With the title of 'The Worlds First 10 Looping Coaster,' Colossus does exactly what it says on the tin! 10 fast-paced, heart pounding Inversions that leave you gasping for air throughout the whole ride. Colossus promises to leave you with a great feeling of acomplishment and shock, and a need to find the nearest toilet!
It's an intense, stomach-churning coaster that is impossible not to enjoy as you fly above, under and even next to passing guests at immense speeds and in extreme positions. From the point as you leave the chainlift to rolling 360 degrees 4 times in a row, within inches of passing guest's heads, Colossus never loses its momentum and high thrill factor!
Force Factor Average Member Rating Out of Ten

I still think this is underated: Record breaking; well-themed and way, way better than useless Rita that seems to be up in the higher lot. I love Colossus!

I have ridden rollercoasters from all over the world.. But i have to to admit, this is definatly in my top 5... The cobra roll is a little rough, but the air time you get on tha little hill and the hang time on the inline twists are just amazing

This is a enjoyable ride, the worst part was the inline twists

Its not rough! It just vibrates a lot. I find its getting better with age! You get like one soft headbang in the cobra roll and thats it.

I like the head banging. Makes the ride feel unsafe. Therefore the ride is scarier! Well. Watever. Its still an awsome ride! :) Love it!

I must have been living in the clouds when I gave Colossus a 9. I rode it just recently and it was absolutely dreadful. It was so violent and it sounded like the whole ride was about to collapse. However, I was sitting nearer the back which is going to make it worse but still, it deserves no more than a 6 or 7 at best.

it depends on where about you sit of the roughness..... the back is better cause it drags you around ! feel more g-force at the back than the front!!!! give it 8/10

Very rough coaster, There was lots of painful headbanging through the Cobra Roll and the Corkscrews. The ride also rattles and vibrates lots, The ride only gets a 4 because the Inline Twists were good fun and had good hangtime.

this roller coaster is amazing the first few times, but after a while it gets a bit slugish... the best bit, i think, is the air-time/g's on the slight Hill after the loop!.

Personally one of my favourite coasters. Yes it can be a little rough, but I think the people who are like "OMG it's so rough wah wah wah" are overreacting a bit (it could have been an arrow or vekoma, after all ;)) Non-stop thrills. Great stuff!

Colossus is amazing this season (2007). I hated it in 2006, but this season it seems to have become smoother. Colossus comes in my top 10 coasters now, and is absoloutly worth the queue for an excellent ride. 10/10

I don't think this is a bad roller coaster at all. I think the only part that's a little rough is the cobra roll. Otherwise it's a great roller coaster. I especially like the four inline twists in a row. GREAT HANGTIME!!!

It's not bad, but it could be a lot better if it wasn't so rough in seats other than the front. Although, my front row night ride on fright nights was excellent.

I've only been on it once so far (at the front) and I thought it was really good. The heartline rolls are easily the best part of the ride. They're so much fun and have so much hangtime<3 It's one of my favourite rides at the park and to be honest at the front there was only one rough part during the entire ride (going into the cobra roll).

omg excellent ride, personally, best coaster in england. The queue line is fantastic as you walk around the lake. Ride is absolutly thrilling and you get the butterflies. Absolutly amazing. Luv the barrel rolls at the end.

This ride does not deserve the slack it gets.
I loved every second of it, even the inlines. I found it smooth with just a little bit of banging on the cobra roll. Overall great ride.

I loved it even though the restraints practically crushed my leg and I could hardly walk afterwards! The ride was great fun though and a unique experience. The barrel rolls at the end are fantastic!

Fun but a little rough. It won't break your neck, it's cool. I think it's actually pretty cool.

Very fast and fun! Nice airtime on the bunny hop and a good dose of G's on the inversions! The rolls are a bit boring and uncomftable though. Also, nice music in the queue line! 9/10

I don't understand either why it's 31st in the ratings, it should be much lower. Rough, uninspired and repetetive sums it up. 5/10
