Official Goliath Thread

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Someone at the park just tweeted me telling me the ride is testing. Can anyone confirm? The webcam is down so we can't see anything. I know they were raising the transfer track earlier today.

Confirmed

Looks awesome! The zero-G stall seems like it hangs you upside down forever (I do realize early testings usually travel slower until the train gets warmed up).

Good point also there is no weight (AKA people) in the train which makes it slower. I also noticed that it is so quiet! Only two words describe this for me, Can't. Wait.

I think Goliath will have some extreme ejector airtime over that airtime hill.

All I can say after watching the videos is: WOW! I'm very happy to see that Goliath has started testing, hopefully it will be open next Sunday. I just can't wait to ride my first RMC coaster! :D

Kind of off topic but because Goliath is the worlds fastest steepest and tallest drop on a wood coaster, it won't be long before Cedar Point tears down Mean Streak and builds a 300 ft RMC coaster since CP likes to build only record breaking coasters.

I highly doubt media day will get completely cancelled. Only delayed.

^ If you got your ticket from buying a shirt, take it to the store you bought it from to trade it. Not sure what you have to do if you got it from an event.
