GayCoasterGuy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Ok I got. Twisted Sisters. Kentucky Kingdom tried that years ago and were sued out of the name. Twisted Twins were originally called Twisted Sisters. The ride will be based on Dee Snider and his band Twisted Sister. Maybe if there was some sort of a complicated deal with the corporation that owns the band name. But even then, I think it would be completely lost on 99.9% of the Six Flags YOLO crowd. Nothing says yolo like Dee Snider. Dee Snider rocks and is super cool. Yolo is super annoying. But I get what you're saying Going through some old Magic Mountain footage and I found this! I think this might be one of my favorite "old school" coaster clips. It's just so cheesy, borderline creepy, and the 80s porno music just makes it AWESOME! Check it out... I still have that VHS buried in a box somewhere! It is very cheesy... but awesome to watch at the same time. If you had coaster friends (remember, this was pre-internet), there were home made tapes going around, so it was nice to have something produced with half way decent quality (minus the creepy content). I think most of the coasters were sped-up in the POVs! Edited August 16, 2014 by GayCoasterGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbt Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My guess is Ultimate Colossus. Why? -Well, today Robb posted this video titled "Ultimate Colossus ..." Robb has inside knowledge into the amusement industry. There are 3 pov's of Colossus in the video. Robb previously worked in the video game industry. There are 3 'S's in Colossus Now what does this mean - Ultimate Colossus and Half Life 3 CONFIRMED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willthegolfer Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Dueling Colossus. Why? Well, this is Six Flags, they've really got two types of ride names lately. Either thinly-veiled racism (Zumanjaro, Kingda Ka) or blatantly obvious (Iron Rattler, New Texas Giant). Or if neither of those work, they just go with Goliath.

JeromyL Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm surprised that nobody has noticed the obvious...... It will totally be called Yahoo Launch. That way we will have YOLO coaster and YaLa coaster. Boom! Highfive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brassinthegrass Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I really want to see all... 10 of these supporters standing out front... Please post the news videos when they come out...

I bet there going to say that they were successful in saving the ride... *facepalm* Edited August 16, 2014 by Brassinthegrass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GigaG Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Apparently, SFMM is handing out buttons to the first 5,000 people through the gates that say "I got my last ride on the big woodie." Wow. On another note, TPR's Twitter is complaining that the ride is only running one side on its final day. Hasn't the other side been left to rot since 2008 or so?

KBrylczyk Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 ^ Not surprised at all that they're only running one side. That's the Six Flags way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill182 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Sorry if I've missed this, but is the rumored Sunday passholder event of thing? I'd like to get one last ride in, but I'm not sure I want to battle the long lines there seem to be today (TPR's Twitter is claiming over 2 hours!).

Xmeister Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think these folks forget that if it weren't for the rumored Iron Horse treatment the ride is supposed to be getting, we likely wouldn't have any form of Colossus at all soon enough.

StuckInSD Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Since this is SoCal, I could honestly see this coaster get Iron Horse treatment and be called Colossal Cred. ... with dueling trains Hella and Swag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RissaBooBissa Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 hmmm... there's two tracks... Racing Colossus! LOL. One can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 hmmm... there's two tracks... Racing Colossus! LOL. One can dream... They already did that and obviously this park cannot maintain a coaster with two tracks, both of them working all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplemoverMatt Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I still don't get what exactly they're trying to save it from. Save it from improvement? From running like it should? From not looking like an utter disgrace with one side totally rotted out and unuseable? From that ridiculous flattened out camelback ever being restored? Are they trying to save us all from having a huge, brand new, top of the line, insane-looking, very attractive-looking insane RMC coaster similar to SFGAm's Goliath, or Iron Rattler or New Texas Giant? A spectacular ride that would impress today's audiences in much the same fashion as the original Colossus impressed audiences of the 1970s? Is that what they are here to prevent? That's what it looks like to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 ^ Not surprised at all that they're only running one side. That's the Six Flags way! Well, they've been letting the other side rot for years IIRC. This was inevitable. They can't fix it just now. The problem has been there for a long time.

That's what it looks like to me. Exactly! I don't think these people get it. Sure, Colossus may be sentimental to them but look at the state it's in now. Really there are only 2 things that can be done, tear it completely down or improve it. Personally I like the improve it idea better. And who knows, maybe just maybe, these same people will love the new ride even better. But it looks like they don't want a huge, brand new, top of the line, insane looking very attractive coaster, they just want to keep the crap that is Colossus now. Yeah, I love Colossus too, I have great memories riding it as a child. But it's time for this change, time for it to evolve into something new and spectacular, something that will bring the crowds back to it..... it's time.... NOW! Doesn't make sense. Or maybe they are just attention whores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Somebody on TPR's Facebook said Side A has already been gutted - metal strips on the track have been removed near the brake run and the brakes have been removed.

Superbatboy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Though I'm ready for the RMC conversion, I'm kinda sad this is Colossus' last day. I still remember how huge the ride seemed as a kid and being terrified the first time I rode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
