Hey guys, Goliath finally opened this weekend at SFFT. I rode about 22 times, with 10 of those being in the front. It's an awesome ride, especially the amazing view during the drop and the og roll. Here are just some of my pics from the day. Be on the lookout for a full gallery update and even a video on the horizon!

Nice pictures. I like the bright paint job; did it have that new coaster smell? ;)

...hence the wink after my post. Sorry, no more deadpan humor for me today.

There were really no signs of it being old, as everything was refurbished.

Yeah it might just be another BTR, but there's no arguing around the fact that this one is different and has an awesome location. Besides, all BTRs rock anyways.

I find it interesting that most of the B:TR's have 8 car trains, however this one and Batman La Fuga have 7. Did it make much difference Jake?

I honestly felt no difference. It was running pretty fast, but I'm used to Great White which always runs insane. I'll have to compare it to another SF BTR sometime.

The 0g seemed much better than GW's though, I dunno why.

I am now officially annoyed that I moved from Texas. Good TR man.


Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all.
