Captain’s Review

Highlights

  • Multiple inversions
  • Unique layout
  • Great soundtrack
  • Scenic location

Concerns

  • Headbanging roughness
  • Uncomfortable restraints
  • Cramped trains
  • Aging track
  • Low capacity

Colossus elicits a split reaction: many riders praise its historic status, ten inversions and the distinctive heart‑line roll finale, as well as its soundtrack and scenic placement. However, a large portion of guests find the ride increasingly rough, describing frequent head‑banging and a rattly feel. The over‑the‑shoulder restraints and cramped train design are repeatedly called uncomfortable, especially for taller riders. While some enjoy the layout when seated in the front, the overall experience is marred by aging infrastructure and limited capacity, leading to mixed overall sentiment.
