Colossus (Thorpe Park)
''Colossus'' is a roller coaster at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, and the park's first major attraction. It was built by Swiss manufacturers Intamin and designed by Werner Stengel as an adaptation of ''Monte Makaya'' in Brazil. Tussauds designer John Wardley adapted the project to include an extra two inversions as well as reducing its height. ''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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=10 Inversion Roller Coaster (Chimelong Paradise) )〕 It retained its title of having the most inversions on any other roller coaster in the world until ''The Smiler'' at Alton Towers took the record in 2013.〔http://www.uttoxeter-news.co.uk/News/Smiler-smashes-Guinness-World-Record-20130510122550.htm〕
Manufacturers Intamin used a similar train style to their Hyper Coaster models which are exposed by removing the sides of the train. This caused problems as riders could lift their legs outside of the train whilst it was in motion. For a brief period in 2002 and 2003 the ride was equipped with metal bars on the sides of the train to prevent this. During 2003 the trains were fitted with new style restraints to prevent riders from doing this and the metal plates were removed.
The roller coaster is located in the Lost City area, in the south-east of the park. The ride is formed of a vertical loop, a cobra roll, two corkscrews and five heartline rolls. The ride's rough theme is the ruins of a recently unearthed Atlantean civilisation. The music for the ride and surrounding area was composed by Ian Habgood and is shared with the roller coaster Colossos in Heide Park, Germany. During planning and construction ''Colossus'' was known as ''Project Odyssey''; both names allude to Ancient Greece, albeit in different ways. In 2009, the ride's lift hill chain was replaced and station area was cleaned of rust. In 2010, Colossus's signs and station were repainted.
