@MrFenderStrat7 the park had a problem with the final brakes back in 1978 where the double dip caused the ride to go to fast. it ran through it's course severa; time before they finally brought it to a stop. there were numerous other issues with the final brake run and they solved the problem w/ the block brakes
in this video , while the double down is still there, one can see that they were already using the horrible morgan plastic yuck bucket trains, when that happened it was doomed ..
This ride is an oldie but a goodie for me. The sitcom Step By Step uses this coaster in their opening credits (filmed that same year!), and if I got on that ride, I can feel the theme song playing in my head as a symbol for simpler times.
This is so much better backwards i think so! I like how Fright Eest worked both sides this year!!! haha. And its funner going backwards. Especially at night!
This coaster seems like it was so much faster back in those days. I was at Six Flags Magic Mountain yesterday, and this ride seems very slow, bumpy, and boring by how it clunks along the track. It's still a good ride, though, but not worth waiting more than 15 minutes in line for.
once rode this 5 times in a row without gettng off...wow, that was fun

@MrFenderStrat7 they replaced those camelback hills for the breaks at 1991. i wish they'd had those hills still tho.

this was back when colossus had a double dip after the 3rd big drop (at 1:47) now they replaced that portion of the track with a flat brake run.
