Twisted Colossus is a wooden-steel hybrid roller coaster located in the Screampunk District at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It opened on May 23, 2015, and was manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction. The ride replaced Colossus, which closed on August 16, 2014.[1]

History[]

End of Colossus[]

On June 3, 2014, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced that Colossus would be closing forever on August 16.[1][2]

Construction[]

Construction of Twisted Colossus began soon after Colossus' closure. On September 8, 2014, a fire broke out on the ride's lift hill while workers were removing track, caused by welders. No one was injured.[3] On April 29, 2015, Six Flags Magic Mountain announced on Twitter that the ride would open on May 23.[4]

Opening ceremony[]

The opening ceremony of Twisted Colossus and the Screampunk District were held on May 21, with park president Bonnie Sherman Weber as speaker. Builders of the former Colossus were brought on stage to pull a lever, signaling the opening of the ride. The ride was then initially open to season passholders until its official public opening two days later.[5]
