RyanTPM Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Blue looks just as good as i thought it would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Will there be a few fast moving drive tires at the straight section to speed up the train so that it can give some airtime on the bunny hops? If the train goes through the bunny hops with very low speed, it would be pretty pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Those bunny hops are located towards the end of the pre lift, after the train has built up speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Has anyone seen the track for these alleged bunny hops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 The blue track looks a lot better than I thought it would. I also love how close to the ground the track is! Looking good! Me too. It looks like a nice pre-lift section so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) WE HAVE TRACK!!! Â Check out our first photos of Twisted Colossus track installed on the ride! Â There it is! Beautiful smurf blue track! It looks awesome!!! Â Another look at the track. I wonder where it's going to go? Â It's pretty clear the RMC boys have been hard at work ripping apart Colossus! (Let's be honest, it deserved it!) Â Here's an overview of what it looks like from the parking lot. Â One of the final times you'll see the classic Colossus logo on the park signs! Â All boarded up and preparing for a new make-over! Â Another look at the beautiful blue track! Â Yup, one more shot... Â Here's a look at the station... Â ...and the lift hill (or what's left of it!) Â Looks like some RMC stuff covered up over there? Edited September 21, 2014 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasternate Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I wonder when the Twisted Colossus full POV will come out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolocoasterswag Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Still crossing my fingers for duel station - if operations aren't at 1 train per minute, then the green lift hill train will be waiting for a WHILE for the next train to be dispatched.

tarheel1231 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I wonder when the Twisted Colossus full POV will come out... Not official, but someone made a pretty good recreation of TC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIitOUsnIIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I wonder when the Twisted Colossus full POV will come out... Â Hopefully never. I kind of miss the days where the exact layout and ride experience were a little more of a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I approve the choice of "Smurf Blue" as the color of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiCraft2011 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have to say that the track looks pretty nice, though I noticed an unpainted section. If I ever get the chance to visit Magic Mountain, I really want to enjoy Twisted Colossus. Keep it up, RMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveydo5172 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I really hope for a major "makeover" of the station....actual replacement of wood and concrete and queue rails....not just a paint job! Unless of course they are going to tear it all down for a completely new station! Did Rattler and Texas giant get new stations, or just refurbs?

_IntaMAN_ Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) ^^ I'm not sure about Texas Giant, but I know Rattler's got a refurb. Edited September 22, 2014 by _IntaMAN_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSum1_55 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 ^^There is actually a mobius coaster design out there that is popular in Europe that uses the double station arrangement. One of them is at Mirabilandia. Â In order to speed up operations on this, what they should do is have a dual load station Tatsu style, allowing them to load two trains simultaneously, so one is always ready. However, even if they built that, they probably would not use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both got refurbs, and pretty minor ones to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFSTLMO Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I am still confused on how you stay on the same lift hill without going through the station. Does anybody know how that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravity55 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 ^ By using the footings and structure already present. Just look at the TC's layout, then look at satellite image of Colossus. It will make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterlvr Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 i hope they open up the station. it's too cramped in there. with a whole other side, i'd assume they will. but you know what they say about assuming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
