Colossus, Steel roller coaster in Thorpe Park, United Kingdom
Colossus features ten complete inversions throughout its 850-meter track, including vertical loops, cobra rolls, corkscrews, and a quadruple barrel roll sequence.
Opening in March 2002, this Intamin-manufactured roller coaster held the world record for most inversions until The Smiler at Alton Towers surpassed it in 2013.
The roller coaster stands within the Lost City section of Thorpe Park, incorporating design elements that reference the mythology of ancient Atlantean civilization.
Riders must reach a minimum height of 1.4 meters and maintain full upper body control to experience the 72-kilometer-per-hour speeds and intense inversions.
The track configuration includes five consecutive heartline rolls positioned just three meters above ground level, creating an intense rotation sequence for passengers.
