I used to be an operator on this ride and it makes me so happy when people notice how hard our crew is working!! ((the last seat is DEFINITELY the best place to sit))

[@janinel8573]

Jessica Labonog I sat on the very back and it was frickin awesome

[@brett4579]

back is the best feels like your gonna fall off and die

[@revistytrains]

I like the front

[@GuadalupePicasso]

I was there today, and they didn’t seem to be trying to make them race, but there were also only 2 trains, and I feel like that makes it even more difficult to properly sync.

[@IMWBMEGJCC]

Haven’t ridden the bakc but the front was already amazing

[@stevenschiro1838]

Also, had a trip to bring my lil cousin here to go on his first real roller coasters. Waiting in line for this ride --- "Wait, you said it would go upside-down. It's a wooden coaster, it can't go upside-down", "Yeah it does", "No it doesn't".... "Okay then" Get off the ride, "CAN WE GO AGAIN!"

[@stevenschiro1838]

This is one of my top rides. I live in the bay area and I will drive 4 hours to go on this. The back seat is definitely the best, because you fly down the first drop and get so much airtime. One of the most fun rides I've ever been on. Plus if you are going to wait 2 hours to go on a coaster, this is the best bang for your buck.

[@evandouglas2367]

This was my 16th credit and I will never forget the insanely intense airtime of the back seat of this monster. Let me add that there isn’t ANYTHING to hold on to and that just adds to the INSANITY of it! Best roller coaster I’ve ridden by FAR. I can’t express how amazing this ride is!

[@InTheMist03200]

By far, my favorite roller coaster. Even those not-so-little bumps in the beginning are super fun and always get me smiling! It's hard to imagine a better experience!

[@aliciacleeland1624]

Shoot,I think you were there at the same time I was as the ride operator was so generous to race all the trains, We had two duals in one ride! the best parts probably have to be the racing,High five banks and Top gun stall!!! this is my second favorite ride!

[@nathanhavens1020]

I have ridden this a lot, and have raced a lot, but only one time has it been perfect. For the entire ride, well, for the green side it was only half the time cuz it goes twice. For the whole blue side, we were waving an laughing at each other the whole time. It was awesome! On the cork screw with the crazy hangtime we were looking up at them and laughing at them.

[@DailyMohsin]

I rode this about a week ago with my friend on the ride before us, and WE RACED! I have a video of it on my own channel, even though you cant really see the race as well. But that did make it so much more fun, especially given the fact that I was unaware that we would be racing. Seeing the previous videos, i thought there were going to be two separate stations, and there wasnt only 1 station, but we got to go around it twice! Probably the funnest ride in that part with the exception of maybe Tatsu.

[@TurboJUK]

My very first Six Flags ride, let me tell you I was not prepared for how incredible it was. It’s one of the only roller coasters where I came off trembling with excitement.

[@joejan246]

Rode it for the 1st time a couple weeks ago, front and back, airtime over the first drop and the first big hill before the high five is unbelievable, just look at people's faces when the enter the station. Crew operations were very impressive.

[@brandonmgs]

in my opinion this is the greatest rmc

[@davidsilva4509]

this makes me really want to ride it..

[@k1ngxrandom]

Favorite coaster ever!!!!! My son and I rode it 4 times in a row!!! We also have our house decorated steampunk!

[@castercrazycaleb364]

Another cool thing about this coaster is that even if the line is all the way at the end of the station, it moves quick.

[@brycefourn2001]

Awesome review of Twisted Colossus! It does look like one of the best RMCs out there and probably the most fun :)

[@brycefourn2001]

The current best RMC in my opinion is Wildfire. It used to be Goliath but it got changed

[@a_cowwithlegs]

I’ve ridden 20-40 coasters #1 right here Glossy smooth Crazy Airtime Also hangtime And racing puts this ride at -2

[@mlbtheshowcollector]

My fav RMC I've ridden

[@WagnerBros]

Wow I didn't know that it raced that much. Also, excited for the ameican Thunder

[@snazzycoastermemes6798]

this is my second favorite at six flags magic mountain and second favorite i have ridden. the reason i like tatsu more is because i absolutly love B&M flyers

[@Zrj19]

I just rode it yesterday, I got a race both times and the back seat. AMAZING!!!!!!

[@SchrodingersCat8813]

This seems to be lower ranked/regarded on the list of RMCs but I thought it was insane. So much ejector, getting thrown around, good pace and while some gripe about the 2nd lift killing the pace I didn't think that. To me it was basically a re-ride but you didn't have to get off and back on. Sadly there was no dueling, not even close but I went on a dead day. Was still great and hey I'll take being able to walk onto this ride 4 times in a row! What a ride, IDK why some have said its lower on the intensity/not as insane...I thought it was quite wild.

