Twisted Colossus to Open May 23

April 29, 2015, 12:30 PM · Six Flags Magic Mountain announced today that the opening day for Twisted Colossus will be Saturday, May 23.

Twisted Colossus

The steel re-top of the park's wooden Colossus will be the world's longest hybrid coaster, as it blends both of Colossus' former sides into one, continuous ride.

Twisted Colossus

Trains have been mounted on the track, and the park ran its first test drop last night. Two-train tests are expected to start within a few days.

Twisted Colossus

A media preview will happen earlier that week, which will be a busy one here on Theme Park Insider, with the premiere of the Justice League ride at Six Flags Over Texas on May 19 and the kickoff of Disneyland's 60th anniversary Diamond Celebration on May 22.

Just got word that the Laff Trakk media opening will be on May 19th, as well. It's the #BestWeekEver!

I think not :) They all look great though, but I think TC has unique elements that we haven't seen on the other RMCs... that low airtime hill after the drop, and the green track going into/out of the high-five, and the green double-down .... ridiculous!!!! :)
