"Goliath" for S.F.O.Gerogia?

Want blueprints? Look at the original topic on SFOG construction.

Like the name, like the color scheme (assuming it's the blue/yellow from the press leak). Well done.

Looks like the plans are gone. Does anyone save a picture of them, if they did can you please PM me and ask where I can get them.

The pics with the blueprints overlayed onto an aerial photo of SFOG are on Screamscape.

Remeber when the Hydra blueprints were leaked, is there any photos of the Goliath blueprints of that quality.

Oh no...Six Flags might be recycling a name! Its a good thing Cedar Fair, Paramount, or Disney would never try something like that...

The "..." indicated the sarcasm quite well for me. If someone has to put a "Hi, sarcasm called and left a message on CoasterBuzz" for certain people to realize what it is, that's sad.

About the coaster, I'm just thrilled that a hyper coaster is finally coming to the southeast. About the name, I think Goliath is great and I have no problems that there is another coaster named Goliath on the opposite side of the country or overseas. Most people don't seem to care that PKI has a "Raptor" too.. ;)

I am 2 hours from SFOG. I can't wait for the new coaster. I will be there every couple of weeks.

For anyone doubting that the Gasp was going to the scrap heap, check it out for yourself here.

I'm just never going to get to ride one, am I? :(

Wow they're really trashing Gasp. Wish I could have one of the parachutes and carriages. I mean it looks like they're just going in a dumpster anyway. What a shame for such a classic to die this way. At least it had a proper goodbye on the last day of its operation.

I believe technically this will be only one of two coasters that Six Flags owns with the name Goliath. The 3rd one is at Walibi world which only used to be owned by Six Flags so this is a name that is not over used by any means. But anyway Goliath would be a cool ride name for a large hyper coaster, to me, starship would only fit a launched coaster or some sort of indoor simulator experience. Hopefully SFOG doesn't go under water a second time this year with the threat from Hurricane Katrina.

For the size of the park. It will be nice to have a larg coaster. Cause to me all the others seem to bee shrunken versions of larger coasters. With th exeptions of Mind Bender and GASM.

Goliath should be a Intamin roller coaster

^ who said it wasnt...nothing is "confirmed" as of today ;) ...not tomorrow is a different story!

what time will the announcement be on thursday? (please say the time zone!)

eastern standard time (EST) ;)

Meh, I'll confirm that it isn't Intamin....NOT that I'm happy about that...

bill, noted detractor of Beema hypers...;)

B&M speed/hypers don't not have as much air time as those intamin hypers, but then they also dont throw people from the trains as well!!

Yes i am just trying to stir.

I loved Nitro. Totally rocked.

Great reliabilty, Perfect safety record, and the crowd will love it.

Makes perfect sense to buy a B&M hyper in my book.

Goliath will be announced at 10:30am EST tomorrow, Raging Bull.

And it'll be better than every Intamin except MF and SFNE SRoS. :P

In your dreams, Joe... ;)
