calakapepe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Content unavailable.I'm assuming this is the Magic Mountain Colossus? The one that's supposed to be used in their future ride, Twisted Colossus? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamesAndRides Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like It was on the lift hill. It seems like every RMC coaster has a fire (Goliath, Outlaw Run etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wow, I wonder what caused it. Thankfully it's closed. Hopefully it doesn't cause a huge setback in Twisted Colossus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbum123 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like they moved the video as it was no longer "breaking". It was the one at SFMM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Glad no one was hurt. Maybe Colossus wanted to die with dignity and not be turned into as steel rollercoaster? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor Man Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 same topic, different subject.... Years and years and a few more ago- didn't The Beast have a fire at the bottom of one of the hills that caused a section to have to be replaced? I'm talking early-mid 1980's- anyone recall?
