They've done you so dirty, Mr Colossus. you could be so much better, and give us all less headaches. I know that is your desire, but Mr Merlin won't let you - because they don't respect you. But, I do - I know you could be amazing again. One day, Mr Colossus. One day.

Colossus is super painful dude the trains push your feet up at a weird angle, the restraint is kinda claustrophobic and it comes down on the very first inversion lol. Heartline rolls are interesting but you just kinda move in 4 directions in your seat. Airtime good and landscaping cool

Looks pretty but seemed to be running far worse than before. Could barely fit in the trains so that was uncomfortable and the headbanging throughout just made the whole experience scary in a bad way. ...

Great layout but the trains and restraints ruin it. You have no leg room and the restraints are so close to your head that a bit of a rattle can feel much worse than it is. I've ridden Sik at flamingo land and those trains and restraints are miles better and make the layout more enjoyable. But considering it's age it's a good ride.

Fairly long ride with good inversions. The trains are super cramped with uncomfortable restraints. It was a bit rough, I didn't find it too bad but I was near the front, I can imagine it is problematic near the back of the train.

This ride looks great. It was freshly painted, there's plenty of foliage and I love how the queue and some main paths go through it. Beautiful to look at. It also has a pretty nice soundtrack. However...

This ride looks great. It was freshly painted, there's plenty of foliage and I love how the queue and some main paths go through it. Beautiful to look at. It also has a pretty nice soundtrack. However, riding's not that good. The trains are bad, and so are some of the transitions. Those corkscrews didn't have whip, they just had pain. I usually love extreme whippy rides and don't normally mind rattle or OTSR, but here it was rather annoying. The hangtime on the final rolls was fun, I guess, but the corkscrews were not, and the airtime hills gave some very week floater, which felt kinda disappointing. I rode towards the front, so maybe that first drop provided more at the back. Also, I only got a morning ride, so maybe the experience would be improved later in the afternoon, force-wise. In that regard, none of valleys or inversions pulled many G's, but again, could be due to the early ride. Overall, I think Colossus is worth a ride, it can be fun, but getting rerides when there are so many amazing roller coasters at the same park doesn't sound like a great idea.

This ride seems to be hated on too much, but I can see why. I feel like since 2022 this ride has gotten a lot smoother even in the non retrack bits, but please REDO THE GODDAM TRAINS. Most inversions ...

This ride seems to be hated on too much, but I can see why. I feel like since 2022 this ride has gotten a lot smoother even in the non retrack bits, but please REDO THE GODDAM TRAINS. Most inversions hit and it’s a forceful layout. Get new trains.

Running really smooth this season! The scenery and near misses really compliment this bizzare layout. The ending rolls are a real spectacle for onlookers, even if they don't ride the best. Very outdat...

Running really smooth this season! The scenery and near misses really compliment this bizzare layout. The ending rolls are a real spectacle for onlookers, even if they don't ride the best. Very outdated, but a fun classic looper with a few twists

Une bouse comme il devrait pas en avoir ! Le seul originalité du coaster c'est ces inversions qui sont juste horrible, chacune passe avec une grande baffe ! Les heartline roll à gogo donne envie de vomir tellement ca fait machine à lavé ! Le débit est horrible car les harnais sont particulièrement petit ! Les opérateurs doivent ouvrir au moins 2 harnais par tour c'est une énorme machine à gaz. +1 et à jamais !

La France a Goudurix, l'Angleterre a Colossus. Les sièges sont très étroits ; moi qui suis pourtant petite, je n'étais absolument pas à l'aise. Installée au deuxième rang, je pensais limiter les dégâts. Non. A peine sorti du lift que tout tremble, la drop, les inversions, les virages... Avec ça, rajoutez des baffes violentes. L'enchaînement des 4 heartline roll a de quoi vous rendre malade. Bref, à raser.

Horrible Train inconfortable, pas de place pour les jambes et harnais «  guillotine » Les inversions pourraient être intéressantes mais on se prend des baffes TOUT LE TEMPS On ressort avec une mi...

This ride would be really good if not for the awful trains and restraints. The 10 inversions are fun and definitely a good introduction to inversions for coaster newbies but it would be nice if the ride had better trains and restraints and weren't that rough.

I went in expecting a rough ride and to my surprise the only discomfort was that the trains aren’t very spacious, I put my head forward throughout and experienced no headbanging. The ride itself, while short has some fun inversions namely the heart line roles and the final inversion is very whippy, this ride definitely exceeded my expectations and gets an undeserved bad reputation online.

It's honestly a really fun ride in the front row of any of the trains. In the back rows, if you have long legs you have have horrible cramp due to the restraints pinning your legs to the ground and th...

It's honestly a really fun ride in the front row of any of the trains. In the back rows, if you have long legs you have have horrible cramp due to the restraints pinning your legs to the ground and those rows having less legroom than Ryanair. The theming is also good.

Colossus est un coaster plutôt bien themé, belle gare par ailleurs. Pour le ride c'est assez simple, vous enchainez les inversions assez classiques, mais c'est toujours très sympa, d'autant plus que les 4 heartlines roll de fin sont très lentes et offres de bons hangtimes ! C'est un bon coaster, qui n'excelle pas, il est dans la norme !

Rather like it's horror movie neighbour, Colossus is an annoying ride. I actually quite like the layout, and it doesn't run particularly rough other than a few spots, particularly considering it's well into it's 3rd decade of operation. But those trains man, they're hideous. The restraints are bad, very bulky and hard, so when your head hits them, it hurts. The actual seats are worse, they're an awful shape and the little lump between your legs ensures that, for the gentlemen at least, your ability to have children is severely reduced. But worst of all is the legroom, you either sit in the front of a car where the shape of the floor bends your feet upwards, or in the back where you have to straddle the seat in front, pushing the edge of your legs over the edge of the seat. Apart from Zamperla's Volare trains, I think they are the worst ride vehicles ever made. Such a waste of a decent layout as it is actually rather fun, the rolls at the end are very extra but it's certainly still a crowd pleaser for that.

Colossus c'est l'exemple parfait du coaster débile, un type de coaster que l'on ne ferait plus aujourd'hui (du moins plus de cette manière). Cette caractéristique lui donne un certain charme même si ça n'enlève pas le fait que le but de son parcours consiste à foutre la gerbe à ses passagers pour battre un record. En plus de cela ajoutez des opérations calamiteuses même pire que dans le reste du parc (oui oui) et de nombreuses pannes et vous obtenez un ride très oubliable sans être foncièrement mauvais. Je note malgrès tout que j'apprécie beaucoup le terrain sur lequel Colossus est implanté et le fait qu'il viellit pas trop mal ce vieux briscard !

It’s overall a good ride with a pretty decent layout but once you’ve passed the first inversion it just doesn’t run that well anymore. It rattles through every single inversion and the harness makes your head shake from the left to the right and back. The pacing is half decent and feels great, again, the rattle ruins it.

Le pire coaster que j’ai fait. Une horreur niveau confort, que de vibrations, aucun plaisir dessus, aucune intensité. Je pense qu’il est trop vieux, de plus il fait un bruit insupportable tout du long...

Le pire coaster que j’ai fait. Une horreur niveau confort, que de vibrations, aucun plaisir dessus, aucune intensité. Je pense qu’il est trop vieux, de plus il fait un bruit insupportable tout du long. Je le recommande vraiment pas. On dirait une attraction de fête foraine, très mauvaise qualité.
