was undergoing essential maintance this morning, which is why she opened late. The train that was on the lift was 'parked' there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James6 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am guessing it means , purposely stopped there, so it wasn't there by accident or because of a breakdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake C Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I thought it got stuck in tests thats what one of the ops said, this was because of the thunder storms this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Colossus keeps cutting out thats is why train two was stuck on the lift earlier it wasnt for essential maintence its just that at the moment it keeps getting stuck on the lify hill all the time Seeing as Rob does work there..........
