Colossus, UK
From series “The Most Thrilling Roller Coasters in the World”Lenght: 850 meters.
Not far from London, in Chertsey, there is the popular amusement park, Thorpe. Rollercoaster fans from around the world come here in search of new sensations. Colossus ride is among the most twisted in the world. The length of the track is 850 meters; it has 10 turns. One of the most dangerous sections of the track is a double helix and an area of free fall.
There are more than enough options to experience adrenaline rush, as, during their trip, visitors are able to ride upside down and feel the charm of free fall more than 10 times. Thus, it's not surprising that after so many dangerous bends many passengers lose their spatial orientation. The height of Colossus is 30 meters; it is made entirely of steel. Visitors are able to experience all of its features, as the trolley is moving along the track at a relatively low speed of about 65 km/h. Maximum speed developed at some sections of the road is 78 km/h. Colossus has remained among the leaders in terms of complexity of the track for many years.
