About Colossus
About Colossus
Colossus at Thorpe Park was the world's most-inverting coaster when it opened in 2002, with 10 inversions across its 850m of track. The line-up includes a vertical loop, a cobra roll, a double corkscrew and four heartline rolls in a row. Top speed 45 mph, ride duration about 90 seconds. The compact layout makes it photogenic from almost any angle in the park.
Colossus's hourly capacity is high - typically the shortest queue among the major coasters. Waits commonly stay under 20 minutes on weekdays. Riders who don't like repeated inversions should sit it out: those four rolls in a row are the defining feature.
