gerstlaueringvar Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Sleeping Bull really is not my type. The airtime at the back row of both Demon and Viper on the first drop is totally better than Sleeping Bull IMO. Plus the B&M vibrate affect the experience a lot.

Fooz Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It wasn't installed in that picture above, it was suspended by the crane, maybe it's in place below the treeline now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAMTABSFGAm Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 April 11th - Goliath Insider The video shows them making great progress on the station. I am very happy to hear that there will be a single rider line for Goliath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airtime at the back row of both Demon and Viper on the first drop is totally better than Sleeping Bull IMO. Plus the B&M vibrate affect the experience a lot. I agree that Viper and Demon both have fantastic drops. They're equally as challenging as Raging Bull's first drop. To add to the comments on the previous page comparing hypers, I've been on 2 B&M hypers and 1 Arrow and I love all three. I actually prefer Diamondback's first drop over Bull's but I like the 2nd half of Bull more than Diamondback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFChris Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 This coaster is looking great but I have to be honest, this really lame debate is making it difficult for us outsiders to get quality updates on Goliath. Would love to see an updated set of construction pics!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goooose Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 A SINGLE RIDER LINE? Are they serious?!!?! Is this a Six Flags frst??? SO EXCITED. I was getting tired of yelling TWO RIDERS AT RANDOM PEOPLE IN STATIONS AFTER WAITING AN HOUR. All caps for EXCITEMENT. This ride will have great capacity now and all of us nerds can get more rerides in with strangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ride will have great capacity now and all of us nerds can get more rerides in with strangers. Viper, Revolution, Green Lantern, Lex Luther, and Viper all have Single Rider Lines at SFMM Ragin Cajun did at SFGAm There have to be others, But that's all I know.

SFGAmFan1976 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Big storm passed through Winnebago and Boone Counties..... Headed towards McHenry County and later Lake County. It has produced hail around 1-2 inches in diameter. Hope it doesn't do any damage at Great America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 ^Hail was not damaging at the park. Pea-sized for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallDuell Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Here's a great picture I ran across over at SFGAmWorld - from member RobSFGAm SOURCE This really gives a great idea of the over size of the ride (from outside of the park). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was coming down really hard here in Rockford earlier though. It looks like another piece of the lift is in place right now. Update: They have updated the map for the 2014 season with Goliath on it... https://www.sixflags.com/sites/default/files/sfgam_fullmap.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBears Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 And there's the confirmation of an additional fee required for Hurricane Harbor this year for non-pass holders.

Rollercoaster Rider Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Sounds like Six Flags is taking a page from the Legoland book. Make people pay a huge amount to get to the park and then make them pay more for a waterpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
