coasterguy618 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Great Photos Guys! Goliath looks awsome. I love a the mini over-banked curve. Sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Well that is looking like the track is all but finished - the run into the brakes has been put up now. Great photos folks - I'm still praying on getting this ride in when I'm in the US! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I said it before, but man I really love the colors! Stands out so well as seen from the front gate! How far from the Atlanta airport is SFOG anyways? Maybe I can arrange for a nice long layover on my way to Orlando this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomizzle For Rizzle Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Dude, that ride is going to rule. Media Day could not get here fast enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can probably get from the plane's gait to the main gate in an hour with public transportation - take the Marta north to 5 Points, hop on the westbound line all the way to the end and take a bus to SF. Of course, I could be very wrong here since I don't ride the trains that often. Or, by cab, I'd say 20 minutes in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click me for directions from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport to Six Flags Over Georgia! As you can see it's pretty short. I'm hoping to go to SFoG when I'm in the States - but there's that 8 hour drive from Florida! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Outstanding I'll be there in October without a doubt. Then on to HHN... Great photos, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraxleRIDAH Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I get more and more impressed everytime I see a photo update of the Georgia Goliath. I won't hesitate to say that this one will offer a more fulfilling and satisfying ride than the original Goliath. Every single one of those hills promises airtime. And I don't even need to have ridden it to make that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Hmmm. It's looking like orange is this year's....... pink??? Eh, Tatsu? Thanks for sharing the pix. It's looking great, there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks for posting me some pics of Goliath... no, great Goliath! I'd jump in it if I was in US A lot of time of the AIRTIME can go down in history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumguy Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yes, the distance from Hartsfield-SFOG is short. Just to point out about Hartsfield. From what I hear, it's a very bad airport. The immigration and customs are the worst of any US airport and it's the busiest airport in the world! (combined it makes for very slow lines, long lines and painful moments.)

hjime223 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Unless you try during rush hour it should not take more than 30 minutes to drive from the Airport to Six Flags and it takes about an hour when you use public transportation (MARTA). I live in the Atlanta area and travel frequently. The Atlanta airport is one of the easiest airports anywhere when it comes to finding your way around. It can get very crowded during peak travel times but most of the time it is not crowded at all and being so big it evens feels a bit empty when it is outside of peak travel time. Customs and Immigration in Atlanta is very straight forward and not nearly as bad as say trying to enter the country through a Texas airport (especialy when you are hispanic). The only times I have had long lines getting through customs and immigration is when I have been unlucky enough to have several international flights land at the same time. The longest I have ever had to wait when coming in from an International flight is 1 hour which is very comparable to what I have experienced elsewhere and much shorter than the nightmare 2.5 hour ordeal I experience in Tokyo last September or being rejected by Chinese immigration while trying to enter Hong Kong due to my passport being damaged. Most of the time it is smooth sailing as there is plenty of capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aro26 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 DUDEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! That ride looks frickin AWESOME. I cant wait for it to open.Quick question though. Does anyone know what those guard rails are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 ^Those are nets so that lose articles that might fly off riders won't hit the people that are walking on the paths below the coaster. I have started to get use to seeing the nets along the side of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verticalzero Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Nice Photo's The helix should be amazing to ride. How much "Airtime" will it have..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 What's with those plastic things on the side of the track? It's like the whole ride is a pick-pocket inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
