Goliath was a suspended SLC clone which was pretty rare to encounter. It had 2 vertical towers that dropped you forwards and backwards into a suspended loop and an inverted cobra roll, which is a unique element that is quite intense. The harness tended to pinch you and smooshed your legs during the ride which was a bit uncomfortable. Great inversions and drops, not the best restraints or layout.

First Drop Intensity Rattle Headbanging Discomfort

it is absurd how a ride that is generally considered to be very good is absolutely ruined by its trains. kills almost all of the enjoyment that this ride has.

So the ride itself is really fun, basically every Vekoma Boomerang you’ve been on but the carts are suspended, it’s taller and has vertical drops, it’s faster, more comfortable, and better all around. So why am I giving it 3 stars, one it’s broken down much more often then it’s actually running so you’re lucky if you go to the park and even see it doing test runs. 2, it’s like 100 feet away from probably one of the worst Vekoma Boomerangs out there, which takes away from how new and unique the riding experience should be for people who decide to ride the boomerang first. It’s still really fun if you get a chance to ride it, and the reason I put location as a pro is because it’s right in the middle of a lot of rides and stands out with a really good color scheme, and the view is really good when you’re going up the drop towers. So I would rate it a lot higher if they remove the horrible boomerang that to most people this just looks like a bigger version of. And if it was running even 50% more of the time it would be a really good ride to casually go on when you’re passing, but as it is right now it’s just sad for first or second time visitors to see what looks like a really cool ride and have to basically win the lottery luck wise for it to be open.

You start with the backwards lift which is actually pretty fun as you are hanging there facing straight at the ground. Then you drop and traverse the layout forwards. This section is alright, nowhere near as intense as a normal boomerang and a bit of a rattle plus some discomfort with how bulky the restraint is and the little bit of head banging you get during the cobra roll. So far not good but nothing too bad. But then you hit the forwards lift hill and the ride turns to garbage. Your legs flop down due to being at the vertical angle and the back of your knees dig into the the seat and stay there for the rest of the ride, causing searing pain and visible marks. This is truly one of the worst and most painful coasters I’ve ridden.

Harness Discomfort Pointless

It shakes, rattles and rolls. It's one of the most painful coasters I've been on, and it lands in my bottom ten coasters.

I don't get why Vekoma doesn't just make these type of coasters. Goliath is an amazing roller coaster mainly the spikes. The anticipation as you face straight down at the ground is insane. Yes is there a little bit of head banging but not really bad. I wish they could add a bit of theming to increase the mood but the coaster pays off for it. But overall Goliath is a must do coaster when you visit SixFlags New England

First Drop Fun Hangtime

No reason for the hate. The spikes are amazing the the rest is forceful. You might get some headbanging but not a lot, and it's better than the awful mid eraser, which is thankfully gone.

This ride is actually pretty underrated. Granted I rode it in the front the only time I went on it but when you're looking straight down at the ground, it's terrifying. Same with the second lift where you're looking straight up at the sky, pretty freaky stuff. However, this ride is not without its flaws, which include headbanging (minor if you're in the front), reliability (especially when I went, it was very rainy when I went back in July 2017), and rattle.

Wow, compared to the relatively good 'Stunt Fall' in Parque Warner Madrid, this is a really awful rattly ride.