[@jaycastro5044]

There’s one issue to this ride that made me a little nervous and that’s the safety establishments on the car seating. I understand it’s a wooden rollercoaster, but because it includes a couple inversions it’d feel safer having the handle bar and a headrest included. Having rode this the first time, I had to hold onto the sides the entire ride :o

[@rodrigoescamilla8807]

Great video Taylor! Congrats

[@CoasterHorizons]

So is it just a huge layout or does the track switch?

[@sogenesis5738]

I learned about the Screampunk District in this video, and now that I know that it exists, I want to go to Magic Mountain more than ever since steampunk is one of the coolest (pretty underrated in my book) genres ever! Oh, and to ride Twisted Colossus, and all the other coasters there.

[@ethanl5109]

congrats on hitting 40000 subs

[@coastersnstuff7278]

+coasterstudios when will you be coming to Lagoon again?

[@quentinelivert9944]

I can't wait to go on that with my cozens

[@floyd5981]

This is my favorite ride of all time! Also great content! New sub! 👍🏾

[@chrisbrunelle1284]

the only reason I don't put it higher on my list (#6) is because of the lull on the second hill. only complaint

[@nvghtime695]

I rode this once and the duel lined up at the drop row for row. It was AMAZING :D

[@aldencodding8730]

Umm... On "The only highfive in the western hemisphere" what about Gemini at Cedar Point

[@nathanielthomas2502]

agreed you can actually touch the other riders hands. me & my brother do it all the time on the 2nd turnaround

[@stewartschweers672]

A high five element is on a racing/dueling coaster when the tracks bank in towards each other (left side banks right, right side banks left) so the riders could throw their hands up and high five each other while sideways.

[@twistedcheese1]

King of Ice and the Grand national at Blackpool pleasure beach

[@XGaming1]

King of Ice gemini doesn't have a high five element

[@TBeat]

a high five element is where they bank towards each other, Gemini dosent have a high five.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Just like you say about the Larson stupid loop not being a coaster (cause it isn't), it's not a corkscrew!

[@noahbickett9580]

If you haven't already do Superman: Escape from Krypton review and BTW if you already have ridden that ride and you dropped backwards, Well they reversed the seats making it so much better at least thats what my mom said

[@uprlvl]

Cool review!

[@diamondbackvlogs6613]

great review

[@infocoasters9870]

is banshee still in your top 20?

[@evanl9414]

I went for my birthday in April, the ride operator stopped us at the top of the list so the other train could catch up.

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Now I REALLY want to ride this!

[@foxcoaster3047]

Nice profile picture! I love talon! It may just be the most underrated coaster ever!

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

thx. Yeah it's a very iconic looking ride

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

none of the other rides are worth it. I mean this looks good but so do the others. What's your top ten coasters at the park?

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

what about tatsu or x2 or scream or full throttle. none of those are good at all?

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

CP is better but MM doesn't look bad. All the b&m's seem pretty good for their kind. And Superman looked decent too

[@consuminginternalorgans]

I went on twisted colossus today but they were only running two trains so i didn't race but it was still amazing.

[@madelinegarber7860]

This sounds awesome! Is the airtime more floater or ejector or some of both?

[@ethandillon4850]

There is no ride I like more than twisted Colossus. Me and my uncle went to six flags and rode colossus 11X! Although I almost everyone puked after 4 straight rides I went for another 6.

[@nickwolfgangrocks6006]

I love you Taylor

[@th3maverick180]

How much money was all your recording stuff not including the computer

[@nickburger5892]

do top ten Rmc roller coasters

[@fastpassfanatic6894]

This roller coaster is littttt 🔥🔥🔥

[@CoasterCrab]

It doesn't matter but I thought the 1st inversion was a zero g roll

[@timokho20]

yeah correct, Taylor doesn't actual know much about, coaster elements, or like things how the turns work, or that kind of stuff. he just knows an has ridden a lot of coasters in real life but isn't as much geared towards the specific things.

[@theyellowk123]

it doesn't roll though, rotates upside down then rotates back the same direction. It only rotates 180 degrees.

[@trevorpalm9195]

You go on the blue side first, the zero g roll.

[@Subie-N]

Twisted Colossus is the only Airtime coaster at Six flags Magic mountain in my opinion

[@Subie-N]

u have a point

[@totalshots1]

And California

[@rayontherocks]

what about ghost rider at knots berry farm?

