^ I recognized it from riding Nitro so much and now that I have my UK airfare booked and I don't want to leave my house in the snow I have time to waste tonight.

^ I seriously hate it when the media does that!! I know they are trying to show an example of what it might look like but I just dont like it when it is done like this. I would rather them put in the computer animation of Goliath that's already out instead of a different coaster altogether!! But I also realize this is for the GP. So what do they know? But for us coaster fanatics (or me) it's just very annoying!!!

Ugh, this coaster still doesn't interest me.

The Superman colors can be quite stigmatising given all the other Superman rides in the Six Flags chain, but take that aside and I think it'll be a really good ride.

I'm really looking forward to this ride. I think it's either going to be a hit or miss, but I really love B&M hypers and this layout looks great (as long as the POV video isn't accurate in terms of speed)

cactus · February 23, 2006

From what I see, with all the footers being ready, my guess is that they will assemble Goliath very fast. And looking at the sharp apex of the first hill (after lift), we will probably get some airtime.

all the footers are ready

I'm actually really looking forward to riding this and seeing the rest of La Ronde this year. Not too shabby.

I can see a bit of airtime but for some reason in that last picture there it doesn't look as big as what I thought it was but maybe its just the way the pic is taken.

The station is starting to take shape

wwweeee!

looking good!

Good to see they're still building despite the snow. A few flakes over here and the Brits panic. Canada still keeps going in a few feet of the stuff!

verticalzero · March 3, 2006

Lovely looking Hills, the "Airtime" is going to be huge

Get this coaster in Thorpe Park over the water for next season.

cactus · March 4, 2006

Yeah, let's hope for some good airtime!

Gosh this thing seems to be going pretty fast. Although, the circut doesn't seem like its much of a challenge to put up, they're still working hard. It looks like a decent ride, though I'll probably never get up to ride it...
