Last ride I had on Colossus was good. Smoother however still rough but it contains whippy inversions that throw you side to side. It is one of the most intense rides at Thorpe park. New wheels really help the ride flow around the track without much of a rattle and the airtime hill before the cobra roll and after the loop it flies through. Delivering good airtime similar to The Smiler’s hills at Alton Towers and not to forget the extremely fun end to the ride. The 5 Heartline rolls which never stop delivering. The severe issue which is the reason why it is 3/5 is the terrible trains which are outdated and uncomfortable. New trains and a new paint job would make it the best ride at Thorpe park. The lost city theme is cool too? .

Easily the best Vekoma SLC I've been on. The actual rides I don't think are that bad, it's mostly the restraints. But the Great Nor'Easter's restraints were WONDERFUL. If the restraints on these things were replaced, I don't think they'd get near the amount of hate that they do.

Xpress platform is a hit or miss. The themeing and launch are great but the rest of the ride dosent do much however, the compact layout is ok, going under other parts of track is cool however the pace is severely lacking.

Very exciting and enjoyable, when you go to zip world, you will have to prebook this ride however. You get 3 rides in 1 which is good value. One tip to riding this coaster is to not brake due to it automatically doing it for you anyway and it slowing you down less so you can go much faster throughout the rest of the layout. The turns in the layout are not banked so it contains decent laterals similar to a wooden coaster and the mountainous terrain aspect adds to the whole experience. There is nothing wrong with this coaster for what it is. It contains fun, a very good pace and solid lateral force throughout some of its turns.

Really solid ride overall. Good airtimes especially on the first hill. The harness was a little uncomfortable as it was quite tight on the thighs. Ma...

Really solid ride overall. Good airtimes especially on the first hill. The harness was a little uncomfortable as it was quite tight on the thighs. Main issue was the wait time, Could be expedited much faster but the park will only run one car at a time. Not to mention the station is extremely bland. No decorations at all, overgrown grass everywhere, nothing but a concrete box. It’s more of a shame though that the most iconic coaster in this park is a duplicate and has a clone in Maryland.

Wow, that was . awful….. I have ridden SLCs many times but this was another level of bad. The amount of hard smacking back and forth AND front to back. This ride seems like more of a liability than anything. A matter of time before something goes way wrong. Not to mention they only run one train at all coasters at the park minus Tantrum

I don't quite remember when I rode this. Quite a few years back (I believe 2010 orso), but all I can remember is how extreme uncomfortable this ride w...

I don't quite remember when I rode this. Quite a few years back (I believe 2010 orso), but all I can remember is how extreme uncomfortable this ride was. Fun for sure, but definitely not reridable. It was intense because of its rattle. I do not know if they have fixed this since. If not, I would almost say to try getting a new coaster for it's place. Perhaps get RMC to hybridize and redo the layout. Could always use more RMC's here in Europe. But yea, this coaster was definitely bleh.
