DarkStitch626 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I think I see why this was repainted the way it is. The Blue Supports are all at ONE level of peak. So they are all in line at the tops. Green going above said points it seems to match nicely. I think this looks wonderful. If its just a Primer coat it still looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What Color will it Be Repainted? You didn't notice in the last several updates that parts of the ride were also going green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 What Color will it Be Repainted? I don't know why the picture is sideways, as in my Photobucket account it is the right orientation. You can see that at the bottom the colors are hyper blue and outrageous green, aka the same colors as it was at SFMM with the exception of the towers. Will Goliath have flash pass? Yeah, according to the blue prints, after walking through the entry portal you turn left, completely missing the first set of switchbacks, then you walk along the side of the second set of switchbacks (which are located in Shipwreck Falls' station) and then you merge before entering the station.

Moose Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I like that the switch in color of the towers is only the upper half; it makes it do that only "track" is green. Looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Paint Job looking good. Ride looks brand new! Damn, makes me want it back nearby. Mt. Olympus is a park that looks ready to add a ride with shoddy operations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 To me, The Deja Vu was the coaster that always deluded me from riding it. When Six Flags over Georgia had theirs, the ride always seems to be down whenever I visited the park. So I had no tears when they took that overpriced scape heap out of their park, but I was still upset that I may never get to ride it. 2010 - I go to Six Flags Magic Mountain and rode Deja Vu twice in a row. Now I can die happy. This season, I'm planning to go to Six Flags New England and I'm hoping that Goliath would be up and running at least on one of the two days I'm planning to visit. I want revenge from the last time I visited Six Flags New England in 2001 ( I only had a one day window, a few rides -including Superman - wasn't running, and a terrible thunderstorm forced me to leave the park and head back to the motel ), and you can bet that cold dish will be oh so sweet this year ( it's a shame that they don't have 'Nightwing' anymore. That was some ride!), especially if I get to ride Goliath again and again. This is me, after two fun-filled days at Six Flags New England.

coast4airtime Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 For anybody who doesn't know, the towers are completely green now. I don't have any pictures, but I have seen pictures from opening day and can confirm from going to the park today that the towers are the same color as the track. I believe there are some photos on SFNEOnline. sfneonline.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That is so weird. I liked when the tops were painted green more than they were painted blue before, but this is gonna take some getting used to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 At first the all green tower looks horrid, but after looking at it for a few seconds it looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So looking at a post at SFNEonline, they have pictures from today showing the original De'jaVu trains on the track now. Maybe Premier is behind on production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was there the other day and got some pics. Goliath truly is a massive coaster. Pictures do not do it justice. The coaster can be seen all through out the park. The old Vekoma train is indeed being put back on the track as well... I wonder why Silverwood didn't need the escape tower with Aftershock?? Green towers don't look bad in person. Hello Vekoma trains. New Goliath gift shop that opened up on Monday! The line for season pass processing has been crazy long all week! Gotham City Gauntlet breaks down a lot, I've noticed. The Batmobile is all scratched up. They did have mist running in it's queue however. Look at how big it is! One last shot of Goliath! More pictures from the Travel Channel shoot at SFNE can be found on SFNE Online. Edit: I also took a video from the New England Skyway showing off the construction site of Goliath. It was windy so the video turned out pretty shaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vacoaster09 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I remember hearing that with Aftershock, Vekoma promised that it had fixed everything and there wouldn't be a need for it (as in not stalling anywhere). I guess Six Flags either is doing everything in-house or they just keeping it because they haven't fixed that possibility or its just an extra safety featuer as you we six flags wants to be extra safe. As for Green Towers, it definitely draws even more attention to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Farmer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Not too shabby with the green towers. I thought the blue and green worked well, but this is nothing to complain about. The platforms halfway up the tower remain blue- it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Anyone who has gone the in the past week, have you noticed the water fall that is in front of Goliath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Premier must be having some trouble with the train development. It's completely understandable - they're designing a new train essentially from scratch. Personally, I would have rather seen Vekoma produce the new train, but whatever.

Blind Idiot God Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Damn, that's nice. And I'm not too concerned about the Vekoma trains, considering that I'm 6'0 and don't really get thrown around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That ride looks a lot better in it's new location than it did at SFMM. I'm sure it will be a great fit, and will give SFNE a third above-average coaster. As far as the train is concerned, at WCB I remember Tim saying that the ride would use the original Deja Vu train for initial testing and certification, and the new train wouldn't be installed until just before opening. I do not know if plans have changed or not, but I don't think an opening date has been announced for this yet. If the Deja Vu train is still being used a week before opening and the Premier train is nowhere in sight, it would probably be safe to assume plans have changed. Until then, I still think we'll be seeing the Premier train within a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 ^Wouldn't a completely different new train require the testing to be redone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 That waterfall is a VERY nice touch. I wouldn't even dream of SFMM doing anything remotely close. Premier must be having some trouble with the train development. It's completely understandable - they're designing a new train essentially from scratch. Personally, I would have rather seen Vekoma produce the new train, but whatever. Premier is probably too busy trying to get that S:UF track manufactured and out the door.

Jerrykoala2112 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm glad the park is able to make the area look nice. It replaced a nicely themed splash-boat ride, so it is a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
