Less than 48 hours to go! Screamscape put up an interesting report on Twisted Colossus. I'll just say he wasn't wrong about Full Throttle back in 2012!

^prior to the closure of colossus, someone took a video showing new wood stacked next to colossus

That's not what I am saying.

^ too weird to market it having the most inversions. I can definitely see them go for the tallest and fastest.

The classic colossus page has been taken down. They know that we know.

^ Alan Schilke said at IAAPA last year that he wants a lengthy ride that people can go on for a long time. Sounds like what we're getting with Twisted Colossus

^ not sure if anyone really wants to ride green lantern as their first ride of the day. I would do full throttle-> green lantern -> x2. Maybe sneak in a ride on Lex Luthor while you're at it

Alright! So RMC colossus confirmed! I know it was obvious for years now but those links are the first official piece of confirmation from six flags. I'm happy. And if the original guy with the "sources" is right, then itll be the longest RMC. Good luck filling that with inversions only, it sounds like an airtime machine!!!! Don't kill my hype Rob! I'm so excited!

Goliath looks like it could stop 5 seconds earlier and still pack a punch. I don't know how those folks at Great America are not having their minds exploded by that ride.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would definitely call it Vagina. Edit - Ooooo, "Colossal Vagina" would work! I'd just have to clarify if I'm talking about the ride or my ex girlfriends. TAKE THE TUNNEL!!

They better give us something dam good after losing colossus. Just call it Mega Colossus and I'll accept whatever it is. Edit- in all honesty though my hopes are that ride is a gigantic bowl like structure with a mix of airtime hills and a variety of inversions. Like zero g rolls along the outside and maybe a vertical loop on the inside and have it all littered with hills twists and crazy elements. It would be an amazing spectacle from the parking lot.

What exactly has this source revealed before? I'd like to see some evidence. If not then we'll just see in 4 days any way.

Twisted colossus sounds like what we should be getting. A wooden coaster with a heavy focus on inversions rather than airtime. Although it's RMC! Maybe they'll sneak in some airtime for us. Also, twisted colossus doesn't have the same ring to it as Iron Colossus. It almost sounds insulting to the ride and people who loved it. It's "twisted" now -_-

I want to say that X2 at Magic Mountain is the most overrated roller coaster...but then I don't. The reason I want to say that it is overrated is because it's just so short and they didn't get as creative with the design like they did in future 4D coasters. Buuuuut then again the ride is just such a great experience. Every second of that ride is an unforgettable moment that no other coaster can match. For example, after you've ridden, say, Nitro a couple times and you're going up that lift hill again...you're kinda just like "oookay come on lets do this..get to the top!" whereas on X2 the experience you get is always something engaging. Even just the wait for the ride to start is fun. I feel like that is what makes the ride such a favorite among the GP. All those intangibles that other rides just don't have. The intense raven turns, the music (sometimes), the fire, staring into the sky knowing you're about to plummet straight down, catching a breather on that turn...but if I were to be really critical I'd say the ride itself doesn't match up to the fun of Tatsu, which is a ride that feels much more complete and well paced.

This might be a bit off topic but when I went on the Texas Giant recently they said my girlfriend couldn't get on because her clothes were too thick. I was a little confused it was a very thin jacket although we suspect they meant she was too large to ride. Is it likely similar rules will be enforced on Iron Colossus? I want her to experience the fun of a RMC!!

^the hell!????

Watching all that old footage is starting to creep me out

I'm down with that.

It is safe to assume that whatever they decide to add for 2015 it will be a world's first/tallest/longest/fastest/biggest SOMETHING.

Not confident at all. I'm like 99% sure it's all gonna be knocked down and they are going to re-locate Bugs Bunny Land into Colossus' old spot. That sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm expecting the ride to be brown instead of the classic white. My main reason being is that will be the best way for the ride to be marketed as something new to a lot of the GP who will see a white wooden ride and say "Colossus is still open!" Isn't that why they changed the X2's paint as well?

To be fair, the list also includes "Bobsled" and "X3". You can make a million predictions by picking out words from that list.

Yes I have seen NTAG in person. It's personal preference really.

I can definitely see that happening! If they do that before the announcement it's going to be a total ****storm of controversy and speculation. And on more of a personal note, I hope the ride doesn't look ugly and Popsicle Stick-y like the other RMC coasters.
