Enjoy a dizzy ride on Colossus at Thorpe Park (filmed in 2003). This was the first coaster to feature 10 inversions.

That great to read - I would recommend sitting nearer the front as generally that offers a smoother ride than the back

They're really not as fun as they look. Round and round and round, without any speed. The first half of the ride is ok, but the coaster isn't as good as what else is on offer at Thorpe.

Paige Allport The front seats appear to be the only smooth-ish seats on the coaster these days. Interestingly I discovered some old VHS footage of the very first Colossus train that rode with people on - two engineers from Intamin when they were testing it - will get that uploaded so viewers can see how slow it was when first tested!

I definitely agree it was rough as I was in the back area

Pretty easy to see where you had the camera to get that first shot of the 'tunnel' too. These old videos are great, why were you hiding this one from 2003? haha.
@davidjellis
@davidjellis 10 жыл бұрын
The inline twists were filmed standing on the top of that building you can see...but you cannot get that exact shot now as you cannot access the top of that building any more, so it's impossible to be on the same elevation as the twists. There is an identical ride in China but it was closed when we visited last year...on that one you CAN still get that shot, if the ride was working.

SHOCKING FACT: Colossus’s actual subcontractor was Giovanola. The main manufacturer, Intamin, worked with various subcontractors such as Schwarzkopf and Waagner-Biro, but the most notable of them was Giovanola. Giovanola helped Intamin design Monte Makaya at Rio de Janerio’s Terra Encantada, and Monte Makaya was the first of its kind. Even though Colossus is less taller and faster than Monte Makaya, Colossus has 2 more inversions than Monte Makaya. Look up RCDB for more info.
@davidjellis
@davidjellis 3 жыл бұрын
Bolliger and Mabillard of B&M fame both worked for Giovanola back in the days when they contracted for Intamin - and many of the rides of Intamin and Schwarzkopf were actually designed by the same man, Werrner Stengel - who designed Colossus...in fact he has designed over 400 coasters!
@davidjellis
@davidjellis 3 жыл бұрын
Giovanola were certainly the sub contractor on Monte Makaya...but they are not credited on RCDB re Colossus...and the engineers who were there when testing Colossus were definitely from Intamin...as we were there when they first rode it.

Surely one of the greatest rollers of all time.... the corkscrew just goes on and on and on.... and the rest of the ride is seriously big, fast and scary. Remember going to Thorpe Park a couple of times in the last decade and while they had new attractions like 'SAW' (vertical drop) and 'STEALTH' - super-fast vertical up and down.... STEALTH was shit scary but lasted a few seconds, once you've done it there's nothing else, just acceleration and deceleration (and height) but only for a fraction of time - 5 seconds, if that. Worth experiencing, but not repeating. Went back for another one - and then another again - on COLOSSUS. That's a proper, fast, long-lasting monster of a ride with a lot of different experiences to it. A classic.

For the UK it's a good quality ride...it's well down the list in international terms (in my opinion) as the ride is generally quite rough - I DO like the front seat visuals through those corkscrews though. The version of this in Italy (almost identical) is much smoother and a better coaster I feel.

I find it interesting to see the metal bars and that in place, to do with people being able to get their legs out, so it was the quickest way to fix it and keep it running until new restraints were fitted in the winter, but out of curiosity how did boarding and the overall ride feel different with the original overhead restraints or with the metal bars, as im guessing the restraints were smaller and used to allow people to get across the rows more easily when boarding?

I know it's not always as easy as installing new trains but surely TP need to address how horribly shaky and rough this ride has got. It's really hard to enjoy it anymore, even at the front there's a fair bit of headbanging.

James just keep your head back, that may reduce the headbanging a bit, but this ride could use some altair or intimidator 305 restraints.

There's a roller coaster in China and in Brazil with exactly the same trajectory, the only difference that in Brazil was the first made of this kinda of roller coaster by this company, and had only 8 inversions. Tha amusement park where this one is, is closed nowadays.

I think I know what you mean...in that I assume that you are referring to some of the newer ride concepts such as looping wooden coasters, etc, however I wouldn't necessarily say a coaster with 10 inversions is tame. What kind of thing are you comparing it to, out of curiosity?
