SFOGdude25 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 okay, so yeah i agree with homey that though the shortest one, it can be the most intense one, like b:tr thanks for the physics lesson redunzelizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey G. Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Not to mention, Nitro's helix is not that intense to me at all. Perhaps that's why my opinion is the way it is. EARregardless, the point was for the gentleman that thought Goliath would just a hyper-in-training to not feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroJoeC Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 ^Strange, I've always thought that Nitro's helix was globally thought of as a very intense coaster moment. I'd actually go as far as saying it's one of the most intense helices on any hyper I've ever done, definitely more intense than any of the Intamin hypers for sure. EARegardless of that though, I agree, Goliath sure doesn't look like a hyper-in-training - it looks like the real deal to me! jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Here are some new pictures that I took this morning. I'm glad to see that the construction is moving along at a great pace.

SFOGdude25 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 AWESOME!!! I can't wait for it. I can't imagine what it will look like when they build the second hill. It'll look so cool going over the scorcher! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I took 20 new pics for y'all to enjoy: http://sfog.parktrips.com/update.cfm?id=17&p=1 By the way that turn on the first page will be taken at 70mph so I think its safe to say that it will be pretty intense!! - Joe 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why are they putting those ugly things on the side of the track?! It's like on SheiKra's immelman, I hate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 It is for netting because it travels over the parks paths, Scorcher, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Here are the pictures that I took this morning. I can't wait until they complete the hill that goes over the Georgia Scorcher. They have already started putting track up in the island in front of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DailyBugle_JL Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 i had to drive by the park today so i decided to stop and take pics as well. Nice pics Ptrips and Ccrazy. Here are shots that arent up yet. This round Schorcher and Freefall decided to play. Scorcher and Goliath hid behind the same tree. Freefall was smart he hid behind Goliath Also today me and Goliath decided to play hide and go seek. Heres my weekly shot of Goliath from Wendys. 10/16/2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AznShortBoi8021 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Great pictures. Goliath looks great so far, judging from the pictures you guys take. Too bad I won't be riding it next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 It should be interesting comparing these two under 200' speed coasters to ones like Nitro and Apollo. Some of those turns will make for a really intense ride experience. I'm there.
