XYZ Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 At first, when I heard Goliath was getting green tower supports, I thought it was going to be disgusting, but it's actually turning out well. I would like to see some photos from the ground to give my true opinion. I like that Six Flags is making the coaster a bit more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 The fact that this seems almost level with Bizarro just begs for me to ride. The fact that Goliath is being built on land that is that is 30/40ft above the elevation of the 'DC SUPER HEROS Adventure" area where Bizarro is doesn't hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If anything that 30/40 height difference will make it looks much taller then Bizarro. If the two coasters were side by side, Bizarro would only have about 18ft on Goliath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Despite the fact that right behind these photos is another boomerang Only until it gets relocated to La Ronde. La Ronde would do something like that. Duelling Boomerangs would look great next to the Batman and the SLC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Between La Ronde and CW's latest additions, there might be something in their water. I'm having my first case of "coaster bitterness" with this coaster. I loved having Deja Vu at Magic Mountain and I don't want any other park to have it! Welcome to the SFGAm/SFOG Club. Chicago got a Splash Battle to compliment the giant water park roughly 50 steps away, and Atlanta got a few gallons of blue paint to throw on Batman. Maybe California will get a Blue Splash Battle?

UrbanLegend Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Duelling Boomerangs would look great next to the Batman and the SLC! What if this happened and they intertwined the two? So the middle of Flashback's cobra roll would be threaded through Boomerang's loop, and vice versa, and then they were run at the same time? Dueling Boomerangs. WHOA.

Well that's alot better than what Maryland's gotten in years & what they're getting to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaminkid2005 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ^The coaster they're getting this year is a lot better then the coaster they got last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinTheAttendant Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I can't believe how good this ride is looking! I was rather skeptical about the move at first, but with the park making it look like such a perfect fit, I say "bravo" for the decision (plus, now there's an excuse to get rid of Flashback and maybe make up for the loss of two flat rides in '08). Even though I already got the credit, I can't wait to ride it when it opens! On a side note, I hope that they tidy up the roof of Shipwreck's old station. I still love how they're recycling it!

BiZaRpErMaN Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I can't wait for this coaster. I'm sure if anyone visits the park that you will be seeing a lot of me on that ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosso Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Any word on when the ride will be ready? I was hoping it would be ready by opening week.... that doesn't seem to be the case??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screaminkid2005 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ^Yay! Now they have to do is paint it, finish the station, build the line/exit, and landscape! I'm so excited for this coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobie#1 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) ^They're not painting it. Mod Edit: There is a difference between there and they're, use the right one. Edited March 1, 2012 by Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoole Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ^I'm pretty sure they are giving it a fresh coat, just in the same colors. Hasn't this been discussed before ad naseum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Love how earlier in this thread someone said they hope the track doesn't remain baby vomit green and now the whole thing is being painted that colour Not sure what I think about the new colour. I usually don't like rides with one color for both the supports and track (unless its grey or black) so Im a bit uncertain. Would've been nice if they'd gone for the Blue and Orange paint scheme like Stunt Fall at Parque Warner Madrid but isn't that the same color as flashback? I really liked the color in the concept art.

screaminkid2005 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ^Flashback currently has red track and orange supports. ^There not painting it. Like already stated they are painting it the same colors... except the towers? The park has already confirmed it will get fresh paint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noregrets Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wow those are really great pictures, you can see the whole scope! And it is really tall looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was under the impression looking at these pictures that they were just painting the upper part of the tower green so that it gave the appearance of just track rising into the air or something? Leave the rest of the supports blue, and just have those green spikes sticking up. As far as the GP's concerned, it'll look like there aren't even any supports, just big track in the air.
