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.
