TyRush Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Its a shame i hear all this about the park. Over the past couple years i have wanted to fly out west and maybe visit SFMM but now all the talk here seems as if they dont keep it nice. Now i know im not too interested in things in a park other than thrill rides, however, i wouldn't want to spend all the money and visit the park hearing all this.

Every time I read these post or anything on MM (which is typical negative) I'm turned away from this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's not exactly the Pebble Beach Country Club, but it's worth it for a day's visit. It shouldn't be the focal point of an entire trip though. Take a day out of your trip, head up north, visit the park, head back south in the evening. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 2014-2015 - Colossus Refurbishment - (1/10/13) Screamscape sources tell us that management at Six Flags Magic Mountain may have received early confirmation that Colossus will be tapped to be the next Six Flags coaster to get the Iron Horse treatment following the transformation of Rattler to Iron Rattler at Fiesta Texas this year. No word yet on just how much will be changed, but the iconic support structure is expected to remain essentially the same. If true, look for Colossus to go away forever before the end of the year, though it seems like the park may try to promote the final days of Colossus rather than just quietly shut it down, so you may get some early warning. www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_magic_mountain.htm Screamscape.

MrSum1_55 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If this is true, I am excited. Actually, the fact that the park may be getting something non-gimmicky actually excites me more than how good the ride experience could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I really want this to be true! Since the early rumors in 2010 after NTaG was completed, I've been really hoping that Colossus would get IBox. Hopefully!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can see them doing something gimmicky somewhere on this just to take the record away from Outlaw Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If they're going to do a gimmick element, might as well do a high-five element right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I just got all excited! I'll be getting to try the other RMC coasters this summer but from what I've heard and seen of them, I think this would be amazing to have in California! We might finally have a really good quality coaster/airtime machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYZ Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I am a bit of a fan of Colossus, though Iron Horse Colossus would be amazing. I would love to see SFMM with an airtime machine and this would be perfect. It will be interesting to see what the new layout will look like. Â If this does actually happen in 2014, I'll definitely re-new my pass for 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 *pinches arm* Yeah, I'm still in California. Â And I'm reading that something cool might be happening to a wooden coaster in California. Â I bet I'm dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 How can they change Colossus!? It's so original and unique. I mean SFMM is the only park Walt was ever around to see.... Woah, what the hell just happened to me? Sorry about that. Â It'll be interesting to see if this is true. Will they stick with 2 tracks or use this as an opportunity to quietly remove one? It's got a pretty tame layout right now so I'd be interested to see how RMC would fix it up and make it more thrilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 What about a dueling RMC iron horse coaster? It sounds plausible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If its a dueling coaster still, then maybe we will see six train operation again like in the old days! Â But seriously, the right side of Colossus hasn't been run for over a year. Since November 2011. The left side has been running ever since. They only have three trains that they can operate at the moment, though, and one is freshly refurbed. Â It also sounds like if this Colossus refurb is true, then I guess we will have to say goodbye to Colossus Backwards. Unless they run Iron Colossus backwards. That would be interesting.

Unless they run Iron Colossus backwards. That would be interesting. Â It would make for a really interesting ride, but in all honesty i'd say that we'll never see it happen again. Who knows, crazier things have happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11slataus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Seems like good news for the park. Colossus has a much more "standard" layout than Tx Giant or Rattler, so I can't see as many changes being made as with the other two, however it still should go over well. I really hope the park stays away from inversions, though. I know looping woodies (or woodie hybrids) are all the rage now, but this park is set on inversions for a long time already.
