I was there on the 9th of July.....Grrr.

I was hoping to be there at the same time to maybe meet you guys. But I was travelling with my friends family and I couldn't just ask when to go where. And also, we were in Alicante, not as if it is beside the park.

Anyway, I loved this park!! I really like the drop tower.

When you were there, were they only operating 1 train on each coaster? The queue for Magnus Colossus took ages with only 1 operating.

Great update!

Just a quick question... did the double dip first drop provide any decent air on Magnum?

"Magnus Colossus" would be a great name for a condom.

Hello! I'm not an actual Greek God, but I do play one at a Spanish theme park. And when I need "protection," I always reach for a Magnus Colossus! Stronger than Hercules! More pliable than Hera! The Official Prophylactic of Mt. Olympus!

The last comment in the video pretty much sums up my experience on Magnus Colossus: "Nothing happened"

Its really a shame that they didnt build a better coaster in such an amazing location! :?r

If you were in the back car it had a little airtime.

Let's see.....

Bandit - Movie Park Germany
Coaster Express - Parque Warner Madrid
Magnus Colossus - Terra Mítica
Montezum - Hopi Hari
Son Of Beast - Kings Island
White Canyon - Yomiuriland
Rattler - Six Flags Fiesta Texas
Twister II - Elitch Gardens

So it would appear that the answer is "No"...."No they haven't made a good coaster worth mentioning."
