A high-five doesn’t work if the trains aren’t there at the same time, right? I’m very curious to see how they handle that. Train has six cars with two rows each, seating two abreast per row. Originally designed and built by International Amusement Devices, the roller coaster opened as Colossus, a dual-tracked roller coaster, on June 29, 1978. The biggest challenege seems like it will be getting the trains lined up to actually duel (without completely stopping the train on the second lift to wait for the first one). Twisted Colossus is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita, California. Construction on Twisted Colossus has already started, with a target opening for Spring 2015.įor more information on the release, check out the official page here: Īlthough it’s sad to lose the iconic Colossus, I’m pretty excited that the West Coast is getting a Rocky Mountain ride, and the first hybrid dueling coaster looks like it’s going to be pretty awesome.

The “blue” track will turn into the “green” track, and the first and second lift hill will be next to each other (hopefully well synced). It is definitely a twist on a traditional wooden coaster experience.” The new coaster will consist of two dueling trains, but it looks like it will actually be one continuous track. This cutting-edge technology marries the best of both classic and modern coaster designs. Just 11 days after closing the 36 year old wooden racing/dueling coaster, Magic Mountain announced today that they will be bringing back the ride as a new hybrid steel and wood coaster called Twisted Colossus.Īccording to the park, Twisted Colossus will be a “ world-record-breaking hybrid coaster…(with) an unprecedented, awe-inspiring four-minute journey through nearly 5,000 feet of track and two lift hills.” Park president Bonnie Rabjohn said of the new ride, “ innovation will go to an extreme level with record-breaking elements, faster speeds and steeper banks. It didn’t take long to find out what will happen to the recently closed Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
