Alright now that some have ridden Goliath let's get this started to see if it jumps to the top of the standings or not. Do not vote in the poll unless you have ridden every SFGAm coaster including X-Flight and Goliath.
(they are in order by most recent.)

I have to say, I was pretty impressed. With that drop and those inversions, it's got to be Goliath. Also, I kind of find this funny because barely anyone liked Iron Wolf so this use to be the area of the home of the least popular ride, and now that a lot of the GP have been on Goliath, it's area is home to the most popular ride.

REALLY close call between Goliath and rb. Both have problems, both have awesome elements, but I have to say Goliath. It has amazing elements with no 'blank' elements, due to all their rarity(dive loop on a woodie, ejector airtime at Great America, zero g stall, 85 degree drop, etc), and is just an overall great ride.

I say Batman the Ride is the best. It was Déjà Vu but since it was removed BTR is the best coaster to me.

Goliath is the best coaster in the park by a huge margin!

Goliath just blows away anything currently at the park. Not to mention, the other contenders for this are getting old and have gotten a bit rough.

Obviously, based on this data, the Coaster Survival wasn't very fair or not everybody has ridden Goliath. This has Goliath blowing away everything. :roll:

It seems like the other side always wins on American Eagle :?
Also, I've ridden Goliath 23 times in one day. HBU? :roll: :P

As it should. It is soooooooooo much better than every other coaster in the park. Don't get me wrong, I love all our coasters, but Goliath is just an amazing experience!

Goliath makes me smile and laugh from start to finish. My favorite is to ride along with someone who hasn't been before and see their expression after the break run, priceless! Goliath is the best in the park...kinda makes me feel bad for raging bull but its time. :)

I can sincerely say that Goliath made a grown man cry. I felt bad for the guy as he was trying to use his hat and glasses to hide his terror from his wife and daughter :(

Nonetheless, it is still the greatest coaster in the park :lol:

Absolutely 100% Goliath. Never thought a ride at SFGAm would have a stronger airtime moment than Viper's double down.

Never came off a roller coaster shaking before until I rode Goliath. Just hits you repeatedly and doesn't let up.

I've never had it that bad. However Goliath is the only coaster that makes me yell. I choose to on the other coasters. I just can't keep quiet during the drop.

Seriously, I have never been on a ride that gets better the more I ride it. I first ranked Goliath at maybe the 15th spot in my rankings, but the more I ride it, the better it gets. It now sits at number 6, ahead of Millennium Force and behind El Toro, though Goliath is getting close. Seriously, one day I ride it and its the drop that takes my breath away. Next time I ride it and its the zero-g-stall that takes my breath away. The last time I rode it is was the pure intensity that has stuck in my brain. There is always something new that I realize about the ride that makes me love it. Also, I'm getting a lot more airtime on the last few overbanks than I did the first time I rode it.
1. Bizarro 2. Expedition GeForce
3. X2 4. Top Thrill Dragster 5. El Toro 6. Goliath (SFGAm) 7. Millennium Force 8. Silver Star 9. Apollo's Chariot 10. Goliath (SFOG)

I'm not gonna lie the first time I rode it I was a little nervous cause heights freak me out a little but after that ride started it was nonstop action and I found it was pretty fun from like the 6th row. Then the next time I did I rode last row and it was basically an ejector seat because then back was trying to catch up to the rest of the train and since then I always ride back and is now my favorite ride
