Snow on the ground does not slow down construction. If anything, the snow melting is bad, because it will be muddy

I'm not saying that the $5 upcharge for non-season passholders is the best solution, however it is the solution the park is trying out. If people have been coming for years and years to HH, then i'm willing to bet they have a season pass. There really is not a solution that will make everyone happy. Just be patient and see how things play out.

Looks like majority of the bents are built and are just waiting for assembly.
When you get to the top, and you hear that click, you better hang on, because your coming down quick!

Damn, Goliath is coming along nicely, I sure hope to see that awesome new lift hill structure going up soon.

More snow!?! I've just had about enough of that crap, I want the weather to start improving from here on out to April. I sure hope that it misses us.

That's not a solution to the problem they are trying to fix.

Adding a $5 fee isn't much of a solution either. That's just adding another problem for the park guest.

I think it may be getting to that part of the offseason where it is time to make a new topic for "non-Goliath 2014 Changes" :lol:

Anyway, back to Goliath, it appears they are going to start the Dive Loop today

I hope the dive loop goes up faster than the over banked top hat turn did.

Sorry, I was thinking about it but I didn't really think that It would cause this much commotion. Anyway, The Diveloop should be constructed faster because its smaller. Hopefully.

No, the lift hill will be the last thing to go up.

FWIW, it appears as if Outlaw Run at SDC added seat belts to their trains in the off season. I'd be surprised if Goliath doesn't open with seat belts already in place.

So, after the dive loop is completed what part of Goliath's super structure you guys think will begin to go up next? The lift hill? Or another part of the ride?
