Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Fun Ejectors

When you first see the ride, it doesn't look like much. However, RMC shows once again you don't need a huge coaster to provide big thrills. This was such a fun ride. It has great elements, and there are some really fun inversions on this.

Comfort Smoothness Disappointing!

B&M delivers the usual smooth ride, and while it has some fun elements, it rates about 7 on the thrill scale. Still, it's a coaster I enjoy riding multiple times in a day.

Comfort Smoothness Disappointing!

This was a pleasant ride, but I got only minor thrills from it.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

Rode in row 8. This has good forces all over. Laterals strong on the turnarounds, enough to throw you into your fellow rider, but not quite as nuts as Kennywood’s Thunderbolt. That may be for the better, though. There is a good amount of violence in some of the transitions, often in the form of the drop suddenly steepening, tossing you out of your seat. It’s not quite Jack Rabbit or Phoenix in terms of standing air, but it’s much closer than I thought it would be. And there are plenty of good moments of airtime. They are not sustained over hills, and since I was towards the back the airtime only kicked in when I was getting yanked down the hills. But again, it was strong, and basically standing. It was a good long ride, and it had a few moments of moderate roughness, but it was not ever painful.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity

This is a very good family coaster. I was surprised that it actually has some decent forces especially on that final helix

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun

Very good GCI with some good airtime

Airtimes First Drop Intensity Rattle

This ride is definitely a great gravity group. The first drop is insane and the ride is forceful and packs in good airtime throughout it's compact layout. The ride is insanely rough however but it's definitely bearable

First Drop Inversions Ejectors Too short

Goliath is as of today my favorite coaster, I just had the wonderful opportunity of going to Six Flags Great America on it's opening day and got to ride 4 different coaster for the first time as an enthusiast (it is my homepark so I have ridden all of them before) so now it is time to give it a review and to begin let's start with the cons. Goliath has two real cons and those are that as of this review seats are assigned but I believe that you can request a row however I did not because I got assigned near the back both times. The ride's biggest con however has to be it's duration, this ride is far to short and there is not really much else that can be said about this. Now moving on to the pros and there are many of these so to begin let's start with the wonderful first drop, this drop is all you want it to be and more. The drop is taken at an 85 degree angle and is 180ft which is 15 feet longer then the actual height of the ride. You are ejected over this drop in the back (as I said before can't say anything about the front yet) and it feels like you are falling for awhile before you reach the valley. The second pro of Goliath is it's several ejector airtime points which are: the aforementioned drop, the first airtime hill, and the pullout of the second 90 degree banked turn, these moments make this ride what it is and I love it. The third and final notable pro is the 2 wonderful inversions which are a dive loop which is great and a stall which is fantastic and was actually the first ever zero-G stall and I love this element and it is in my opinion the best inversion in the park. overall my opinion on Goliath is that it is positively the best ride in the park and I would give it a solid 8.5/10. The only thing that holds this ride back from a better rating is it's length but it is in a small plot of land so they did the best they could.l

Layout Duration Rattle

When I rode this seven years ago, I loved it and was disappointed when the ride came to an end. When I rode it yesterday, I was relieved when it was over. The layout is the best I've seen for a mine coaster, but this ride has gotten much rougher since I rode it in 2015. Seven years ago, I rode it multiple times because it was so much fun. Yesterday, once was enough.

Location Inversions Launch Intensity

I thought the tonnerres de zeus was easier than the Pegasus express, sharp turns at high speed and it was mainly just uncomfortable. I recommend if you have a strong gut, but this ride emphasises the stomache sensation and the start is very brisk and really ejects you. Not for me.
