Roller coasters are truly the most underrated pieces of engineering marvels in existence. Everyone only thinks about how fun it might be, or just ride it and think naught more about them, but they are such complex and advanced pieces of engineering. You see wooden trestle bridges being immortalized as "important" and "incredible", but you never see roller coasters like this being praised on an engineering aspect. They are truly incredible. I LOVE roller coasters, and when it comes to the engineering aspect, particularly wooden roller coasters like this one. I always have loved it, and always will!

roller coasters truly are a mathematicians wet dream (at least for me). A coaster is also a beautiful piece of art imho.

All the "scrap" parts and pieces need auctioned off as keepsakes to coaster fanatics. It would be a great fundraiser and would help offset costs to renovate the coaster.

Fascinating.

Fantastic video! El Toro desperately needs this same rebuild, it now has several problem areas that make the ride very uncomfortable. It used to be glass smooth, but not any longer. I hope Six Flags Great Adventure gets their sh*t together with El Toro, the only other Intamin pre-fabricated wood coaster with Colossus.

I’m not one just a truck driver/laborer LOL but I worked on a lot of big jobs and talked with engineers. You need to be very smart for jobs like this though.Personally I like being the guy high up there working on the stuff.

Was just about to ask that when I saw your comment, thanks for sharing :)

I was there on a schooltrip which meant that the park was almost empty. We made like 15 consecutive rides on the Colossos because we could just stay seated as there was no queue

Fyi Colossos is the 2nd tallest wooden rollercoaster in Europe, the claimed height differs between sources, but the manufacturer claims it has a height of 53 meters and I trust their claims over any other. Wildfire at Kolmarden in Sweden has a height of 56 meters, making it 3 meters taller.

GOOD. Works

I heard him say that Nails work loose. What about rib shank nails, custom designed rib shank nails won't get loose. Bolts will work to appear to be loose but it's actually the wood that is changing to make the bolts look loose yet they have Nylock Nuts on them to stay tight.

Its one of a hand full of Intamin Pre fab Wooden coasters. Its a very rare beast.

Unfortunately Heide did not maintain the ride. This was a very time intensive, extremely expensive renovation, that was completely unnecessary. If they had've maintained the ride as instructed by Intamin (the manufacturer), none of this would've happened.

@alecvip7562

Yup. Take el toro for example, its over 15 years old, and while it isn't buttery smooth everywhere, its considerably smoother than most other wooden coasters. That is because great adventure replaces track every off season. The camelbacks are replaced the most often.
