"I have a few minutes to write my full thoughts on Twisted Colossus. \n  \nI'll preface my review that I have never anticipated a coaster more than this one. I've been waiting for this to happen to Colossus ever since I saw the first drop on New Texas Giant being constructed. I remember at a WCB 4 years ago that some of the management had flew to Texas and LOVED the coaster, so I knew to sit patiently and wait for California to finally receive the airtime machine that they had desperately needed. Then the clues started piling in and the announcement came, 18 moments of airtime, I was beyond excited! Watching for the past nine months have been grueling, but I knew my patience would pay off. I had my first chance to ride Twisted Colossus yesterday, and it was absolutely everything I wanted/needed it to be, California FINALLY has a \"Top Tier Coaster\"!  \n  \nNow for my ride, when they say \"18 moments of airtime,\" it is NOT an exaggeration. There is so much time out of your seat on this ride, it is anything but dull. Each first drop is very similar, pure ejector all the way down in the back seat. There's a \"kink\" on each drop where it slightly turns right and it's quite interesting to feel that turn while being ejected out of your seat! The small pop after the drop is exactly that, just one split second of airtime (similar to the small pops on GCI coasters, but stronger airtime). Then comes the hill into the high five... you have sustained airtime everywhere in the train, but especially in the front! The green side is even crazier because of the bank that you enter while still being ejected. The high five is strange, but in a good way! The blue side is neat, definitely slightly mellower than the green, you feel like your sideways for SO long. The green side of the high five is insane, you are ejected sideways towards the blue side, it's ridiculously quick, like the I305/Maverick transitions! The double down is great too, whipped through the element VERY fast. But the blue drop under the double down is a true highlight of the ride, in the back row you are out of your seat for a very sustained amount of time. In fact, this part of the blue side is insane with ejector airtime, after that drop, you get a nice/small pop of airtime into the full airtime hill under the stall. This hill felt like an El Toro hill where your are purely ejected the WHOLE time, amazing! The stall on the green side is amazing to, a very strange feeling and probably the most comfortable \"hangtime\" I've felt on a ride, just really smooth. Next was the blue zero-g roll which was very good, very fast, and had a unique turn going through it (you'll be able to tell once a POV comes out). I wish B&amp;M still made elements with transitions this fast (the zero-g felt as fast as Kumba's). Finally on the ride, we had the double up and the outward bank. The double up had decent pops of airtime, not very sustained, but still amazing. The outward bank is best in the front, kind of an odd element, just one more example of TC trying to throw you out of the train! The coaster as a whole is very smooth, but with all the quick transitions (\"twisty-ness\") it can throw you around a bit, I had to occasionally brace myself a bit. The dueling was great too, a lot of fun to look at the other riders, another level of uniqueness to the experience!  \n  \nThe ride is seriously amazing you guys. It completed exceeded my (very high) expectations. I couldn't have asked for more (which is something that SFMM is guilty of... Full Throttle...). If you live in California and haven't travelled outside and experienced real ejector airtime, you NEED to ride this, like NOW! It's without a doubt, the BEST coaster in the state, absolutely amazing! I can't wait to hear more reviews, especially from people who have ridden more coasters than I have. \n  \nFor anyone wondering, Twisted Colossus comes in at #4 on my favorite steel coasters. I have a clear preference for Intamin coasters, but now it looks like there's a new company in town that can compete with them! I need to get out to SDC, the Texas parks, and Mexico to get on more of these RMCs. They're insane! \n  \n1. Intimidator 305 \n2. Bizarro \n3. Skyrush \n4. Twisted Colossus \n5. Millennium Force \n6.
