Twisted Colossus, Steel roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, US

The 4,990-foot steel track lies on a wooden frame, featuring dual-track racing sections and two steep drops reaching near-vertical angles.

Rocky Mountain Construction renovated the original 1978 wooden Colossus in 2014, converting its track to steel while preserving the wooden foundation.

The original Colossus gained recognition through its appearance in the 1983 film National Lampoon's Vacation and other television productions.

The computer-controlled lift chains synchronize trains for simultaneous dispatch, enabling riders to experience parallel racing sequences during peak operations.

Two trains can pass through the High-Five element simultaneously, tilting inward at opposing angles while racing on parallel tracks.
