The big negative to Goliath being pushed back due to the weather was the morning of Media Day there was only one train of Goliath's two that were certified by the state for riders.  As a result we ended up with one train with four rows roped off.  Mix that with a very large crowd there ready to ride and you don't end up with the best recipe for a lot of rides.  We didn't end up with the quantity of rides we wanted but what Goliath gave was quality!



Kicking everything off Goliath quickly sends you up to the top of its 165 foot tall lift hill before sending you right over..



Unlike Outlaw Run there is no pre-drop dip as Goliath sends you straight down after leaving the chain.



Technically Goliath's first drop doesn't send you "straight down" but it is pretty close.



Goliath's first drop is a record breaker at 85 degrees which makes it the steepest drop on any wooden coaster.
