Six Flags Magic Mountain are going to convert their classic wooden coaster called "Colossus" into the world’s longest hybrid coaster that adds two barrel roll inversions and a first-of-its-kind in the U.S. “high-five” element.

Twisted Colossus, the massive makeover is to transform the now-closed 1978 Colossus racing wooden coaster into a 4,990-foot-long wood-steel hybrid ride with two separate lift hills and a pair of near-vertical drops.

Set to debut at the Valencia amusement park in 2015, the Magic Mountain ride is to be built by Idaho-based Rocky Mountain Construction, which has converted a number of wooden coasters into hybrid rides with inversions typically associated with steel coasters.


I think Twisted Colossus will be a cool concept, and it will be great to see a dueling RMC coaster, but I think I prefer Wicked Cyclone over this.

That does look brilliant! Those dueling barrel rolls look like great fun!
