Goliath is a little overhated. It pulls some nice forces at the bottom of the first drop and the downwards helix. The closer to the front of the train you sit the more floater you'll get over the camelback. It's still a very smooth ride, and the restraints are the most comfortable in the whole park. Of course we all wish it was more of an airtime packed hyper and that first drop was steeper but things could be worse.

This will carve out a nice role in the park as a step-up family inversion coaster but wow do the comfort collars hurt the ride experience. I know they want to increase capacity but they're sacrificing comfort in doing that. West Coast Racers is essentially a Greatest Hits compilation from other rides in the park with the issue being that the elements presented here are worse than those said rides. There's no airtime here, but the spaghetti bowl section does pull some g's and the inversions have some nice hangtime.
Update: I've gotten a few more rides on this since the opening to the general public. I can't believe this coaster already has a rattle to it. A 25 year-old B&M invert is smoother than this ride. Reliability has also been an issue as this thing has been breaking down constantly each day. The inversions are fun and give good hangtime. The pitstop doesn't seem to take as long anymore which is good for capacity. But I can't find much else that is positive about this ride.

It's smoother after the retracking besides the slight jackhammering before the tunnel. Overall, this is a really fun ride with some nice pacing in the first half. The GCI restraints are pretty uncomfortable, but if you're able to get some room you will get some airtime.
