It will be the longest hybrid roller coaster in the world. Kingda Ka is the tallest roller coaster on earth45 stories high, thus being closer to the sky than any Egyptian pyramidand also one of the world’s fastest, with speeds that reach 128 mph. The new ride will lengthen the ride to almost 5,000 feet and almost four minutes long. As with the other two height classifications, the term strata was first introduced by Cedar Point with the release of Top Thrill Dragster, a 420-foot-tall (130 m) roller coaster that opened in 2003. Originally designed and built by International Amusement Devices, the roller coaster opened as Colossus, a dual-tracked roller coaster, on June 29, 1978. A 'high five' section where the separate trains will twist around each other through overbanked turns give the impression that the riders can actually reach out and touch each others' hands and the new coaster will have two inversions, which are unusual on wooden-structured rides. A strata coaster is a type of roller coaster with a height or drop of at least 400 feet (120 m).

Nearly vertical at 80 degrees, riders will hit a top speed of 57 mph before taking them through new features unlike any other wooden roller coaster in the world. Twisted Colossus will still feature the same 'racing' dual tracks like its predecessor, but the initial drop will set the tone that this isn't your father's Colossus. It was given an 'RMC conversion' by Rocky Mountain Construction, and re-opened as Twisted Colossus in 2015. Nicknamed the 'greatest roller coaster in the world', the ride opened in 1978, and operated for over 40 years before finally closing in 2014. Colossus was the world's first roller coaster with ten inversions an exact replica, called the 10 Inversion Roller Coaster, was later built at Chimelong Paradise in Guangzhou, China. It was built by Swiss manufacturers Intamin and designed by Werner Stengel as an adaptation of Monte Makaya in Brazil. Rechristened as 'Twisted Colossus,' the new roller coaster will use the original wooden structure that has stood at the park for over 36 years while integrating a contemporary steel track. Colossus was a racing wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Colossus is a steel roller coaster at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, and the park's first major attraction. 1 When it opened on 22 March 2002, Colossus was the first roller coaster with ten inversions and the first major roller coaster at the park. In spring of 2015, the Six Flags theme park will revive the classic wooden coaster with a more modern and thrilling style. Colossus is a steel roller coaster located within the Lost City themed area at Thorpe Park in Chertsey, Surrey, England, UK. Unique elements on the ride like a top gun. You get that trademark ejector airtime that RMC offers, but with a twist. Magic Mountain's Colossus roller coaster will ride once again, as it turns out reports of its death were greatly exaggerated. Twisted Colossus is a very unique coaster.
