I went on it i was like this aint that high when we got to the top but then i turns and you see the lower part of the
ground and woooooooooosssssssssshhhhh its so fun fels like your going to smash into the queing guests at every turn. On
the 5 incline rolls in a row i felt my phone camera and iPod slipping from my pockets I was like which do i save! But
luckly it was all ok and i didnt lose any. TOP TIP: Keep your head back and have zip up pockets if you dont want to
leave valuables in an unattended bag.

I love Colossus!! (But not quite as much as Stealth).
10 Inversions is just amazing, and it's a world record.
I've
been on this 10 times now :)

Colossus is a fairly smooth ride as long as you are in the front few trains, had a really good ride on there in the 2nd
train last week. At the back it can be bumpy but as long as you try and get the front trains its fine. I always lean my
head forwards on this anyway just in case. best option is to get the fast track and go for the front seat queue and then
as long as you are tall enough you wont have any head banging at all.

very very overhyped , 'wow it has 10 loops!' - this doesnt actually make it a good coaster , to give it credit its quite
smooth but really quite boring after bieng turned over and over at an snails pace

Now colossus was the icon of the park when I first went, the year before Stealth was built. I was tiny, I was 8, and I
was terrified. Though, in 2008 when I visited again, I braved it. And it gave me a headache on the scale of having nails
rammed into my brain!!!!!!!!!! Thorpe tried to bring a great ride to the park, and my mum said it doesn't hurt when you
keep your head forward. Though I didn't go on again, and never will. Pain beyond belief, as you may see in cf's vid
where the riders are screaming things like LOATHE THIS RIIIIIIIIIIDE!!!!!!!!!! So yeah.

Overhyped! Could have been good, but it is way to repetitive, way to rough and the restraints are bad.. Further more
it's way less thrilling than eg Dragon Khan hence it's small size, all in all it doesn't deserve a grade higher than
5/10.

I think this is the only ride in the world, where you get an absolutle smashing, yet you want to ride it over and over
again. The hang time on the incline rolls are immense.

I now officially love this ride! Went to thorpe park the other day and had never been on a looping ride before. Stealth
was closed so my riend said we should go on Colossus and it was awesome! 9

Just don't sit in the back of a car (where there is less leg room), it is a lot rougher, I have noticed

What the hell why would anyone score this ride 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 its worth much more than that it should be more like 9 or
10 i mean its the worlds first rollercoaster to have 10 inversions, plus the theming is good.

just to top the previouse comment , yes the themeing is magniffisent , i loved it , rather rough in places , and the
restraints pretty uncoumfortable , but i had the dodggy train with no belts , soo that made more anticipation.

A good concept, and less sickly than I had imagined. I don't find it smooth or comfortable to sit in, but I guess this
comes with age. Could do with a re-paint I say!
Despite all this, a very fun ride and one that you can brag about
'cos it has 10 inversions ;)
8/10

a smooth ride with more than enough inversions to tickle my fancy. i would give it 9 out of 10 but the ride is a little
dated and i have gotten used to the extreme thrills so 8.

It's OK, nothing special. The heartline rolls should have been a tad faster and the small bump after the first loop
should have been a bit harder, for some good airtime.

this ride is pretty good but the inline twists just get boring and repetitive, like they were just running out of ideas

Its becoming a mediocre show Colossus, suffering from down time and unwanted roughness. Once you've ridden it the ride
loses all aspects of novelty too.

I love this ride, the first inversion and airtime hill leading into the cobra roll is my favorite part i also like how
the path around the attraction is weaved right into the center so u can see the coaster woosh by 8/10

Left me a bit cold this one. Yes it is impressive but it lacks character in my opinion. Ultimately, a great ride but
almost too much to take in and consequently left me with no lasting impression.

Why do so many people look at the negatives of coasters, I enjoy them while I can, looking at all of you who rated this
anywhere under 7

Very thrilling but slightly uncomfortable due to lack of leg room. But coaster is amazing, themeing/landscaping.

I think Colossus is way underated! It is a bit "headbangy" but still it is class. I love the final twists!! :)

Its kinda a good ride. But it seems to have aged terribly. Enjoyable once in the day. But unlike other rides in the
park, i don;t tend to re-ride.

I like this ride looks good visually, and I love going through the tunnels and flying over the crowds in the queues
below, and I love the queue to, it is very good visually, the plants, the themeing the ride all works well together
