    This Coaster also had a funny nickname:
    Geschlossos ("geschlossen" (german) means closed in Englisch) because of the years where it wasn't operating ;)

    I worked at Heide Park as an operator last year, but I rode Colossos many times before, with both the “Statue of Liberty” theming and the rain forest theming. They didn´t impressed me that much, but the ride itself did! When they announced the closure in 2016, I hoped it would reopen quickly, but unfortunately it didn´t. When I came to work as an operator at Heide Park, I loved all the other coasters for sure, but I always looked to Colossos with a feeling of desire. And then in 2019, I watched the TH-cam video announcing Colossos would reopen on 19th April, and I immediately booked some tickets and went to Heide Park with my friends to ride it again. And I have to say, I´m so glad that they didn´t turn it into an RMC. Of course, it wouldn´t have been bad, but Colossos was perfect just the way it was before the closure, so I think it was the right decision to keep it this way. Greetings from Germany ;)

    Colossos was the first wooden coaster i've ridden. It was an awesome experience. I havn't been in the park since 2013. So i'd love to go there again and ride the refurbished one.
    An RMC makeover would certainly be cool, but i think keeping it as a wooden coaster was the right choice :3
    Btw: The other two i've ridden (Or three, depending on how you count) are Joris en de Draak (Efteling, Netherlands, both sides) and El Toro (Freizeitpark Plohn, Germany)...Specially Plohn is a great Park many people don't know. But they have a nice coaster-lineup including a Mac Rides Big Dipper called Dynamite.

    I would like to visit Germany one day to try out this rollercoaster. I've seen POV videos of it and I must say it looks really fun, both the original and the themed-up version. I can say this is one of the few wooden rollercoasters that does not need the RMC treatment as it seems to already provide all the intense thrills without the need to flip you upside down like so many steel coasters.

    Colossos looks really good, I went to Hamburg in Germany last year when I was just becoming an enthusiast and In the airport I found a leaflet for Hansa park. I didn't know what this park was but I knew I had seen it somewhere. When I got to the hotel room I found your video but I was only in Hamburg for three days! I really regret not asking my grandparents If I could go because Des Schur Des Karnan is one of the best coasters in Europe! The only coasters I have under my belt are UK coasters. I beg my family if we can go to Germany or Spain to ride some of their rides but they don't seem convinced. I don't think they will let me go to America either and it really is annoying that all my friends go to California and Florida and get to ride all of the thrills they have to offer. Sad thing is they are the GP to.... it is really annoying! Thanks for reading my story.

    If we have to scream to win, I would buy a lot of megaphones and attach them to speakers. Then I would grab a bunch of random people off the street, give them the megaphones, and then drag people on the ride. We will all scream as loud as we can into the megaphones killing the giant because of ear damage.
    Best. Plan. EVER.

    After remake it is smooth, smoother than before, it get a little slower i think, cause i miss little negativeG punch at top of hills, but i guess that is better than have it closed or removed, so no complains.

    At the time this coaster premiered the Son of Beast was the fastest, longest and tallest wooden coaster. Since then there was El Toro (which still exists with a bigger drop but not as big a rise above the ground as Colossos). Since then, there have been no more than 4 RMC wooden coasters to beat the speed and drop of this ride. Not only that: El Toro didn't exist until 2006; 5 years later, so there'd be no reason to turn this into a hybrid, except people erroneously thinking this coaster would never come back any other way. It's not as good as 1) El Toro or 2) T-Express. However: Colossus looks better than Balder.

    I just rode it today for the first time and it was awesome, although it's not my type of coaster, the first drop is intense and the amount of airtime is very fun aswell, but I will stick with "Flug der Demonen" (Fly of the demons) to stay my favorite coaster at the park / Edit: I also use the single rider lane and was able to ride the coaster in under ten minutes with waiting and everything included, which is insanely lucky since the normal waiting times were 90+ minutes

      The train can only come to a stop at designated areas of the ride, which in this case is on the lift hill and final brake run. If this happens, guests will be escorted to the nearest exit!

    Just rode it a few days ago, and sadly, I would’ve really liked a hybrid RMC. I find Colossos very lame, the lay-out is just: Hill Hill turn, Hill Hill helix, Hill Hill turn brakes. And the Airtime isn’t even that Great. With Untamed being my #1, i think They needed to convert it.
