More track continues to be added to the Twisted Colossus transformation at Six Flags Magic Mountain. This week we see new pieces added at both ends. These photos were taken on Sunday, February 8th.

At a distance from the parking lot, it doesn’t look any different than last week:

One of the big changes this week is the work that is being done on a brake run at the very end of the blue track, right before it transitions into the green track and heads back up the lift hill for the second time. You will also notice that some green track has been added above it at the end of the run, as it heads back into the station:

Catwalks and handrails have been added to both sides of this new brake run:

If you look at the green track as it heads back towards the station, you will notice that the final brake run also now has catwalks and safety rails on both sides of it as well:

This is how much track has been added on this side of the coaster. You don’t see a lot of coasters that end so high in the air, with so much kinetic energy still left in the train. Although, I think Full Throttle holds the current record for that particular feature:

Pulling back a bit further, you can see that the green track is nearly as high as this entire end of the coaster structure right before it pulls into the final brake run:

On the other side of the coaster, more track has been added on the second hill. This is a dip in the track, right before both sides roll onto their sides while going through the High 5 element:

It may just be an optical illusion from this angle, but the blue track looks quite a bit lower than the green track heading into the High 5:

This next shot shows the whole picture of both tracks heading up the second hill and starting their transition into the High 5:

You may not have noticed in the previous photo, but take a look at the shiny white wood in the foreground. There is a pit in the ground right here where the old Colossus coaster used to dip below grade. They left the original footers in place and are starting to build up new structure on top of them. If I’m not mistaken, I believe this will be part of the double-down element for the green track. If you look at the white pieces sticking up, you will notice the wave pattern from the structure on the left going to the right.

Here is a cleaner shot of new structure that has recently been built in the existing pit:

This double-down area for the green track is also where it passes over the blue track as they switch sides. Somewhere in here is where the blue track will be down low, under the green track:

Another noticeable change is the addition of the platform underneath the peak of the lift hill. This allows maintenance an area to work on things like the lift chain, gears, and motors:

Here’s a closer shot of the new platform:

From a distance at certain angles, you almost don’t even notice it:

From what we can see of the station now through the stripped down structure, which isn’t much, there doesn’t appear to have been any work done on it yet:

That’s another week of Twisted Colossus construction work. Be sure to check back again next week we’re I’ll have a very special Twisted Colossus construction update for you.