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

Stelio johnson I respect your opinion. I caught some insane floater airtime at the top of Superman: Escape From Krypton. Twisted Colossus has more and better airtime though.

[@robotic658.]

I went on twisted clouas

[@kw6stheater539]

What about when Twisted Colossus gets boring again? Intamin prefab redo? 😮

[@kw6stheater539]

Risk 'em making it into a dueling stand up SLC with a mega cobra roll as the turnarounds?

[@charleyhibschweiler4555]

Six Flags Magic Mountain (also known as Twisted Colossus, a couple other rides/coasters and FREE CREDITS)

[@ethandillon4850]

I only ever missed a race once.

[@alexnoble2002]

When will you be posting your new top coasters?

[@CoasterStudios]

sometime within the next few weeks.

[@WagnerBros]

+Coaster Studios awesome

[@alexnoble2002]

+Coaster Studios sweet! Looking forward to it!

[@ethanm1252]

i bet RMC will dominate that list

[@alexnoble2002]

+Ethan M same

[@jaredxia6024]

do an x2 review next

[@craigzorzy2105]

Are you ever going to go to SFNE?

[@coastermonium515]

He will never go there

[@FirBurger98]

+Coaster Box why not

[@midwestthrills3681]

Will XFlight be next???

[@CoasterStudios]

no, but I'll get to it eventually

[@midwestthrills3681]

Ok, thanks. :)

[@timokho20]

please do notice that X2, is rougher on the outer seats and that the inner seats are a lot less and actually add to the intensity, so if B&M made it, i think it would be less great of a ride experience, on half of the seats, but did make it more smoother, while i think i rather have 50% of the train is where you get an amazing experience, but the other half isnt as enjoyable, i guess its the same with skyrush, 50% there is pretty bad, but the other half is good. i am kind of dissapointed you sat in the outer seat. you should definately go there again and try out X2, numerous times on different seats, since i have also heard that people say front seat is rougher than back seat, and when i was there i was sitting towards the back, and in the inner seat, and i still prefer it over coasters like Taron.

[@skylerpowers8871]

To be fair, Skyrush isn't bad in any seat. It is more uncomfortable on the wing seats but it is still a world class fantastic coaster with or without some minor thight pain. Sorry, my Skyrush fanboyism is showing again lol

[@timokho20]

Skyler Powers skyrush doesnt have minor pain, its horrible.

[@timokho20]

CanadaCoasterFan my friend has and he is a coaster enthusiast too.

[@zacharystewart5344]

+Skyler Powers I've been on skyrush at least a few dozen times and honestly its good but overrated... it's just waaayyy to short of a ride and has a bit of a rattle along with the thigh crush.. still the second best ride at Hershey though!

[@timokho20]

Zachary Stewart whats your favourite at hershey? i do agree with you even though i haven't ridden it, people say the thigh crush is horrible and it really is a short ride.

[@anishlahorani3647]

When I went the green chain was faster in order to catch up to the other car

[@saredciders7414]

TC is the best

[@padda65]

when i was there i rode twice and did not get a duel

[@crazycrezno]

Can you review nitro at SFGA

[@zacharystewart5344]

I think he already did

[@pr3sidentcreeper252]

I agree

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I thought i saw nitro in the list of reviews he showed at the end

[@stacipeavler5463]

i’ve ridden it 8 times and never dualed

[@bigturdgames9802]

I'm real sad that I was never able to ride the old colossus but that ride closed when I was like 5 and I was still riding kiddie coasters but I gotta admit this ride is AWESOME

[@TheCoasterCraze]

This is my favorite coaster, beating out nitro

[@foxcoaster3047]

Well I heard you got a bad ride. Nitro, smooth train, row 8 corner seat is in my top 3 favorite rollercoaster. Awesome. Maybe they had the trims on when you rode it?

[@TheCoasterCraze]

+Fox Coaster it's super smooth, and tons of airtime and great speed

[@foxcoaster3047]

Nitro, or TC?

[@TheCoasterCraze]

+Fox Coaster TC, nitro has more airtime, but TC is a better ride

[@kyledunn2975]

Fury 325 vs Twisted Collussus

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

Have you ridden Wicked Cyclone

[@Youllneverseemecoming]

Imagine ghost rider getting rmced

[@jackfarts6155]

For the first ride ride (blue) a nine but on the green side a 10

[@SteveTwerksalotTheChunti]

I was the lead at this ride when you were there! i saw you and i made sure it raced everytime you were on it! haha

[@CoasterStudios]

thanks! It really made the ride experience much better because of it!

