| History: | The Colossus has been reprofiled several times since it opened. The most significant reprofiling was in 1979. One very visible change was done in 1991 to a pair of camelback hills on the parking lot side. The valley between the hills was leveled off and a block brake was added. The original track can still be seen below the block brake. |
