Whoa, that horseshoe turn looks awesome. I hope my trip to SFoG is as god as is was last year. Aww, sweet DeJa Vu. I miss you.

Wow, this thing looks awesome! Especially that one turn!

[coasterguy618]

Great Photos Guys! Goliath looks awsome. I love a the mini over-banked curve. Sweet.

[Shockwave]

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!

[ECZenith]

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.

[Tomizzle For Rizzle]

Dude, that ride is going to rule. Media Day could not get here fast enough!

[ParkTrips]

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.

[Homey G.]

^ Minutes. Like 10.

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!

Its only 31 days away!!!

[ECZenith]

Outstanding I'll be there in October without a doubt. Then on to HHN...

 

Great photos, BTW.

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.

[Nrthwnd]

Hmmm.

 

It's looking like orange is this year's....... pink???

 

Eh, Tatsu?

 

 

Thanks for sharing the pix. It's looking great, there.

[Satoshi]

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?

[coasterboi]

I think they should call this "Nets The Ride"

[Millenniumguy]

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]

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.

[TwistedTrack]

Can you say airtime?

[rollerdude]

I need to plan a trip to Georgia. Soon.

 

 

Me sometime in the future>

[aro26]

DUDEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! That ride looks frickin AWESOME. I cant wait for it to open.Quick question though. Does anyone know what those guard rails are?

[CoasterCrazy]

^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.

[aro26]

Ohhhhhhhh! So thats what those things are. Thanks CoasterCrazy

[verticalzero]

Nice Photo's

 

The helix should be amazing to ride.

 

How much "Airtime" will it have..?

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

What's with those plastic things on the side of the track? It's like the whole ride is a pick-pocket inversion.
