Goooose Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well, I guess we will get the roof re-shingled, as we all wanted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Now that we know everyone is okay and it won't delay anything it's hard not to laugh at this. it's like the coaster gods are helping Six Flags on their quest to make sure no new ride ever opens on time.

cal1br3tto Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 ^Yup. I know it's just a coincidence, but still. Speaking of coincidences, just last night I had a dream about coaster track on fire.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoinItForTheFame Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 BREAKING NEWS. Media day has been rescheduled for June 18, wednesday, and moments after this stroy started to spread, THE ROOF OF GOLIATH's STATION CAUGHT FIRE. News crews and fire fighters are rushing to the scene. I swear Goliath and SFGAm just can not catch a break with this ride. Good news is that the fire did not do any MAJOR damage. Still sad that it happened. I imagine it's a stressful situation for the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGAmFan1976 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 ^^ Obviously they did realize that they posted it by accident because it is unlisted on their YouTube page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewman35 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 ^^ Obviously they did realize that they posted it by accident because it is unlisted on their YouTube page. Well, they (or the Daily Herald) didn't realize (or care, I guess) that despite it being an "exclusive" for two days, they just embedded an easily shared YouTube video, so the "exclusive" is pointless.

glouthan Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This coaster is looking amazing! That zero - G stall should be very thrilling. Same goes for the airtime hill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 ^ Looks like they probably just had to replace a piece of steel for whatever reason, and this piece didn't get painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glouthan Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I agree with Robb. The train doesn't shake, so that proves that the piece is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Goliath looks like a metric ton of fun, but it doesn't look like my kind of coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
