this classic woodie in my opinion is the best out there and should be riden at every visit 2 six flags, excellent air time on all the dips and camelbacks, front seat at night time is a must.

This ride used to be alot better back in the day, but it's still a lot of fun to ride now. It is a bit rougher than it used to be but it doesnt beat you up the way psyclone does, which is good because you can still enjoy one nice wooden coaster at the park.

I have to say that the ride looks better back in the day. I mean, the double hop instead of the MCBR looks awesome. This ride has gone to the dump i must say. The lat's from the jerking are just plain painful. But i do love the first drop and the bunny hops at the end.
Positive:
Bunny Hops
First drop
Negative:
Lat's
roughness
Up keep of the ride itself.

Colossus is still one of my favorite woodies, though not the beast it used to be. The first and second drops still take my breath away, but after that the ride becomes a little less fun, but it is still intense enough and fun enough to make me ride it every time I go to MM.

Magic Mountain's "Colossus" is one of the best wooden coasters I've ridden. I've only ridden a handful, but this was my second favorite, other than Marine World's "Roar." The lifts are tall and the speeds are good. Also, the twin-track adds to the fun! There's not much to say about wooden coasters, but all-in-all, this was good!
Overall, a nice woodie! GRADE: B

I was 13 years old when i rode this coaster and it was my first woodie so i keep an excellent opinion on this dueling.
it would be better with 1 backward and 1 forward train IMO
