In addition, the station as well as the rest of the area, has a special soundtrack. If they run three trains, like they’re supposed to, the inside line should move at a decent speed, and thus all the scenery should be enough entertainment. The wall includes three large signs that relate to the original and new Colossus! I personally love the line, it has some things to look at, it’s steampunky (even the air-gates have steampunk theming!). The wall is slightly themed with some steampunk decorations. The old left side of the station has been blocked off with a wall. (Look! It’s good looking Scream! in the back!) Where the two lines start to run parallel, the stand-by side will enter the huge switchbacks, as the other line will divide in three (single rider, Flashpass, Handicap), there’s another cool bit of scenery. In the bushes next to the line, there’s some more theming, like this mechanical hat. In the middle of the two lines, there’s a very cool balloon-like steam-punk themed element. Everything got repainted from the old Colossus station, I really like the blue and brown colors they went with! Inside the line, guests will pass by several of the following themed signs related to Twisted Colossus and its transformation from the original Colossus. The TC Logo I hoped to see on the side of the ride’s massive structure is in the fence work at the entrance. The stand-by line enters on the left of the entrance and the handicap access line, the FlashPass line, and single rider line guests enter on the right.
There are many steam-punk themed elements in the line. The line, just as the rest of the Screampunk District, is very well themed. In all honesty, my excitement of this ride makes me want to spit it all out at once, but for the sake of structure, and to stay clear for readers I’m going to write about Twisted Colossus by looking at different aspects! Let’s start with the line. We are totally fine with our audience using our images, BUT ONLY IF credit is given to. – Recently our images have popped up on other sites and forums, awesome that our coverage spreads, not so awesome that no one mentioned where they got the images from.
