SFoG goliath the tallest in the south?

Why do they advertise goliath to be the tallest and fastest in the south when sheikra is just as tall and has a bigger drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Goliath is a great ride but the advertisement dosent have to lie to get attention from the guest.

If two coasters in the same area are 200-feet tall and go 70 mph, they're both the tallest and fastest in the south. So Six Flags Over Georgia is able to advertise that with Goliath.

Six Flags is pulling the ole "above sea level" height factor. Given that Goliath is on a hill in the park, in a city that is well above Tampa in sea level.....well, there ya go.

Parks will use this kind of creative marketing from time to time. *** Edited 4/17/2006 3:38:39 AM UTC by swampfoxer***

your right but still technically they are the same hight so it should be one of the fastest in the southeast

just like ttd and kingda ka i think that sixflages pulled the aboube sea level trick with that beacause seeing ka i real life was no different from seeing ttd in real life ,if this is true sixflags has ****ty advertising. still enjoy goliath its a very great ride

how about the "fastest" pert of it if both coasters go 70mph

Does it really matter? Its simply to get butts through the turnstile and the only people who notice this are us. Besides Texas could be considered part of the south (it was a CSA state) and since Titan is taller and faster then either Sheikra or Goliath.

Well, it is probably hard to tell a 36' difference when it is over 400' above your head.

Also, no coaster in the south is taller than Goliath (even though I don't buy the fact that's it's 200', but that's a different story), so it is technically the tallest.

At this point, who cares? The ride kicks ass anyways :)

SFOT's Titan is 245 feet tall and reaches 85 mph. Last time I checked, Texas was in the south.

Not that it matters too much but I thought they were saying "Southeast"....
