Another week and another Twisted Colossus construction update from Six Flags Magic Mountain. These photos were taken on Sunday, February 1, 2015.

I just can’t get over how open the coaster is in the middle now. There’s virtually nothing there! You have an unobstructed view all the way through to Goliath and Superman:

The most noticeable change this week is that the two tracks have been extended to the top of the second hill:

From here, they will start their transition into the brand new “High 5” element:

Pulling back a bit, you can see that the track will next have a slight dip as it rounds the corner, hitting the High 5 right in the middle of the turn:

The other big change this week is that the first connection has finally been made between the blue and green tracks. This is after the first full circuit, right before the train heads back up the lift hill for the second time:

This is a close-up of the transition point:

Right after the transition, the track angles back up the lift hill:

There’s not much blue track before the transition point, just a short straightaway. Anything prior to this is considered phase three of the track work and will likely be the last of the track to be installed:

It’s hard to see with so much structure behind it, but everything to the right of the stairs and crow’s nest has been removed:

Here’s a little wider shot of the same thing:

I hadn’t noticed it until the structure in front of it had been removed, but there’s still a section of old track left right down the middle:

There are still a few pieces of green track left out front to be installed, and a couple of them have some substantial curve to them. My guess is that these are part of the dip leading into the High 5 element:

There were also quite a few pieces of steel support beams sitting out front. These are just like the cross supports they use under the track pieces, but these were really long, so I have no idea what they will be used for:

If you’re curious as to what’s happening to all of the wood that’s being removed during demolition, you don’t need to look any further than the overflow parking lot. The scrap pile is getting bigger by the day:

That’s it for this week’s Twisted Colossus construction update. Be sure to check back next week for another all new construction update.
