Heartline or Inline?

[edit]

I've noticed there's been a little controversy over the nature of Collosus' twists. I am in favour of them being heartline rolls, since the riders are kept roughly in the centre as the track moves up and around. Head on the sequence of inversions resembles a 'tunnel', whereas an inline twist just looks like a knot in the track.

This image provides a pretty good view [1]. As you can see, the track is circular, keeping the riders at the same level, rather than the twists being 'inline'. 212.188.147.146 (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An Exact Replica?

[edit]

Isn't Colossus the original coaster and the Tenth Ring Roller Coaster the Exact replica of Colossus? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.250.168.120 (talk) 03:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
