DailyBugle_JL Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Its seems as if the helix is at 180 degrees and could go alittle bit further tommorow but im not for sure how things will work out. Also reported seeing steel taking inside of the park for non-coaster construction. Probalbly station work. Ill get you guys pics tommorow. Dont worry, ill crop the pictures down to a reasonable size unlike some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ill get you guys pics tommorow. Dont worry, ill crop the pictures down to a reasonable size unlike some people. Some people are just dumbasses who don't know how to avoid leeching bandwidth, yet alone resize someting down from 1800px wide :: http://sfog.parktrips.com/update.cfm?id=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyBreath Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Not saying the ride wont be great but I have just been totally pissed off by seeing that trim inbetween the Helix and the bunnyhop . Why does every one of they're hyper coasters have to have trims I thought B&M were suppose to be excellent designers yet they can't even design a hypercoaster without taming it. I just don't understand how they're loopers can go untamed but there hypers all have trims can anyone explain this to me. Anyways not trying to turn this into a B&M rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Wow, this coaster is looking better and better everyday. I wish B&M would make a hyper in Socal ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I read it is supposed to be used in case the train valleys for some reason, so there is still hope that it won't be used on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyBugle_JL Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Seem like sometrack has been added to goliath or atleast thats what i heard from Silent J If you look closely you can see the the helix is just a hair short of 540 degress now. No track onsite but supports for the fourth were laying on the ground. The big crane was having mud problems as well. See goliath, Sheikra doesnt get all the love.

ECZenith Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I agree, looks much better than I had anticipated. I most likely will not get to this one in '06 but I think I'll get to La Ronde's. Thanks to all for the great photos. Good to see progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippyTrick09 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I so can't wait to go down to SFOG this summer and ride Goliath! It is going to be TO MUCH FUN! Finnaly Georgia has got something to be proud about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2pids2 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 If I can honestly state my opinion here for a second, this ride doesn't really captivate my interest much as I know it'll just be another typical SF coaster. At least there is landscaping around it this time and not just a parking lot. Regardless, a new B&M is a blessing and I'll definitely ride it if I am at SFoG. This year, it's all about Black mamba at Phantasialand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm more excited about Six Flags coasters this year than I was last year. The two Goliaths, El Toro and Tatsu have got me much more interested than Kingda Ka ever did. I'm gutted about missing this ride by only a few days, but I'm sure that Six Flags Over Georgia will be on the menu for a trip to this US someday.
