Official Goliath Thread
So I have what may be a dumb question, but I am finally going to GA on Wednesday so I can ride Goliath. I have read a few posts referring to "grouping" while in the queue. My question is if there is like a separate line once in the station for the front row?
^Yes! There is a separate line for front row on Goliath. Have fun! You will LOVE it!
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I have already warned my group that if we have to wait for hours, we will be! It looks amazing and am sure it will be.
Here's a little update on the single rider line. I tried it on Sunday waited the temporary que and was then given a lanyard that said single rider. Then I was placed in the sixth row next to a broken seat. Still waited about a hour and a half.
I heard from the ride operators that using the single rider line can save you from waiting another hour.
Well I must say, you know how I was a bit disappointed in Goliath at first? Scratch that. The first time I rode the thing I did not really notice just how great that drop was as well as the zero g stall. But I have ridden it four times since then. That drop in the back is ejector, but not in a way that chucks you out like El Toro. Its just so steep that you are hard pressed on the restraint and out of your seat. In the back, its amazing. In the front, its also amazing. The overbanks are also much more thrilling than they were the first time to me. The Twist and Shout is actually really fun in the front as you get pushed into it and you get good air. It actually does feel a lot more out of control the more I ride it also. Its sideways, airtime, upsideown, sideways again. Its really awesome.
Yeah, I must have been tired or something the first time I rode it  .1. Bizarro 2. Expedition GeForce

I'm going tomorrow with a few friends and none if them have ridden Goliath yet. Anyone else going tomorrow?
Have fun! You will LOVE Goliath! Just about everybody who had ridden it will say the same thing! It's a GREAT ride!
We should go left at the carousel to get to Goliath right?
Yes, through Orleans Place. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk  Join the SFGAm Fan Discord! https://discord.gg/bNrTj9P The Voyage | Goliath SFGAm | Skyrush | Maverick | Viper SFGAm | Outlaw Run | Thunderhead | TTD | Lightning Run | Thunderbird
When I was at the park yesterday, I was told by one of the ride operators that the overflow que line will likely stay for the rest of the and when it's not needed, they'll just close it off.
Rest of the what?
Reasonable assumption leads me to believe that he meant the rest of the season.
My friend really enjoyed Goliath! Unfortunately we didn't get into the park after it opened so we had to wait about 2-1/2 hours for Goliath.
How did you enjoy it?
Actually I've ridden Goliath already. My first time on Goliath was on the day it opened and I really enjoyed it. Easily my third favorite coaster in the park behind BTR and RB.
I read on TRP that you now get two rides on Goliath with the PLatinum Flash PAss instead of one. Can anybody confirm that?
Thanks a lot.
That's what I overheard in the FP Processing Center, two weeks ago. Check out my Coaster vids
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_o4Mtg8LDHpRuK7rRKMdAQ It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle  Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU?   (Sorry in advance for unnecessary commas and parenthesis every where)
^ ^^
You do get two rides on Goliath with the Platinum Flash Pass. My brother and I had Platinum Flash Passes last Friday and was surprised when the worker at the Flash Pass processing booth said that we would get two rides. It was a great surprise.
Hey guys
I'm going to SFGA next week and I'm a bigger guy (6'1" 290lbs 44 pants size) and am concerned I won't be able to ride Goliath. Any other members have any experience with this? Thanks!
You will be fine I'm 6'3" 320 LBS and just fit with a little pushing me in. Great America Visits
2008 = 2 2009 = 26 2010 = 33 2011 = 17 2012 = 8 2013 = 4 2014 = 3 
Thank you! I can't wait to ride! Did you have any issues on other rides?
Yes I can't fit on Batman:TR. V2, Revolution, and Giant Drop. Great America Visits
2008 = 2 2009 = 26 2010 = 33 2011 = 17 2012 = 8 2013 = 4 2014 = 3
Just wondering, has anyone come up with an average capacity for Goliath per hour? I know the theoretical is around 800, but I'd be interested to know how many people it's actually moving through because its dispatch times have been pretty terrible my last few visits.
