Thanks Jes. I will still give most of the credit to Werner though. :)
This picture the "overbanked hill" courtesy of that that site is the best for the overview of it. It's not really much of a turn from the looks of it since it continues in almost the same direction after the banking starts
The feeling it may give might be similar to a fighter jet maneuver when the fighter climbs and banks 90 degrees then banks out of it when trying to elude another jet. (ala top gun)

Don't, Don't Don't believe, Don't believe the hype.
I don't think so, looks authentic to me!

Well, since this coaster is build only 45min driving from where I live, I sure can tell you that it is really there !
The pictures are made by SFH and send evey week to the themepark.nl forum so that the construction site not will be overrun by coasterfans all the time. ( it works..)
You can see also pictures at : http://www.sixflags.nl/e/sfh/goliath.html
It's the parks official site.
