SFGAmFan1976 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Wow... You will be able to see Goliath from most if not all of the park, especially after the lift hill goes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I saw on the Wikipedia article for Goliath that it will have a single rider line. Do any of you know if this is absolutely true? While Wikipedia articles don't usually lie, this sounds a little too good to be true. If it is, then that is fantastic because it means that when I go, I'll be able to get a ton of laps on it. If not, then oh well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_(Six_Flags_Great_America) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBears Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Here's a little comparison of the station's exterior from when Wolf was there till just a few days ago from the Goliath insider video to see the progress made...

gerstlaueringvar Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Single rider line sounds awesome! Sleeping Bull and Superman need them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Cool comparison. They're similar but different. I like it. It looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGAmFan1976 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'm very surprised that they are still using that exit ramp for the ride. That whole queue just felt crammed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM64 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Single rider line sounds awesome! Sleeping Bull and Superman need them as well. I agree with that 100%! Having one for Giant Drop would be really nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I did always like the Iron Wolf sign. Now, the ride was a completely different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Single rider line sounds awesome Lets see how good the single ride line will be managed. So far I can say only EP and Disney does it perfectly - at other parks I sometimes even had to point the attendant to a single free seat or I would have never gotten a place. If attendants are not trained for them they have no or little value... Secondly many manufacturers add a single ride line but leave it to the park to actually use it...

Kenny B Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 The dive loop looks like it's going to have a great twist effect, and some good G's. Everyone on the KI thread is bitching about how the inversions look drawn out, which lead to me looking a little harder at the track here, and it looks great! I've said it before, I'm not an inversion lover. But something about this dive loop, and the prospect of the zero g stall have me pretty excited!

DBru Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I thought they were extending the station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM64 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^Maybe the extension will be a Full Throttle esqe station? They'll just throw a tarp over it in mid August! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^Maybe the extension will be a YOLOcoaster esqe station? They'll just throw a tarp over it in mid August! SFGAm tends to make the most and best out of trash. If there is a tarp, It will be opening day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Track is being lifted into place at the far end by the dive loop and lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intaman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^Maybe the extension will be a YOLOcoaster esqe station? They'll just throw a tarp over it in mid August! Can they get that heavy metal band to do another YOLO song for Goliath? I still can't believe this park is getting an RMC. After Outlaw Run on Texas-Midwest last summer, I am really, really excited for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooz Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Seems like there's still tons to do on this ride. Should be a rush around the proposed opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^It's safe to assume that Goliath will have a delayed opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBears Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 40 days from today until the planned opening for Goliath. Track was added to the lift today and... more snow here in northern Illinois. From SFGAm's Instagram: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilrider Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^^I think they will get it done. Lift hill is already going up with track, and the zero G stall supports are already in place. Dive loop is near done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 ^I think so, too! The ride is shaping up very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
