Airtimes Ejectors Hangtime

I’d put more pros if it let me. Excellent coaster from start to finish. If you’re lucky enough to duel, this excellent coaster becomes the very, very best. It’s unbelievably cool and fun - But even if you don’t get to duel, it’s an absolute blast.

second to back row left seat. My second RMC ever but lightning rod is my other credit. This had fun elements but it didn’t seem to be moving very fast. Was shocked that this wasn’t my favorite coaster here but I think I wouldn’t want to wait more than 45 minutes for this ride. Still enjoyable and I love the dueling aspects but It didn’t do too much for me sadly. 4/5 it’s still a fun RMC lol I think ride ops was bumming me out or the coaster wasn’t as fast when I went on it. Kinda let down

Elite ride! One of my favorites of all time, and full of crazy ejector airtime. Currently ranks number 2 in my rankings

Great RMC, love the dueling concept tho hardly is dueling. Great airtime from every hill and absolutely blows through the layout. Crazy fun too.

I love that they converted the old colossus, so you get both tracks on every ride, and each track is unique. That’s a genius move. I prefer the blue track to the green, but heard others during my 3 different rides who preferred the green. This ride has a little bit of everything…. A great first drop (twice), good airtime, crazy inversions, smoothness, comfort, and fun from start to finish. They even get a little silly on the approach to the first chain lift. I’m putting this 3rd on my tops, only behind X-2 and Millennium Force. These hybrid wooden coasters are the best thing to happen in roller coasters, since inverted steel and dangling feet in the 90s. Joker at Discovery Kingdom is another really fun wooden hybrid coaster, but I thought this was significantly better.

Airtimes Comfort Smoothness

It has been a while since I rode this. Nearly 6 years now, but I remember this coaster as being buttersmooth. The mini bunny hops at the beginning were a pleasant surprise for sure. I loved that it were two coasters in one, but would have loved to have exchanged that for a longer ride in general without having that secondary lifthill. The topgun stall was definitely a highlight and I have a picture of that hanging above my bed as I love it so much. Just good memories!

A HUGE surprise. I was thinking this would be a mid tier RMC but wow was I wrong. I went expecting it to not duel and just be a decent airtime ride but man did it destroy my expectations. I went on 2 days where they were consistently dueling and that adds a whole new level to this ride imo. The first drop on both sides was a much better drop then I expected. The turn around gave fantastic airtime on both sides and provides great interaction between the trains. The bunny hill after on the blue side is an element I hadn’t heard anything about but was maybe my favorite moment of the ride. It felt like a magnum triangle hill but faster. The next moment gives fantastic sustained ejector similar to the camelbacks on twisted Timbers on the blue side, and good hang on the green side. If dueling this moment is amazing. The next element is similar just not quite as strong and then some good air into the breaks. I was not expecting the intensity and ejector this ride gave and the dueling added to it. It went from a ride I thought be ranked similarly to Iron Rattler to a ride that is ranked with Steel Vengeance for me and honestly I think is better. My new favorite RMC for now and it 100% deserves that title imo.

My #1 coaster right now

Airtimes Lap Bar

great great ride. lots of airtime even during the smaller bumps. if they time the coasters right you'll be able to have a great twisted race with the other train. probably one of the best rides I've been on.

It has great airtime and a great first drop, but some parts of it such as the stall were a bit underwhelming to me, which is partly my fault because of my expectations coming into it. At the park, I personably prefer Tatsu but Twisted Colossus is still one of my top coasters.

This is the best coaster i've ridden and the airtime is insane. There is 10+ times in this ride where you are getting ejected into your harness and dropped back down again. This ride is incredible and you can't miss it

Pace Layout Ejectors Reliability

Twisted Colossus is an amazing coaster with a long but fast paced layout. All the hills provide intense airtime, the inversions are whippy, so 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. My only major complaint is the inconsistency of dueling. Often the trains are only 10-15 seconds away from dueling, so it seems like only a minor programming change is needed. I would even go as far to say I would wait longer in line for slower operations as long as it is always duels. Even with this issue, it is still #1 at the park for me.

Standard RMC, fantastic fun while racing, great pops of ejector and floaty inversions, sadly dosent duel too much anymore, insane operations on opening day.

Twisted Colossus is amazing. It delivers a butt-kick first drop, and every element thereafter is quite enjoyable. Amazing airtime. They were doing pretty good about dueling the day I went, but my train unfortunately did not duel.

Airtimes Smoothness Duration

Twisted Colossus was my first RMC. I know this manufacturer has a flattering reputation among enthusiasts, and now I can see why. This coaster is just an amazing machine. It's smooth, it's long and intense, but not too intense, the airtimes are great, the inversions are great. The only drawback would be it would be even better if it would duel every time. Twisted Colossus definitely hooked me in the RMC hype, and I can't wait to ride more coasters from this manufacturer.

Another RMC where every moment is perfectly crafted. Designed to race, otherwise the pacing is a little wonky.

Perfect

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!

Fun Masterpiece Ejectors

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.
