Moving on back to the coasters here is a nice view of Goliath
from the back lot.
Goliath with it's appropriately impressive entrance is one of two
hyper coasters built for Six Flags by Giovanola.
This one opened in 2000 while a slightly longer version opened in 2001
as Titan at Six Flags Over Texas.
Unfortunately despite working in the background in the amusement park
industry building rides for other designers after Titan opened Giovanola
filed for bankruptcy and closed for good in 2004. What is really
unfortunate for us is the two hyper coasters they built are really
amazing machines.
Goliath and Titan both feature stellar drops, great layouts, a
comfortable ride and some of the most forceful rides out there here it
comes to positive, negative and especially lateral g forces. To
put it another way these coasters are not for those with weak
constitutions.
