calakapepe Posted September 8, 2014 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

GamesAndRides Posted September 8, 2014 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
Ride On_17 Posted September 8, 2014 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
WindingSon Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Twisted Colossus, now scheduled to be open by Labor Day 2015. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote
jbum123 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Looks like they moved the video as it was no longer "breaking". It was the one at SFMM. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 More likely, they could only support two streamers at a time... 3 Quote

Gplez90 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Oh no! Lets all boycott amusement parks, for they are unsafe...... My attempt to mock the commenters on Facebook EDIT: Or the massive amount of people claiming insurance fraud 1 Quote
bkroz Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Wow! Looks like the response was swift and effective though! It could've been much worse! 2 Quote
silver2005 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 We're currently playing this in the UC Band, also relevant to this. 5 Quote

silver2005 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Plus, you guys all know how much Six Flags loves fire effects on their coasters. 7 Quote
shark6495 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Wow! Looks like the response was swift and effective though! It could've been much worse!Probably helped there were people actively on site versus over the night or some such 2 Quote
stashua123 Posted September 9, 2014 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
PyroKinesis Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Holy god, that looks dreadful. Luckily they actually had pressure in the hoses, otherwise, well, you know. Quote

jcgoble3 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 This is now the top trending item on Facebook. Cue the clueless comments from the general public. 2 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 EDIT: Nevermind. I didn't like how this post sounded after I posted it. 1 Quote
thunderbeast1968 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I was not aware to a fire on Outlaw Run. I am assuming that it was during construction? Quote
MantisMan Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Sparked by the welders I read somewhere Yep.....tells me steel & wood doesn't mix. Lesson learned? 4 Quote
Outdoor Man Posted September 9, 2014 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? Quote
Hendrick Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 The irony of the Rocky Mountain crew posting the ALS ice bucket challenge video today... in front of Colossus. Video 3 Quote
