SFOG Announces GOLIATH!

Is Alton suppose to get another B&M??

I love Apollo's Chariot which was my first B&M speedcoaster and Nitro to me is GREAT. The helix on Goliath seems to me like it will be better than Nitro's. Overall I can say there are many things that I like about this ride especially the fact that it will not have a MCB!!!

If I would of ordered the ride though, I would of made it's first drop 265 Ft...................LOL

Thanks Bob.

I found something that peaked my interest. I was taking a look see about Goliath on RCDB and it was in the category of a B&M sitdown. So I clicked on it and got this page. http://www.rcdb.com/installationresult.htm?column=1,10,3,4,5&order=1,2&model=125

Now my question is why they would put it in that category. Its a hyper. It doesn't have OTSR. Just curious as to why its put like that.

Its because it isn't a hyper coaster, it is a speed coaster. The innitial height from ground to the peak of the track measures at only 194'. The reason SF billed this as over 200' is due to the hill that the drop sits on. That is the reason for the status at www.rcdb.com.

So, again, Six Flags is stretching the truth with their new coaster...

Looks like a great coaster, and a nice addition.

Now, someone must fire the PR person that decided that *today* was a good day to make this announcement!

Why? SFOG is no where near New Orleans.. Theres no damage to SFOG, and While the storm that has impacted the gulf was in no doubt a tragic and historic event.

Theres no reason why a person should lose there job just because of a tragic event miles away.

Maybe you should loose your job, because you made such a retarded and stupid post.

-Thats the Way I See it

That may be that its a speed coaster. But the category its under in RCDB is for a twister style. Like with OTSR and inversions. This is the only one in that list that does not really belong.

I has been changed to the mega-coaster category.
