The fire was under control shortly after 2 p.m.
The fire at the top of the lift hill at Colossus is now out. The park was closed today and there were no injuries.
Since it opened in 1978, the original Colossus was one of the largest wooden coasters in the world. Its nearly 13-story frame covers 10 acres of land in the park and is a landmark visible to freeway drivers.
