It's hard to tell but are those black belts I see on the seats? Doesn't matter though. I rode Outlaw Run with seat belts a few weeks ago and it didn't affect the ride whatsoever.


It also looks like they put on a hand bar on the outside of the restraints that Outlaw Run does not have. Should make it easier for ride ops to check restraints and give riders something to grab onto if they feel the need.

There's got to be! The ride is scheduled to be topped off soon.
I think it will be topped off by the end of the week!

Looks like a pretty good week for construction. Only bad day is Friday which currently has a 70% chance of thunderstorms, some of which may be severe.

I have full confidence in RMC getting it done before the storms roll in on Friday.

The storms are supposed to hit during the late afternoon into the evening. They will still have the majority of the day to work.

For everyone wondering, these goliath videos are done in a pattern (Every two weeks). If they were to have one at anytime, it's going to be this week. Also Kossdude1 mentioned the twitter thing which is 100% correct. I suggest for all who have a twitter to go check that out and if you have some sort of question you want answered just tweet it out with the hashtag #Goliathinsider. So to answer everyone's questions, yes, there will be a Goliath Insider this Friday.

The height restriction is most likely 48 inches for anyone who's wondering haha. It says so on the updated park map.

I thought the trains for Goliath were red, not orange. Maybe one train will be red and the other orange.

Yes, I can't remember when it was but the park said one train will have a red inside and the other (as seen in the photo) will be orange.

I like it how everyone here will nitpick on every single detail on Goliath and SFGAm, no matter how small a detail, we will nitpick it endlessly. I guess that's what separates the GP and coaster enthusiasts.
I guess for us spending a whole day with RMC or B&M would be like a dream come true. LOL....:)
