Taller than Shambhala sounds great! It would be nice to see an accelerator around the giga range since there aren't any in that range right now.

^ No you're not overthinking it, in my experiences with Sfgam opening day, operations are quite slow, sometimes one train even.

^ Yeah i drove past the park on the interstate yesterday and Goliath was clearly visible, I am also driving by on Sunday, so we might drive down on Washington ave, go to the employee drop off area, not on property, to to take some pics and see it for myself.

New Goliath insider.

^Ah, never thought of it that way, that could be the case. I certainly hope it's a giga, it would be cool to see a giga accelerator coaster since there isn't one in that height range.

The fact that they used the phrase "tallest vertical accelerator coaster in Europe" rather than "tallest coaster in Europe" makes me think that this won't surpass shambhala in height. I do hope it is a giga though.

Wait, so it isn't plummet of death?

Looks like Goliath has gone patriotic!

County fair.

That definitely seems like a ride that "guests of all ages can enjoy."

Also, the edges of the webcam tilt in a bit, so it will look even taller in real life. "Bring on the track!"

Have you ever rode it? Ride would be a lot better w/o it Actually, I have. It's not as amazing as people fantasize that it will be. The ride is not a lot better without it. It rides a little quicker through the first half and there is a bit of air on the hill that is trimmed. But I would doubt most people would be able to tell the difference and it wouldn't people rate it in their top 10 because it's a few mph faster. Did you ride "without trims" on a really slow train, or on the first few cycles? Because if you rode on a really slow train, of course it wouldn't be much better because it would be traveling at a similar speed as a fast train with trims.

Almost forgot! Roller Coasters in the Raw and Coaster Expeditions!

Dive Loop structure going up!

Top 3- 1. LOTR 2. Dark Knight Trilogy 3. Pacific Rim (only one so far, but a sequel is being written)

Found an article from Screamscape today about a possible new Amusement Park TV show, called "For Your Amusement." The show focuses on not only rides but also park history. There is a kickstarter project going on right now, with a goal of reaching $37,000 by April 4, so they can film their pilot episode at Knoebel's. Sounds great! What do you guys think?
