Airtimes Lap Bar Duration Theming Dead spots

Goliath is a fun mega coaster in Walibi Holland. I'll explain more about the "fun" later. When you enter Goliath's entry plaza there's the iconic "Goliath" sign. Apart from that, there's barely any theming in and around the ride. The trains are extremely comfortable with the T restraint. ! FOR PLUS SIZE RIDERS ! Please keep in mind this coaster is not forgiving at all with the restraint, especially because of the additional seat belt. I've seen many people being sent away. 1. First you go up a quick cable lift hill. 2. The first drop isn't too insane, but it gives solid flejector, especially in the back. 3. The first camelback is amazing and gives awesome sustained ejector airtime, especially in the front. 4. The Stengel dive is nice and whippy. 5. The helix after the Stengel dive is a bit more intense than some people give it credit for. Not saying it's really intense but it's not as pointless as people make it out to be. 6. The twisted "airtime" hills and helix in between are pretty pointless in my opinion. I think the elements are too spread out to deliver any forces. 7. The three airtime hills at the end are awesome ejector moments. The coaster is the best in the front in my opinion. Apart from the first drop it gives the best airtime. I'd give this ride an 8,5/10. It's nothing insane, but really really enjoyable.

Theming Launch Harness Dead spots Layout

Xpress is a good launch coaster. The theming is amazing and I love certain jumpscares in the queue. The harness on the train isn't too comfortable for taller riders. The launch on this coaster is really good. I especially love the sound and lighting effects before and during the launch. After the launch you will go through a butterfly element. It's a nice and unique element and has some kick to it. After that, the ride is just meandering around. The corkscrew in the middle of the ride might come as a surprise for some riders. Outside there's no theming, but once you get back into the building you pass a train with fire effects which is well executed. In general Xpress starts with a bang but the rest of the layout is pretty boring. Even though it's an old-generation Vekoma, it's surprisingly smooth.
