Colossus at Thorpe Park - POV - Front Row - 4K - 2023

[@No_idea_20906]

Colossus is such a good coaster, and I absolutely can't wait for it's retrack to be finished so it's as smooth as ever!

[@AmityAlfie]

retrack? who told you this, its a repaint

[@launches.loops.and.lapbars]

@@AmityAlfie Retrack and repaint. Last closed season some sections of the heartline rolls were replaced. No track replacement this year but there will be next year!

[@No_idea_20906]

@@AmityAlfie Yea, didn't you see that the first piece of track on the heartline roll was completely missing from the end of 2022 to mid 2023?

[@AmityAlfie]

@@No_idea_20906 retrack barely started

[@fishygodni3037]

its not the track that makes it rough its the trains & wheels

[@danielward4868]

I love how you are using the original music. I used to dislike Colossus but this year, I rode in the front row and it was surprisingly great! A very intense ride

[@joeyrobb1831]

This is a really underrated coaster

It’s kinda rough tho I guess

[@slothjohn]

Love colossus! 🎢

[@all-caps3927]

I think this coaster has been really unfairly overshadowed by the new ones, it is genuinely so much fun and you wouldn't expect it to be so. It is no where near as intense as you think it would be by looking at the videos - I would say the most intense bit are the airtime hills which are my favourite part of the ride, besides that it is super manageable and the line is themed so well. Currently my 4th favourite ride at the park behind Hyperia, Stealth and Swarm.

[@nookstarj]

The back to back corkscrews then the reverse corkscrew at the end for good measure! Unique ride. Best experienced on the front row so you can see right down the corkscrews. 😂 I'll be back again in 2024 for more enjoyment.

[@theme.park.lewis0586]

If it weren't so rough it would be one of my favourite coasters😢

[@gemmaholley6017]

The last couple of seasons its been fine on the front row , Can't speak for the back as always felt like torture. Worth the wait for front.

[@all-caps3927]

I don't know why but recently it's been so much smoother than usual, especially at the front. I rode it yesterday in cart 1 and It was genuinely smoother than Nemesis and Saw - obviously not as smooth as Swarm or Hyperia but very impressive for its age.

[@theludixblaster]

@@all-caps3927 i went on it this week was horrible my head was all over the place very uncomfortable!

@@all-caps3927 was near back, been on it before it past and it felt alot better. i know you have to keep head back in seat but i couldn't as ride was so rough

[@GerstlauianLoops]

Thorpe Park/Merlin Entertainments I love that you are giving Colossus the TLC it needs with the Sparkle Project. But please, PLEASE give Colossus what it actually desperately needs, some new trains. They don’t need to be like the ones on Sik, just something to improve accommodations for larger riders and general rider comfort.

[@aidanstead7272]

Even if the trains were the same as Stealth's it would probably be better

[@EverestBlizzard]

Agreed 100%, it's stopped me going on it a couple times because of the pain, even if I slimmed right down it would still hurt my thighs a lot because of my height

[@chrisogrady28]

Worst trains in the country, and that's saying something as we have way too many unnecessarily lap-barred coasters. I'm 6ft3, sat back row and had no room for feet or knees, balls crashed by stupid seat bump, shoulders bruised, had to ride defensively the whole time, awful.

[@all-caps3927]

I think they have modified carts at the back for bigger people if I heard correctly on the speaker. I'm 6'1 and I really struggled at the front, but if you place your knees correctly early on so that they don't bang it can still be more comfortable than SAW

[@iMizzy777]

Underrated coaster

[@connorpendlebury3931]

Can’t wait for that Hyperia view. 😎😎😎

[@Big_Eye_HEA]

Was my first rollercoaster Thorpe park I was the scared of NOTHING (except the queues for the swarm )

[@funnyboy8647]

Colossus Is one of my all time favourite roller coaster because it has ten inversions. first a Vertical loop, then air time, then you go into the cobra roll, Then two corkscrews, then my favourite part where you do four heartline rolls, and then a heartline roll but the opposite to finish

[@steruss9481]

I absolutely love the four in a row heartline twists, particularly from the front row, it's like going through the barrel of a gun.

[@simonm7133]

This coaster has been around for over twenty years. I went with my son's primary school as a supervising parent and one of the teachers persuaded me to 'give it a go' as I was not a big rollercoaster fan.

[@Harry-hk1el]

In DIRE need of new trains though honestly.. amazing ride but too rough and uncomfortable. Not suitable if you're over the 6ft mark and want to be comfortable. I think as well as retracking they should invest in new trains to make the experience more comfortable

[@Harry-hk1el]

I said comfortable a lot... 😮

[@Harry-hk1el]

Almost felt uncomfortable reading it aloud.

[@jessedewijs4402]

Completely agree here. Went to thorpe first time this week. I am 189 cm (6,2 feet) and regularly build. The harnass left me bruised on the upper chest and shoulders. Never had this issue with any other coasters before. The max length listed is 195 cm but I really cannot believe anyone that tall can even fit in it. It was the only coaster I only rode once that day for this reason as well.

[@zuzannastasiak196]

[@TheBenPicko]

The biggest issue with Colossus is the trains

[@coaster_chloe_alt_2]

My personal opinion: Such an underrated ride the part upside down three times is better than i expected and not scary. i counted ten times when i watched the pov before hand and it doesn’t feel like it at all. its a good ride overall. just a bit jolty

[@EverestBlizzard]

This ride is a lot of fun, sadly its such a hard ride for me, not because of roughness but the train/restraint design! Im 6ft2 and quite big so getting on and off is a nightmare and the restraints are hell on my thighs! Would be nice to see them replace them as part of sparkle but thats wishful thinking lol

[@InfiniteFury2K]

>None of Intamin's lift hill release sound is heard LEMME HEAR IT, DAMN YOU 😂 Seriously though, I can't wait to give this another try when the new season comes along with the new repaint and stuff! Give this iconic ride Sik's trains too, while you're at it!

[@charlie1701]

NO WE DO NOT

[@3brenm]

Not with those 5 slow corkscrews thanks

[@chrisogrady28]

My god the GP in the replies don't know what they are talking about. Yes it 100% Needs lap bars and more open trains like Sik at flamingo land (Which is the same coaster model, same layout, but it's taller, much faster, and has lap bars)

[@chrisogrady28]

@@3brenm There are only 2 corkscrews, you mean the heartline rolls, and with lap bars you actually get enjoyable hangtime which makes this stupid repetitive element actually enjoyable, rather than just a shoulder bruiser

[@thellamaking7248]

It honestly needs the Sik Lap bar trains more than an actual retrack those bulky restraints are horrid and no chance for big or tall people trying to fit in them

please do a media day where youtubers can come and get there own gopro video's of hyperia. its sad that merlin dont allow any gopro's. most american parks only require you to have it checked and signed off and then you can use it. they use a break away sticker over the buckle so if you ever take it off after being checked the ride opperators will know because the sticker will be broken. its such a good system and merlin should use it.
