Colossus 36-hour marathon on Aug 4 and 5

Picture
Say goodbye to Colossus in a Colossal way!  Six Flags Magic Mountain is hosting a 36-hour coaster marathon on Colossus and they’re looking for riders.  The marathon will start on Monday, August 4 at 9 a.m. and will end at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 5.  If you are interested in participating, please e-mail the park at  sixflagsevent@gmail.com and tell them why you want to be one of the 24 participants in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.  Each participant will receive a Six Flags 2015 Season Pass.  Grand Prize will be four GOLD Passes and extra surprises!

A few key points for the marathon riders:

  • Each hour, riders will ride for 45 minutes with a 15 minute break.  At 3 a.m., the park will move you to the “other” wooden coaster, Apocalypse, for three hours while Colossus receives its regularly-scheduled maintenance.  At 6 a.m., you’ll be back on Colossus to finish the marathon.
  • Riders will be required to sign a medical waiver.  If rider is under 18 years old, support person must be a parent or guardian and will be required to sign the medical waiver on the rider’s behalf.
  • The park will provide regularly-scheduled meals to the riders throughout the marathon. Any special dietary needs are the responsibility of the rider and will be allowed to be brought in.
  • Each participant is allowed to bring one “support” person.  This person will be asked to wait in an area next to the ride and will be available to supply their marathon rider with any additional food and drink throughout the duration of the marathon.
  • Marathon riders will be encouraged to document their marathon experience on social media during the 36 hours.  Prizes will be awarded for best posts during the event.

Additional information will be provided to riders by the park in a follow up e-mail.

Good luck to everyone who applies!

At my age, I cannot even stay awake 36 hours, let alone ride a roller coaster.
Good luck to all who apply!

This sounds like a ton of fun. I wish SFNE did this with Cyclone. Then again, anything more than a few hours on Cyclone would probably give me internal bleeding. Haha.

Please choose me. Born in Culver City, Ca. Raised in the San Fernando Valley. Lived most of my life in Van Nuys, California. It is sad that Colossus is leaving us forever :(. I would love to be part of its departure. It is history in the making.

I was chosen. I'm getting a little scared though. This is going to be a tough one to finish.

I will give it my best, but there is no harm in giving up if needed. They did say no motion sickness medication which may kill me.

Hopefully I will still get my season pass if I don't finish.