[@CoasterHorizons]

Coaster Studios do you remember seeing him? 👀

[@matthunwick5230]

What a hero

[@leejohnson179]

I adored the old Colossus with an intense nostalgic love and I was heartbroken when I heard it was closing. Then I heard this new ride was replacing/updating the old and I was suspicious. Then, finally, I rode it and I was blown away. I am so glad to see the love for this ride from Coaster Studios and from people in the comment section like CoasterGuy. And I'm glad that there are real coaster enthusiasts capable of dropping the old Cedar Point vs. Magic Mountain binary opposition whereby you have to choose one and denigrate the other, and instead we have fans who can just open-mindedly appreciate any ride wherever it is, and see that both these parks are amazing for what they do. I have been on coasters all over the country, and currently TC is my favorite -- simply because, as Taylor put it, it's probably the most fun.

[@Missglam67]

I share your sentiments about our beloved Colossus. I didn’t Beloit at first when they said they were closing it. I said I would sign whatever petition was out there to save it. I basically grew up with this coaster. I know it sound silly but the good memories and the thrills shared on Colossus are unforgettable and incredible. Even when they put the block break over that double down camelback I still loved Colossus. It could do no wrong as far as I was concerned. I wished I would have ridden it one last time before it closed. It’s a decision I will always regret. When I first saw the new Twisted version I actually cried. What have they done to my beloved Colossus? It was massive in its prime! I guess I was expecting to see both drop hills still the same. The first one still looked the same only with steel tracks. It didn’t have the figure 8 course but it was still a racer. It instead of the 2nd big drop bill that’s where the twist came in in Twisted Colossus. After riding it for first time and having a good cry on the lift hill I had the same exact holy *hit WTF reaction I did when riding classic Colossus the first time. That confirmed to me that the spirit of Colossus lives within Twisted Colossus.

[@TheMaverick987]

I have ridden 449 different roller coasters and in my opinion Twisted Colossus is one of the best. I personally counted more airtime moments than displayed on the stats in the queue. Those stats said 18 moments of airtime. I counted 20 moments.

[@TheMaverick987]

Yeah. I have. You know there are people who have ridden over 1000 so 449 isn't that many.

[@douglas8225]

It kinda sucks that the restraints ruin it :(

[@TheMaverick987]

+Fury325 Doug How do they?

[@TheMaverick987]

+CanadaCoasterFan yet to ride voyage. El toro is amazing and is one of my favourite wooden coasters but I don't believe it beats Twisted Colossus. Skyrush. Well I have ridden that and it has the nickname thighcrush for a reason.

[@douglas8225]

CoasterGuy The metal buckle digs into your thigh on practically every airtime momevt. Calf bar is unnecessary and annoying.

[@braydencoates609]

one time I went on the twisted colossus and me and my dad were on the blue side and my mom, sister, and my brother and we raced, it was awesome

[@bioteacher9564]

i think there should be a brake on the lift hill so the green or blue can race

[@nvghtime695]

interesting idea

[@revistytrains]

yeah cuz it doesn't really race as much anymore

[@masonmartineau2304]

PERFECT 10. This is my home park and its my top priority over the other coasters.

[@Yospooda]

Yeah my home park too there’s really no other ride with strong ejector in the next 300 miles except for ghost rider at Knotts. Twisted is really the only ride at sfmm that gives strong ejector

[@cedarpointfanboy7317]

RMC Gemeni Says cedar point fanboy

[@freaky09012]

Literally one of the best rides I've ever been onin my entire life. You have to ride it in the front AND the back. The back is a new experience!

[@seaskiguy]

Was just at SFMM, and TC is badass. Talk about ejector seat air! And you're right, dueling is absolutely amazing. There is just nothing quite like TC. I too thought the second lift hill might screw up the ride. I didn't think it did at all. To me, it's just like the second act of an amazing show. I couldn't get enough of this ride. Love it!

[@RayBcv1030]

YES YOU GAVE IT A 10. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE THAT U LOVE MY #1 COASTER

[@thisismysea]

This is hands down my favorite roller coaster I've ever been on! I'm a diehard wood coaster fan and hybrid coasters take everything I love about wood to the next level and beyond. This ride is so long and twisty, it's just a blast from start to finish. I wish I could take it home to the east coast with me and ride it all the time!

[@reneelewis9346]

Yes. I agree with you that TC is a 10 if it is racing. This ride absolutely needs to race in order for you to get the full ride experience!!

