Goliath

Sometimes, the term “roller coaster” just doesn’t cover it. Goliath is so fast they call this metal monster a “hypercoaster” and within seconds you’ll know why. In a time when mythical beasts like the Goliath were feared, your bravery is put to the test as you’re dragged up the 235-foot lift, climbing higher and higher until all you see is sky.

Hold on tight as you plummet 255 feet at a 61-degree angle, reaching speeds up to 85 miles-per-hour, making this one of the longest and fastest drops in the world. But wait, wasn’t the climb only 235 feet tall? That’s right, the first drop takes you down below the dirt into a dark underground tunnel, gathering speed for the next drop of 185 feet.

As you shoot up and over the next hill, enjoy a moment of pure weightlessness before gravity yanks you down into your seat. Prepare to repeat this experience several more times through a series of intense high-speed banked turns along 4,500 feet of ruthless track.

The battle isn’t over yet. The unbelievable second half of this journey into steel madness wreaks havoc with your sense of gravity as you twist sideways, hugging the ground and then dive into a helix with an excess of 4.5G’s. When you pull back into the station, this speed monster will have your cheeks contorted into a huge perma-grin. Don’t worry, it’ll wear off before you face the mighty Goliath once again.
