Readers' Opinions
A good woodie. Might be old but it gets the job done... My only complaint is the stupid block brakes that were added in 1990, they were added so they could run 3 trains on each side instead of 2, and the next year they began only running one side and by 1998 they were only using 2 trains again, due to low popularity!!!!! All Im asking is take them out, itll make the ride experience better and will bring more people to it! But as I said before it gets the job done, and only has one bad thing about it, 7/10... - Mateo sams This might be strange but Colossus is one of my favorite rides at Magic Mountain. You get a lot more air time than on other rides. It might be a little rough and bumpy, but i luv it! and there is usually not a line for it. - Timothy Berg good old coaster very bumpy but is still very fun to ride 6/10 - Michael Brunson One of the older rides that still inhabits SFMM,(And was once considered the tallest in the world upon its completion) so old that I wouldn't be surprised if they tear it down sometime in the near future (Which seems to be the running trend in some theme parks these days). It's basically your classic wooden roller coaster with your classic drops, twists, and turns. Nothing too extordinary about it, but carries a ride worthy value to it alone on the simple premise that it is one of the few coasters remainng in the park from back in SFMM's earlier days. If you're into classic coasters, and don't mind nearly shattering your pelvic region, then this is definantly worth your time. - Steph Ramos This ride is very boring now. It used to be awesome, but they slowed it down too much. - Sarah Meeks It beats the crud outa GhostRider at Knott's. It is a good warm-up ride, along with revolution. nice airtime. 7/10 - Corey Nelson Its defiantly and old ride, but its one of the classics so you have to ride it lol Just a tip for ladies: near one part of the ride it tend to jerk you in the wrong way, causing some discomfort in the upper area(happened to me and my female friend)lol - Kitty Kat Cool to ride at night. The ride throws you around a bit, but it is surely better than Psyclone. Ride at night, when the colors light it up. - John Quinteros my dad went on this ride when he was like 10 and now hes 35 they should take this ride down and make a modernized ride. - mark lunod 7/10 My mom has good childhood memories from this. It was one of my first "big" roller coasters. It has it's fair share of drops but no setting. - Jack Borgeson Whenever I go on this, I always think differently. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. - Sam Collier Colossus is a better ride than Ghostrider at Knott's. It is not as bumby and you can see the area around Colossus. During Halloween one side runs forward and the other side runs backwards. The backwards train back is now the front. The ride was interesting. You had no idea where you were. When going down a hill it felt like my eyes were shut. The ride also felt longer than the forward train. On the bad side it was rough going backwards. I don't think the track was designed for. - Erik Cobbs I expect they will mothball this coaster soon. It is a brutal and banging ride. It hurts. I have never seen the duel coasters going and I was there on Memorial Day, the busiest day of the year. It is good for a wooden roller coaster and if you want the old time feel, it is worth a ride. - Guido Climer This is the best wooden roller coaster ive ever ridden. Period - Geordie Bain This is just plain HORRIBLE! The whole time I had to plug my ears because it was so loud. I had to sit up as far as possible because the ride is so rough the seat will vibrate against your back. The worst part about this ride is that it never ends! - David White
