R.I.P. The Colossus

Our favorite amusement park growing up was Magic Mountain. The best ride there, of course, was The Colossus, and we must've ridden it a billion times (only a *slight* exaggeration). I remember waiting in line for it over and over again and never being disappointed in the experience.
Of course, as the years went on, more and more rides came to "top" that extreme fun and I suppose the rickety rick fun of the clickety clackety rollercoaster wasn't as exciting as some of the other "smooth" rides. I'd heard Magic Mountain was going to retire the beloved rollercoaster, but seeing it in flames just breaks my heart, for I have so many memories from that ride. R.I.P. The Colossus. Thanks for all the great times!
