Colossus is located within the Lost City area of the park and features extensive landscaping, plant life and themeing.
This we definitely feel gives for a fully authentic feel when it comes to immersing the rider into the world the ride’s storyline is set within.
There is also great use of themed structures and buildings as well as good use of area within the rides layout to include a full walkway throughout giving for what we felt were definitely some of the best views of the ride from within the park itself overall.
The queue line is also incredibly well laid out and this means that you are forever teased by the experience to come as the train soars past above your head, the shrieks and screams of riders permeating the air as it does so.
Now, whilst it’s clear that the ride area also used to include water as well, giving for the full illusion of being set within a jungle, this has sadly since been removed which we believe was down to improper filtration and the stagnant odour this created throughout the ride area (this is however just hearsay and not confirmed as being the official cause for it’s removal).
There are also several themed structures and carvings located throughout the ride area too all baltently based around the idea of a lost civilisation feel which we feel only adds to the overall ride experience.
This really does help to create an immersive experience overall, and with a ride theme such as the one given to Colossus this is ultimately essential in creating a lasting impression ensuring guests will want to come back and ride the ride time and time again.
If that wasn’t enough then the amount of shrubbery and plant life that occupies the area will surely lead you to believe you are standing in the middle of a jungle alone!
