If you have a ticket for the June 1 midnight ERT on Goliath, you can get exit passes at the park. Go to the store where you purchased the Goliath shirt, and they will give you two exit passes for each ticket. I picked up my exit passes at the store near the front of the park today. You can use the exit pass for Goliath, or any other ride. Guest Services cannot help with this.

Official Goliath Thread
^ I believe so. I haven't traded in my ticket yet, but this is what someone posted on TPR.
You need to email the park..... Go to the events page and click the link about Goliath event cancelation. It will give you instructions.
I bet the ride will be ready next week! The person who I was talking to today told me that Goliath will need a minimum of 100 hours of testing.
I was on the lift of Batman this evening and looked over at Goliath and noticed that a train was positioned low on the lift hill and as soon as I got off the ride I saw the coaster go down the first drop! I thought I was crazy because I was not expecting them to test the ride today! I cant wait to see more testing footage within the next couple days! Oh yeah, one of the ride ops at the Dark Knight Coaster said that they are now shooting for a June 12th opening. Obviously nothing is set in stone, but it does seem like a very possible date. Just thought I would share!

I think that was me haha! I got so excited once I saw it!
Now that testing has begun, Is a June 6th media day still possible? I know it's probably not gonna happen but still I'm remaining hopeful! Maybe June 13th media day at the latest or sooner?
Can't live without Roller Coasters!
I think it was you! As for the June 6th media day, I think it is still possible. They should be able to reach their minimum cycle number for testing and have it passed within the next few days. Then again, I'm still not exactly sure what that cycle number is. I still have a little hope that the ride opens this weekend to the public.Founder of http://www.sfgamnation.com

Keep in mind despite the fact that Goliath is testing, the ride is still not structurally complete. It is still missing the last section of lift stairs, and even more shocking, still missing a support in the Zero-G Stall.
They still have to get the second train (red train) on the track as well.
Not June 6th they have already pushed back from that. No official word yet 12th sounds reasonable.

I hope they are testing today like to get some video. Pulling in to the lot now.
Same. I left right before they started testing yesterday.
Nothing happening as of 11:15. Haven't seen anyone around the ride yet today.
Yeah, it's pretty dead. I heard some sort of tool sound coming from underneath the station, but otherwise it's quiet. Hopefully they'll do SOMETHING today, unless they're taking the whole day off...
I doubt they will take today off.
Could they be backstage working on the red train perhaps?
Quite a few workers showed up in the last few minutes. Some are working around the transfer track controls .
I put together the 2 videos to try to have both rides in one video
Credit goes to Bradley Bard and Robert Mitsos for the videos, I just put it together http://youtu.be/ORrhUityZJU
Nice video! Really like the transition between the two videos!  Favorite Coasters I've Ridden:

Stayed till about 4:15 only saw people working on the lift hill.
Also I traded my midnight tickets in and got 2 exit passes for every midnight ticket I turned in.

Can anyone confirm if there was more testing today?
^ I was at the park until around 6, and, as far as I know, there was not testing done today. The last time I walked by the construction site it was a ghost town. But there were a few workers there throughout the day.
Do you think Goliath will be open by June 10th?
I am taking a friend there and she wants to ride it.
