GoBears Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Goliath's construction site as of this afternoon. Footers are being added for the overbanked turn and the twist and shout.

ScottyDoesKnow Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Not sure if you guys saw the contest SFGAm is hosting on their Facebook, but they are looking for a "Goliath Insider" to update their YouTube channel all winter long. Here is my video entry, thank you for your support! Vote for SCOTT SCHAFFER as your Goliath Insider! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is my video entry, thank you for your support! Vote for SCOTT SCHAFFER as your Goliath Insider! I voted for you, Scotty. You are the in the lead with votes right now, so you have good chances of winning and, hopefully, you do win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDoesKnow Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) They changed the voting process on the contest. The contest winner is now being chosen by park management and a panel of brand experts... thoughts?

XYZ Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 ^Hopefully, they do vote for you as you're much more professional and have much more experience than the other candidates. It would be really pathetic if the management does not vote for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 From what I can tell from the Web Cam, I think all the Footers are in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is it just me, or is SFGAm really lacking on the construction updates? I mean there are really only footers right now, but still, you'd think they'd be trying to hype up their new coaster a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkeyman18 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yeah the cars look great, in the other photo Robb posted it appears more padding are on the bottom of the restraints which is great because during Texas/Midwest I know the restraints destroyed some peoples shins on Outlaw Run.

Hoppy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Yeah the cars look great, in the other photo Robb posted it appears more padding are on the bottom of the restraints which is great... Yes! I also was looking at the other photo and it looked shaped and padded. Glad my suggestion to RMC (I'm sure many others also provided a similar comment) is going to come to fruition. IMO if Outlaw Run didn't have the shin bar, that ride would be much better. I'll be there in May to test them out on Goliath - can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhcbiinoc Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I know that this coaster and Banshee are the main two "big" new US coasters for 2014, but both look outstanding. I look forward to giving them a try next year if at all possible. And I really have my fingers crossed that SFOG might be considering something like this to replace Georgia Cyclone!!!

Ed Farmer Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I really have my fingers crossed that SFOG might be considering something like this to replace Georgia Cyclone!!! That would be awful. The topper track that they started (and not sure if they finished- I last visited near the end of 2012 season) was the ideal solution IMO, and should be the extent of any Rocky-Mountaining for Ga. Cyclone. It wasn't too long ago that it was far and away the best of the remaining stateside Cy-Clones, original included. Patch it up a bit and it'll be as good as anything that would replace it. If anything, they should try Rocky-Mountaining Superman. ;- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
