Goliath starts to show its personality at Six Flags Holland

Check out the elevator lift on this one. It looks like the kicker wheels slide the front of the train up on the lift before it's connected to the lift sled. Interesting!

It sure would be fun to have something like this in a medium-sized park here in the states!

Holiday world or Lake Compounce??  Jeff

NO.  Six Flags Marine World!   ;)
-----------------
Have you ever considered that maybe it's not the park that's the problem, but YOU?

Canobie Lake Park!!!

-----------------
Out of the coasters i've ridden here is wat i rank them overall:(ive been to canobie lake and SFNE)
1. S:RoS 2. Yankee Cannonball 3. Riverside Cyclone 4. Canobie Corkscrew 5. Thunderbolt 6. Galaxy 7. Mind Eraser 8. Dragon coaster 9. poison ivy's tangled

I don't think family parks would ever want something like this. Family parks are just that, family. I can't really see Holiday World or Lake Compounce building a junior-hyper, but hey,who knows what they have up their sleeve.

This type of ride would be perfect for Holiday World.  You can't say it's too extreme, because the Legend is just about as extreme as you can get.  Too expensive?  Now that's a possibility.

You can't spell "dishonorable" without "honorable."

Yeah, I don't think anyone would ever call Legend a "family" ride.

If this is it for Six Flags St. Louis, I sure hope the proposal goes thru.

It's amazing how small Intamin can make a ride look and then be so amazing when you ride it.  That huge, thick track really tricks the eye.

That's not roughness that intensity

Is that ride over 200 feet cause it looks about 140

no, Its just over 140 I think , its what Intamin calls a Junior Hyper.

Gravity knows no force, like Millennium Force. breathe. You have just broken ten world records.
Beyond coaster....Giga Coaster.

***MILLENNIUM FORCE***

Thats sure is a small break run.  It is definately going to be a nice quick stop.   That ride is sure shaping up nicely...I wuld take it over some of the hypers currecntly out there now.
-----------------

Jeff, I don't think this ride has a cable lift. The kicker wheels push to train to a conventional chain lift. Look closely at the pictures again. The large white wheel is a sproketless chain wheel, similar to Gemini's chain lift. And look closely at the next picture of the lift hill. Looks like a conventional chain guide and anti-rollback rack to me!

But Pete, they have a big old cable drum, just like the one on Millennium Force!

Goliath is 153ft 8 inches tall if I remember correctly.

Okay, I'll relaease you out of 'ur problems...

G! is 46 METERS tall, 2100 METERS long, and has a top speed of 106 KM/h...

The first drop is 45 meters, not as tall as the most hypercoasterz in your country, but it's good enough for a start of a new time(...) in Holland!!!!!

Know enough?

ONCE THERE WAS A SMALL PARK, BUILT OUT TO A THEME PARK... LATER ON THEY NOTICED THAT THERE'S MORE THAN EARTH! HEAVEN
Thank Six Flags Holland for GOLIATH!!!
