Twisted Colossus • Six Flags Magic Mountain

Pace Layout Ejectors Reliability

Twisted Colossus is an amazing coaster with a long but fast paced layout. I mean, it's two coasters in one! All the hills provide intense airtime, and the inversions are whippy. It is everything you expect from an RMC. Even when it is not dueling, the ride is fantastic, and a dueling ride is a cherry on top. However, no one should ignore the fact that this ride is supposed to duel every time and it doesn't. When I include "Reliability" as a Con, I am referring to its dueling and not so much the maintenance aspect. While there already is a computer program implemented to change the speed of the chain-lift to help create more duels, I feel like this system could be improved and that it would fix a lot of the problem. Often the trains are only 10-15 seconds away from dueling, and a programming upgrade could help the computer more accurately adjust the speed of the lifts so that there are more duels. Even if throughput suffers a little more, I would happily wait 15 more minutes in line knowing that I am assured a dueling ride on both sides. the lack of dueling is the only major complaint I have with this ride, and aside from that, it is #1 in the park for me.

Airtimes Layout Duration

The staff were really cool and tried to dispatch the ride in time so it would duel. Out of the three times that I rode it, we only dueled once, but when we did, it was AMAZING. This is definitely the best coaster at Magic Mountain.

Inversions Fun Masterpiece

The Top Gun Stall is one of my favorite roller coaster features of all time. This ride is a 100% must for even the most casual of coaster fans.

Airtimes Pace Duration

Fast, tight, and full of ejector airtime. It's especially fun when the two trains experience the stall-roll and the inline twist simultaneously. Awesome ride... and then you get to do it again!

Makes a mockery of absolutely everything I have tried before; an easy steal for my number 1 spot. Could not get enough of this. I can see why some might find an RMC too much, but for me this was perfection. Moar please!

Airtimes First Drop Smoothness Harness

Twisted Colossus spent alot of time at my #1, then I rode El Toro. Nonetheless, it is still pretty awesome. The prelift even has air! The drops are insane with pure ejector air but sadly there is a little thigh crushing. The high five is unique and cool as well. The stall in particular is a great inversion. The best part is once the blue side ends, you get to go again on the green side! it's practically the same layout but slighlty altered. When you're dueling, the ride is even better. Overall, Twisted Colossus is one wicked ride but it is held back a little by poor restraints. Still a 5/5 though.
