Official Goliath Thread
Approved! Yay!!
ok, bye! I dream of the 400ft "Great American SkyScreamer". x
Uuum ..because people are stupid regardless of their education. You can have a PhD and still be dumber than a post.
The locals should NOT be allowed to attend feature meetings! They do nothing but sit there and complain.
The locals are the ONLY people who should be allowed to attend. Why would a town's residents be banned from attending their own town's meetings? What kind of government are YOU running? I'm perfectly fine with people complaining about other people complaining (though it is pretty ironic, isn't it?), but your statement just doesn't make any sense.
^ I agree. The posts above yours is ridiculous in nature along with the one above it.
As much as I love thrill rides, I'm not sure I would want to live next door to a large amusement park like Great America although I suspect my kids would disagree with me. 
An intelligent resident may even have a valid complaint about the park and its plans, and it would be his or her right to complain to the board about it and give their side of the issue. This is what living in a democracy is all about. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
Honestly, the only people who have a right to complain are the people who lived in the area BEFORE Six Flags was built. Anytime after, just stop. You made the decision to live by Six Flags, no one else did. It is the same way I feel when I hear Wrigleyville Residents complaing about Wrigley Field noise, etc. You chose to live in that area, you knew exactly what you were getting into when you moved in. Deal with it, and move along.
But you can look at it this way, if they purchased there house when the park was in the off season then they would not know how loud the park can be when its open. And then they have ever right to speak there mind about it.
Take a look at my YouTube channel all about Six flags Shows and actors https://www.youtube.com/steve0145
There are plenty of other ways in which people have little choice where to move. What if a job required the family to move to Gurnee and they could only afford a home near the park?
^^ There has to be some common sense here. Just because someone moved in during the winter doesn't mean they shouldn't know amusement parks are loud.
Where will we be able to find the webcam for Goliath and when can we expect to see it?
^ Good question and thanks for changing the subject.
 I'm curious myself. I'm sure one of the resident park experts around here can at least offer an educated guess. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
You still don't Have to live in Gurnee. It's not like Gurnee is in the middle of nowhere and the nearest town is in hour away. It wouldn't kill someone if they had to drive 10-15 mins to work. As for the webcam I would expect it to go up soon
They have a right to be there and voice their complaints. They will never actually get in the way but they have a right to be heard nonetheless.
Has anyone seen or heard of any further construction? The last I heard was the initial clearing of the land, but when can we expect to see footers being poured?
People keep asking questions that nobody here is going to possibly know the answer to (except for the lurking Six Flags employees, who won't answer). Just be patient, there will be a link to the webcam posted when Six Flags decides to post one, and they'll start doing footers at some point in the next few months. I'm sure whenever they do, many many people on this thread will be talking about it, nobody is going to miss anything.
Will they be assembling the bents in the ride location or in the parking lot and transporting them to the site?
^ I would imagine that they'd do it on the ride's site, but I'm no expert.
 The back section of fencing along the covered walkway has been removed. Also, the uncovered concrete slab in Picnic Grove Area 6 has been torn up   Excavation with drain pipe  The footers for the base of Iron Wolf's lift were removed this week  The footer in the fence was removed  Overview
Flat as a pancake and ready for an awesome new coaster
Thanks for the picture update Dejavu2001
Now that we know more about Goliath... What will the sport bottles look like? Lol
Thanks for the pics!
I am confused. Based on this pic, going by the stairway up to the station house, it appears the railroad tracks have been removed. Am I looking at this wrong? (I probably am) I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
^ Track is still there and the train is open.
Is the train going to operate during Fright Fest this year? Or are they closing it for construction?
The Railroad will operate during Fright Fest on Saturdays and Sundays only with no theming. I would expect it to operate 12:00-8:00 or 12:00-7:00.
