This is one hell of airtime! The 2nd best hyper I've ever been on.

Amazing ride, short but sweet. back seat gives the most airtime especially on the hump before the brakes. i still think apollo is better but this comes pretty close.

I just rode this coaster yesterday (April the 22nd) and it was awesome! It was smooth and had lots of airtime!

Awesome airtime! It's so wild how the back seat every hill starts off floater airtime and then turns into ejector!

This ride is just sick. Easily one of my favorites...there is Intamin-style airtime at the end combined with the B&M floater airtime. I love it!

Awesome air time. Especially in the back. You get at least a second of air time on each hill. It is simply the best B&M coaster in the park. (Or outside the park)

I rode this Memorial Day weekend, and I predicted that day that Goliath would be featured on the Amusement Today Top 10 list for 2006, and it got #9. Although, I think it deserved higher. It's a great ride, smooth, decent length, with a great design (characteristic of B&Ms). AWESOME airtime as well, best B&M hyper I've rode! I would recommend it to anyone!

Well, this was my first B&M hyper ever, and I must say that it was amazing. The seats were super comfortable, which also gave a since of freeness. This coaster was also shockingly scary at first during my first couple of rides. I didn't expect the ejector air that seemed to be in abundance on nearly every hill (front row and back), even the last before the break run had a nice strong pop. Great ride, Great layout, but has a dorky soundtrack playing in the que area, but non-the-less an outstanding addition to SFOG!

This is a solid hyper and it definitely did not let me down when I was riding it. Its glassy smooth and its pretty fun to "leave" the park and then come back in without having to check to see if your hand is stamped.lol Although it is not my top 2 hypers that I have ridden, it is still a solid ride that I recommend for everyone.

Goliath...I think its a great ride although its basically an oversized Scream Machine with a Helix. Me and my coworkers got to ride it the night before opening day (when we got off) And as we were riding and screaming u could see people stopping and getting out of their cars staring in amazment as we flew OUTSIDE the park. Once again...a Great ride Its a must for any SFOG visitors (If u meet the 54" hight requirement) And dont mind the line...just bring an IPOD because the Que music is awful.

Goliath totally rocks! It has to be the best coaster I have ever ridden. The only thing that scares me is the lap bar instead of a shoulder harness. It is wild.
