Colossos

At a height of 60 meters, '‘Colossos’' is the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world and significantly higher than its ancient forebear on the Greek island of Rhodes. This ride is gigantic. Belt yourself into your seat and get set to hit the rails from a height of 60 meters. Top speeds of 120 km/h are in the realm of the possible! This ride has a totally smooth feel to it. Like taking a ride on a hovercraft. And when you hit the steepest curve from 60 meters up in the air you’ll think you are flying. This is a 'must' for all coaster fans.

 

By the way, the ‘Colossos’ won a place in the 2003 Guinness Book of Records for being the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world.