[@CVW2112]

you are so correct on every aspect of this ride...its the best in the park..... i rode it only once and it was at night in the front....and was awesome....my woman thought she was falling out....lol i had to explaine to her as we were going up the second lift that she was not falling out it was airtime.... i even reached over and pushed down her bar to make sure and she was fine....i had to explaine airtime to her and yes it had alot...the designer of this did a great job.....it will always be in my top coasters.....

[@trevortichonchuk5542]

So grateful that I was able to ride with you on 4 out of 5 of those rides!!! One of the highlights of my life being able to meet someone I've been watching on KZbin for almost 3 years and then getting to ride with them on my favorite roller coaster numerous times! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CoasterStudios]

Thanks for hanging with us Trevor- riding Twisted Colossus was definitely a highlight of my summer too!

[@godkinghell15]

+Coaster Studios thank u so much for this its one of the best rides that i ever rode

[@max.tessnow3]

You are actually always racing. It's just sometimes the other train has a bit of a headstart.

[@gavinfraser3233]

love this ride but hate how it only duels 1/3 of the time cuz usually the operators don't enforce the 30 second boarding, they should put up signs in the station for quick boarding and rider cooperation, and then the coaster would always duel and the lines would be fast- kill two stones with one bird

[@GigaG11]

Twisted Colossus is my favorite RMC and one of my favorite coasters period.

[@kevinkortegast4738]

Is it in your top 10?

[@CoasterStudios]

YES!

[@kevinkortegast4738]

Coaster Studios cool do You Know which Place?

[@CoasterStudios]

Yoshi 12345 Yes

[@kevinkortegast4738]

Coaster Studios and?

[@Xdog42]

hey Taylor i was wondering if you consider RMC wooden roller coaster i cant stand people who say they are i have nothing against RMC i just think there coasters should be considered different from a traditional woodie. personally i just call them hybrids. what do you consider it

[@Kwatchthisb]

nearly sh*t my pants on the twist on the blue side not from being scared though i just really had to sh*t

[@PastTime777]

TC is #2 in my RMC category only behind NTG. TC is #4 in my overall USA Steel list of 82. I also give it a 10. Only after I ride Lightning Rod (next week) and that coaster is running two trains all the time will LR take that spot. But right now. TC has it, and will keep it the rest of this year. The reasons this coaster is so great, is the ride length (4990 feet). There's the future answer for the suits reading this from CF or SF. Make another that's 6 or 7k feet in length. Then they will always duel if the crew is good.

[@MrGaju2001]

The best experience I've had on any amusement park was in this roller coaster, the park was almost closing and we were the very last people who rode that roller coaster that day, and so no one was waiting in line and the employee was super cool so I got to ride THREE TIMES IN A ROW without even leaving the trains, it was freaking awesome and he also did that with the people in thw other train, there was no people waiting so this awesome guy sinc the trains so we raced EVERY SINGLE TIME, it was truly something unbeliavable, i dont know who that employee was but thank you for giving me that awesome experience

[@Scriff779]

I think the scoring system for RMC's should be different because if like you said, TC isn't dueling it gets a 9, that makes it worse than New Texas Giant, yet it's better, if you disagree then that's fine, i'm just saying that may not line up correctly.

[@justiceforsethrichwwg1wga160]

The only race where it doesn’t matter who wins and the loser is just as happy as the winner! Lol

[@GuadalupePicasso]

I was there today, and they didn’t seem to be trying to make them race, but there were also only 2 trains, and I feel like that makes it even more difficult to properly sync.

[@marcshumaker3719]

I've ridden TC in the rain (yes, it happens sometimes in LA) and on a day when the car thermometer said 118 in the parking lot (that also happens in LA). Both days TC was walk on and running three trains but it almost never dueled. On crowded days with long lines it has been dueling consistently like you described.

[@patrickjoseph9158]

I rode this about 4 years ago. Never had ridden anything like it before. Not even close. It felt like I was riding a cartoon coaster.

[@foxcoaster3047]

Will there be an X2 review?

[@bubbaborjapaintball]

yes do thisss

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

X2 ♥

[@geekmoto1363]

well i got to go one this and this is amazeballs. so much more enjoyable than what it used to be, the zero g stall is fun without leaving you hanging. this is what this ride needed. so amazing one of my all time favorites. super smooth. would ride over and over again. if i could i would ride it all day.

[@lucianoalonso4389]

do a parody as your 3rd parody of an amazing coaster like you did with Cannibal and Fury 325

[@rb5078]

This is my #1 bucket list coaster. It just looks so fun.

[@timmyjohn8470]

This really is one of the best rides in the park, which is really saying something, given the pedigree of Magic Mountain.

[@MrDrkNoir]

It is a fun coaster but he’s right. It’s better when they dual
