This Ferris Wheel gives wonderful views of the park. It moves very slowly so you'll want to ride it in between the more intense coasters because you will be on it for awhile. It has a cage style gondola, so it is harder to get pictures of the landscape, but the cage does make me feel safer from the wind.

Enjoy a tranquil ride with amazing views of the park. You can see all the rides as you get towards the top. It moves so slow it doesn’t even feel like it’s moving. There’s a nice breeze too! This is the perfect spot if you want to sit down for a bit.

Colossus is a giant ferris wheel that is constantly moving! It's a slow twelve minute ride, allowing you to see all the cool sights of the park. Great views of all the other rides, the construction, and the beautiful scenery around the park. They don't put people in every gondola anymore, it's like every fourth one or so. I really with they'd put the clock face lights back up!

This enormous ferris wheel does a good job avoiding one of the biggest potential problems with ferris wheels: a HUGE wait to get on and off. The staff are actually pretty efficient about loading and unloading so you don't feel like you've just become a prisoner for hours. The ride itself isn't too different from other large ferris wheels, but it is admittedly cool to get a bird's eye view of the park and all the rides.

Colossus certainly dominates the skyline over Six Flags St. Louis. You can't miss the nearly 300' wheel as you drive up to or past the property. The ride is enjoyable and smooth. I've enjoyed riding this wheel many times over the years.
