^The most bad@$$ thing that's happened to me in Goliath's death helix is my voice going up a pitch lol. Only time I've ever greyed out, well got close, was in Viper's 3rd loop on my 3rd consecutive ride of it. After that I figured it would be smart to stop

[rawrtotheargh]

^ I can force myself to sort of grey out on the helix. But its only a little. It gets exhausting though.

[ethans_dad06]

I've never blacked out or even greyed out on any ride, even before they started slowing you down to a crawl on the mcbr on Goliath. I have heard that dehydration can lead to blacking out on a ride, but I'm not a Dr. so I can't confirm that!

[X2coasterfreak]

I have blacked out on Goliath once. It was kinda cool I guess. All you see is a black tunnel and bam nothing. I do hope I never black out again though.

[4rturo]

I remember first time I blacked out was in riddler's, front seat, bottom of the first drop, I came back while upside down in the loop, it was awesome cuz I was like WTF??

[Guy T. Koepp]

I shoot black tar heroin. So I passed out on the Percy coaster. It was awesome!

I heard that during safety in the morning the MCBR barely brakes at all and it goes crazy fast through the helix. I would love to ride it like that.

I can point out at least two things wrong with that statement, haha.

Yea I remember when Goliath first opened it seemed like they barely hit the brakes on the mcbr. The helix was pretty intense back then. In SFMM's defense, I would have slowed the ride down as well to prevent a possible lawsuit in the future, even though the lady had died from a pre-existing condition.

[Sir Clinksalot]

Oddly enough, I didn't "brown out" when Goliath first opened (before they trimmed the MCBR to hell). But now I do.

 

Of course, it could be the years and not the ride.

[rawrtotheargh]

Does anyone else miss the car in the queue in line for Batman? I don't know why they would take it out. Unless they are using it for Terminator.

[haiderodes]

^ They took out that car a long time ago...I wouldnt attribute that to Terminator.

[rawrtotheargh]

^ I remember it being there in January. And possibly march. But when i went in early april it was gone. The area looks to empty without it.

It's gone...? I didn't even notice that it wasn't there. The line would look pretty boring without it...I still can't believe I didn't notice. But I was kind of rushing to get on Batman before the park closed

[atem122]

I didnt notice that it was gone either, but that's because I didnt have to wait to get on it

[rawrtotheargh]

There wasn't a line when i went either. I just tend to notice when the slightest thing is different about a place. Like all of the new gates on all of the rides have been throwing me off.

[FitchCoaster]

I blacked out yesterday, twice. It's happened before and it'll happen again. It's not very fun but I'm used to it by now I still love Goliath.

 

You were at Six Flags on Sunday? I saw someone in Goliath's station with a WCB shirt on, but it was too late to say something. Was that you?

 

Anyways, I love the helix on Goliath because of the crushing g's. It's definitley not my favorite feeling, but there's just something about the feeling of being pushed into my seat that I love.

[atem122]

^I just love yelling death helix every time I get to that and seeing if I can keep my hands up...yeah I'm a nerd

[rawrtotheargh]

^I love the feeling of being pulled down the second drop. When riding in the back seats. The helix is also one of my favorite parts as well. And the pung noise when the train goes through the turn after the camel hump into the MCBR. I love that ping. Makes me feel like I am at home.

"I saw someone in Goliath's station with a WCB shirt on..." (FitchCoaster)

 

Could have been me. I was at SFMM on Sunday with Diana and we rode in Row 3. If I recall, we rode about 6:30 or so.

 

Eric

[FitchCoaster]

^ 6:30 sounds about right, but the people I saw rode in the last row and were pretty young. I probably saw you too though, I saw a couple WCB shirts that day.

I think he just called you old Eric.

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

After riding Titan, it kinda makes me feel like we got cheated with Goliath. That extra helix makes a world of difference!

[packfanlv]

^Go ride S:ROS (Bizzaro) or Millennium Force and you will really feel like we got screwed with Goliath! (Although I do agree that the extra helix on Titan makes the ride a little bit better!)

[Bolliger&Mabillard]

^Well played.
