About Colossus

Colossus was a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, USA. It opened in 1978 and closed in 2014. The ride stood 125 feet tall, dropped 115 feet and reached 62 mph over 4,325 feet of track.

One of the largest dueling wooden coasters ever built, Colossus appeared in the 1978 film 'National Lampoon's Vacation' and was a signature ride for decades before its 2014 rebuild.
