Colossus, Thorpe Park's first real roller coaster set within the Lost City. Built in 2002 by Intamin, a company notable for creating unreliable (and dangerous) rides, Colossus is the world's first money extraction coaster, and has been cleverly designed to remove all your spare change, body piercings, belly button fluff, internal organs and small children from your possession. It opened as the world's first rollercoaster in which the track goes upside down ten times. It has surprisingly never stalled with people on it.
