Wow! Some of those photos look great! The one of the dive loop looks fantastic! Is the super structure of the dive loop going to be partially covering the entrance queue to the coaster?

Being that close to the super structure of Goliath will make for some great photo opportunities while waiting in line for it!

You will have some excellent photo opportunities of the first 180ft drop from Camp Cartoon.

^Just as long as there isn't anything blocking the view of the drop and the rest of the ride from that angle from CC. Hopefully not too much in the way.

Well also the tunnel is right next to Spacley's Sprocket Rockets so you could probably get some decent photos or footage of the train dropping into the tunnel.

A video of the Goliath fly over is up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWLUJqtjKeQ

WHOA! That's one big a** drop! I got vertigo just watching it go up to 165 ft. T4P!

There is a reason why the ride is called Goliath.

No kidding... And that near vertical drop. Sweet merciful Jesus!

Goliath will be an EXTREMELY INTENSE ride!

Goliath will be an EXTREMELY INTENSE ride!

Yes it will. It will also be quite compact and short. Just like BTR, it will pack a punch!
That video was quite cool, that mini-copter was a little loud thing! Six arms and rotors and it made quite a racket! But it was cool seeing it fly around the ride area.

[CoasterMike]

Goliath will be fantastic, nothing less!

So, I just checked out the Goliath web cam, If you take a good close look at the dive loop, you can see it being tracked.

[DejaVu2001]

^ I see no track. Just steel I-Beams.

There's track at the apex of the dive loop.

[DejaVu2001]

Not track

[TwistedSTEEL666]

Not track

Oh, I thought I saw two curving parallel lines in the web cam image.
Nevermind.

[DejaVu2001]

Grainy/pixelated webcam image strikes again

[CoasterMike]

I wish the webcam was in a better place so you could see more and there weren't trees and other rides in the way

Has anybody seen the new RMC coaster wildfire? It's opening in 2016 outside of the u.s. Somewhere in Europe. It will be 71 mph have an 80 something degree drop (can't remember exactly what the drop is). They are claiming it will be, "The Greatest Wooden Coaster in the World," it's also going to have 3 inversions, and will be built into a mountain hill. What are everyone's thoughts? It sounds cool and too bad it won't be in the U.S. Will Goliath still be able to impress? Also do you think that sfgam payed RMC to not build anything that surpassed their records? It seems that the stats are extremely close to those of goliath but just a tad short as to not break the record. It will also be Rmcs longest coaster, at 4,000 something feet long.

Where? On LR or on Goliath? I can see Goliath getting sponsored by some kind of Greek yogurt or some other food product.

Wow! This is my first post in forever!!!!
Gotta say, Goliath is looking amazing! Can't wait to ride it
On a side note: Anybody ever been banned from TPR Forum? If so tell me how. (Until I get a forum up for it)
Why? I just did. See SFGAm forum. Gotta stick up for our park. Right?

[DejaVu2001]

^ I was banned 3 years ago for my bold assertion that Iron Wolf never ran 3 trains

As for whatever you did in the SFGAm topic, the TPR moderators already purged it.

Seemed to me like all you were doing was bashing Great Adventure...
I wouldn't have banned you for it but it's not like you were adding quality posts to the thread. Just sayin'.
