SFH Goliath is NOT REAL!

Do ya guys know how load we are lauging in Europe? You in America got all the big rides! Lots of B&M's, Intamins higher then 60 meters!

And now, when we in Europe got a Itamin of 47 meters high, 1200 meters long, but one of the best layouts, you're all sounding jealous!

Ok, the time is coming Europe will strike back! We had the first rollercoasters in France, then America had it's great rides. Now it's Europes turn!

Greetings

It looks real to me. :)

-----------------

It looks almost like they were putting in a Zero-G Roll and forgot that it only has lap bars. In the famous words of Frank Barone (Everybody Loves Ray), "HOLY CRAP!!!"

Well this is certainly a surprise. Didn't see that in the renderings, for sure!

By the way, I think we use feet instead of meters in the US only because the numbers sound more impressive. (Or because we're just too damn backward to use the metric system.)

Oh man this is one fine coaster! that looks so awesome! so... whos goin to Holland?

---

Believe it or not...I am living in holland.....Whohooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!

-----------------

*jaw drops* Ok, i guess i'm just at a loss for words here. This is starting to shape up as one of the best steel rides in the world, easily. Its too bad (for us) that so much of this Intamin wacky-ness is going on in Europe. I mean, Goliath's over banked...thing, Expedition's first drop (still can't get over that one), the zero g-roll in the station on Tornado, those barrel rolls on collosus. Seriously, in Europe England used to be the place to be, but just in the past few years central Europe has just exploded. I hope to get out there at least in the next 5 years or so.

If the shoe fits, find another one.

Cripes! I gotta go visit that, uhh, cousin I have in Europe.

Jeff, remember we DID try to go to the metric system in the early 70's...I was in (elementary) school then, and we had to learn metric, the darned "adults" just weren't willing to buy in...it would be really nice now that we live in the computer age, the 21st century, the age of the Euro, if the US could *finally* catch up...

Jeremy, this ain't *exactly* Holland, but G-ville is ALMOST as "relaxed" as San Fran or Nawlins...'nuff said!

Timo, you and Colin M. really ought to have LOTS of fun visiting your new toys all over the continent...

-----------------
Florida needs an Intamin and/or CCI soon...Please!
We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams...

That looks absolutley amazing. Hoperfully when SFWoA gets approval for there hyper, it will include this element if made by Intamin :) :)

Looks better than Millennium Force to me !!! When will we get an Intamin like this here ?!?
(note, that I still haven't ridden the Superman Intamins). I hope they clone this for SFStL's rumored Intamin !

That is so.... I'm speechless.

All I have to say is I hope PKD has been pretty successful with their Intamin invert and PKI opts to get one of these(Intamin anything) babies in the near future. All parks need an Intamin. :)

Do ya know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in France????

---a Royale with Cheese

Ya know why???

---cause of the metric system. They dont know what a "F"-ing quarter pound is!

You know what they put on French Fries in Holland instead of Ketchup???

---Moyannaise. They drown everything in Mayo.

You cant just walk down the street puffin' a J. They have designated extablishments. ...And those are called "hash bars".

Get this --- its legal to buy it, legal to carry it, legal to smoke it, but its ILLEGAL for the cops to search you!

I've traded in my 2000 Giovanola for a 2002 Arrow X4D :)
My other car is now an Arrow X4D!

I love French Fries with Mayonaise! That's why I'm born in Holland. And I love Goliath. That's also why I'm born in Holland.

friggin a.

I have to add to this...OMG....that's more of a zero g roll than an overbanked hill

Thats insane!

"Yeah, they did it in Superman 3"

Joe,

I will ride it a few times for ya'.

-Sean (who wishes Joe would be there also.................but he won't so BLAAAAAHHH! =:^) )

Actually one good thing about the Netherlands is they hold the annual Cannibus Cup, the biggest pot smoking contest in the world. Yours truly flies there every year and takes part in it. The quality exceeds anything ive ever used here. not to mention cheap.

Two questions:
a) I know I saw the layout for this somewhere, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone know where it is?

b) I keep hearing about the layout of Tornado and the zero-g in the station, but I've never seen pix or anything. Anyone have any pix?

If you don't have it, get the Screamin' Serpent.
