September 10, 201410 yr comment_191521 I will link a video of them doing this Where's the video I'm in so much excitement I need something thrilling to watch before Battle of Five armies
October 7, 201410 yr comment_194055 Looks like RMC and SF were having fun with the pre lift sequence, very bumpy haha
October 7, 201410 yr comment_194064 Its better then the very long straight piece of wooden track used on Colossus like before...
November 26, 201410 yr comment_197987 Trains for twisted Colossus revealed! Plus Six flags have confirmed that the area will be steampunk themed to go with the trains and the ride as well. Also supposedly they are repainting Scream so it fits more into the steampunk vibe which should be interesting...
November 26, 201410 yr comment_198003 Yes, unashamedly so. Ah, well maybe they will find time to paint over the white lines if they repaint the ride
November 26, 201410 yr comment_198009 Scream is actually a pretty good Floorless coaster. Definitely agree about the new trains, they would look better as they were, and stuck on a gerstlaurer Bobsled, or similar.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_198038 The trains look loverly The track colours looks lush. Not sure about that strange banked bit of track though, doesn't really look right tbh.
November 26, 201410 yr comment_198049 The trains I understand and the theme is cool but the track colours are just odd and dont fit the theme at all. Also the fact that such a cool theme idea wont be done to the standard it requires is a little dissapointing. Oh air how I wish you were steam punk.

Magic Mountain is hardly renowned for its theming quality. Whatever they do with twisted Colossus, it will be window dressing more then a coherent storyline. Expect the ride to do the talking and not a vibe.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_198079 I am aware of this. It would be nice if they did spend a bit more on themeing from time to time. Especially if that theme is steam punk. I would prefer all out themeing or none and I feel this would suit none better than what it is going to get. The lack of effort ruins the ride somewhat, when they should have just spent the money on making it generic like cedar fair parks.
November 27, 201410 yr comment_198080 It is pretty much generic though, styled with some gladitorial-esque look... Kinda the level expected from a Six Flags park... Style over substance...

Any theming Six Flags add is more effort then usual.
December 12, 201410 yr comment_198957 Is that structure really finished? Looks like you could just push it over
December 22, 201410 yr comment_199436 Both of Twisted Colossus's 128ft drops are now finished!! Looks amazing I think
February 3, 201510 yr comment_202041 Scream! is getting a repaint to Blue Track and Corange supports! And on the note of Twisted Colossus... The blue to green transistion before the second lift hil has started going up!
February 3, 201510 yr comment_202077 Six flags recognise the importance to keep their rides covered in a good coat of paint to prevent rusting. More expensive short term but will get a few more years out of the rides in the long term. Where as merlin only seem to focus on short term costs. I'm still not convinced on the RMC treatment but this ride does look good.
February 3, 201510 yr comment_202087 Oblivion was repainted to make the 'new' area for The Smiler look fresh. Scream is being repainted to make the 'new' area for Twisted Colossus look fresh. Yeah Six Flags truly know how to maintain their rides.
