Holy Crap!!!!!!!
That is the mostbanked turn I have ever seen in my life. It looks like one hech of a ride though. How much of a turn is that becuase it looks just a little overbanked.
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)

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.
