Goliath at Six Flags Great America Construction Thread

[Coasterkidmwm]

The kiddie coaster is hilariously small next to it.

[Goku1910]

Even with the ride not structurally complete....It's surprisingly doing test runs.

[Coasterkidmwm]

The upsidedown hill looks slower than I was expecting. Looks like a neat ride though.

Think it'll be a bit quicker with a full train and after the bearings have been worn in properly!

I've been told that the lift will not be so slow later on. I don't have a source on this so take it with a grain of salt.

[TTD03]

Looks neat.

I'm 100% down with how slow it is at the top of that upside-down hill. Looks sick.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Bravo to what I hope is a Dr. Girlfriend and Monarch avatar Grim.

I don't have a problem with the upsidedown hill being a tad slow either, it just surprised me because I was assuming they would make it a heavy positive G section.

Go team Venture!

and Full Throttle, that loop was amazing.

[Turbo]

It absolutely was. If only Full Throttle were longer.

Cool pics! Thanks again @SFGreatAmerica

[TTD03]

Looks cool, now lets see those testing shots!

[Turbo]

Do they only have the top part of the rails orange? That's cool!

[mkingy]

That drop is a monster. Any idea if they're going to landscape over the tunnel or leave it as is?

[Turbo]

They need to if they want more awesome points

[TTD03]

It's Six Flags, typically, the bare minimum is enough.

Raging Bull's half tunnel had gravel dumped on top of a steel pipe so...........probably not.

[Turbo]

That'd be better than just leaving it as a shed lol

Yeah but Bull's tunnel actually ended up looking pretty cool I think, especially for the theme of that area.

Also, GOLIATH IS HEFTY AS F***. Tiepilot and I are going Friday because it's hopefully opening Friday, I hope..... In like two days (hopefully). Omg.

[TTD03]

Hope I can get out there as well soon!

Goliath testing going on. Here's a tiny clip showing it exiting the station

[Coasterkidmwm]

Soooooooo news said the station partially burninated. Welding mishap?
