Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

The back seat is the place for Bond and I as we love being whipped over the top of Goliath's one hundred and sixty-five foot tall lift hill down a eighty-five degree one hundred and eighty foot first drop.

The fifteen foot difference between Goliath's lift height and drop is due to there being a fifteen foot deep tunnel at the bottom of the first drop.

Occupying a very narrow and small strip of land at Six Flags Great America Rocky Mountain Coasters and Alan Shilke had to come up with quite a few twists to shoehorn 3100 feet of track onto the site.

All of the twists and turns of Goliath are fun but the ride really shines when...

...it turns you upside down and leaves you hanging there with nothing beneath you for a hundred or so feet of track.
