+E-SHIINE and national lampoon family vacation with younger John Candy:)thank you six flags you listen to all you're fans and redid this classic ride gave it an upgrade unlike a hem #CedarFair with #ThunderRoad at #Carowinds on the east coast:)
I used to own a VHS that had the intro as a preview for this "Go For a Ride" video. It was a video on how to Yo-Yo featuring some guy named the Yo-Yo-Man as he tried to get suspenders from the Yo-Master. I remember this video from like...20 years ago.
The Colossus POV footage shown is not from 1986. In 1986 Colossus Trains were PTC. It was 87 or 88 when the PTC Trains were replaced with those awful devilish Morgan Trains.
Guys, there's a chance this isn't gonna close permanently. Could get the RMC hybrid treatment, or it could close. We don't know for sure until Six Flags announces.
I find it unlikely that Colossus will get the Iron Horse. Because in the last couple years, it seems that RMC does one Iron Horse and one Custom Wooden Coaster per year. In 2013 they built Iron Rattler (Iron Horse treatment) and Outlaw Run (Custom Woodie) and in 2014, Medusa: Steel Coaster (Iron Horse treatment) and Goliath (Custom Woodie). In 2015 its pretty likely that Cyclone at SFNE will get the Iron Horse. So thats already takes the spot for Iron Horse. So I think that yes Colossus will close for good, but....a new RMC Custom Woodie will be built in its place for the 2015 season.
Japorty it would make one hell of a dueling coaster if it got the iron horse treatment. i saw an NL rendering of the coaster and it looked really awesome. it had inversions and everything on it, colossus totally deserves the iron horse treatment.
That looks really fun! I am going to visit the six flags in San Antonio in a few days. There is a Goliath coaster there, But is a different style of it. Not like the one in six flags magic mountain.
OMG! Six flags magic mountain without Goliath, Superman, even that giant sequoia tree isnt there yet and it is gone now... =/ What would be the NEW Ride after colossus? In the SFMM Email news letter, i heard that there will be a new surprise thing later this month... A new attraction introduction maybe ?
According to sfmm newsletter: "Big announcement coming on August 28the and we promise, its gonna be amazing". Soooooo yea, we can all guess what this means right lol
Hey, do you know anything about the new roller coaster that will be built at Hopi Hari, Brazil? You should come to Brazil, we have many roller coasters here, at Sao Paulo (Hopi Hari), it have a indoor roller coaster, an wooden coaster and a looping roller coaster. and Santa Catarina ( Beto Carrero World), it have the Fire Whip (a steel roller coaster), and Tigor mountain (a steel roller coaster too.
Ah, the 80's! Oh what fun we had! No, but seriously, that porn music over the whole ride segment is so funny in retrospect... there was literally NOTHING during the 80's, that a Wha-Wha guitar doing some "Whacka-Chicka" groove couldn't make look cool... Colossus Rocks! RIP!
Goliath is there but it didn't exist in 1986 when this video was shot! Did you read the title?? Goliath opened in 2000... that's why you don't see it. Very obvious reason....

R.I.P, Collosus, this was the first real rollercoaster that I went on when I was six. This hair-raising ride will truly be missed, rest in peace.
I feel so fortunate to finally ride this amazing coaster before it closes.
Rip Old Colossus 1978-2014
I'm so sad. I'm gonna miss that coaster. Rest in Piece colossus.
*peace.
BambooSandwich I hope it won't rest in pieces :{
Click It hopefully it will just become an rmc steel/wood hybrid coaster.
This ride must be record breaking
It was at the time.
Great footage, thanks for posting! Brings back memories.
It looks exactly like American Eagle from Six Flags Great America !
Ik
Right?
SuPra Luis Jr why do YOU have a translate button?!
Is this getting the iron horse treatment or nah because this will be one hell of a ride if RMC touched this ride
Isn't it the one featured in the old series "Step by step"'s opening ?

Yes it is
R.I.P SIX FLAGS COLLOSUS 1978-2014
Just think about how awesome a dueling RMC would be!
So 80s it hurts.
I miss this ride
I rode this ride today! It closes in two days :(
The beginning scene reminds me of the intro of the computer game "theme park" of bullfrog (1994) :)
Rip in peace
I almost cried watching this. :C
Same here :(
The beginning of this video would not be acceptable today...
This is me as the over excited boy.
(Done with fantasy)
"Hey! I didn't feel the drenalyn!! I want my five bucks back!!"

They need to tear down Screaming Eagle at Six Flags St. Louis
That looks really fun! I am going to visit the six flags in San Antonio in a few days. There is a Goliath coaster there, But is a different style of it. Not like the one in six flags magic mountain.

Closed on August 16, 2014.

Omg this was my first ride at sixflags ever :( I went on yesterday 3 times :/
R.I.P.

This footage was actually from 1988 not 1986.
Before Six Flags became Ad City.
Oh if they only knew what the future held for roller coasters :+)
No 1080p?!
sin8800 this is from 1986

I forgot to say that Hopi Hari is building a new steel roller coaster, and will have a mundial record of inversions.
Apparently it got burned so that's why they are closing it
Can some one tell me y it's closing?
From the music in the back ground I would say little johnny was also thinking about the time he found daddy's porn stash.
Ah, the 80's! Oh what fun we had! No, but seriously, that porn music over the whole ride segment is so funny in retrospect... there was literally NOTHING during the 80's, that a Wha-Wha guitar doing some "Whacka-Chicka" groove couldn't make look cool... Colossus Rocks! RIP!
Good night sweet prince ;_;
