Goliath: Documenting a Giant Six Flags Great America 2014

[@CoasterStudios]

This is fantastic! Great job! Very professional, awesome footage, and really tells you everything you possibly could want to know about this awesome coaster.

[@snackwrap2011]

I'm such a fan of ur videos I also subscribed to u and follow u on facebook and twitter my home park is carowinds are u excited as I am about next year

[@kingmarkvegas]

Full throttle has about the same amount of hang time as the zero-g stall

[@maxvanrossum1755]

I rode this yesterday twice and it was a BEAST! Best coaster in the park. Love the video as well. Great quality! Deserves 10,000 views or more!

[@BHV0810]

Hey Taylor, what makes a good coaster enthusiast?

[@brandoncole5533]

Wow this was from 4 years ago

[@Blink.M2Dev]

This ride is probably the best addition they have made to this park to date, an RMC was the perfect upgrade, and certainly a fantastic ride, great engineering from Rocky Mountain Construction and I can't wait to see their newest lineup of coasters.

[@kingdave747]

I've been watching this video 7 years straight! Out of most KZbin documentaries, this is one of the best I've ever seen. Excellent job!

[@The2Trolles]

This is just amazing. I could mistake it for a full blown professional documentary!

[@JohnSmith-mk5xm]

Love this coaster, the best in the park. It would have made it higher on my list of all time if it was longer though.

[@JiggidyNDG]

I'm so glad to check in and see that this video has reached 50,000 views and more! I'll have to share this again during the off-season! Thanks again for doing this, and for the amazing memories!

[@PacificDaneOfficial]

Imagine what a pop filter could have done for this :D Very good info. Great work. Edit: i do need to add how awesome it is, with word from Park officials, and the actual guys at RMC!

[@WildGuyWiley]

Awesome job! Very professionally well done! Make sure to share this with the park!

[@godkinghell15]

[@ICU306]

[@BasketballCasual]

Dude this is so amazing great working! Good job everyone in this documentary and the makers. Woo hoo

[@CrazyDiamnd76]

Well Done, Great America was never on my list of parks to go to, however it is now.

[@trldj8394]

Nick, this is great. You really know about Great America.

[@stormgirl09]

this is my favorite wooden roller coaster! :P To bad its kind short though but still awesome. Speaking of epic wooden coasters i want to try El Toro one day i never been there to Great Adventure and would like to one day. Lightning Rod looks like another wooden coaster id like to try too and never been to Dollywood either.

[@utahcoasterenthusiasts]

Great Job. Very much Enjoyed it!

[@scottn7cy]

Well done video - I enjoyed it a lot!

[@snowyowl1028]

This is making me so pumped for the trip I take to the park this summer. Hope the 6 hour drive is worth it! I know it will.

[@Pure_Jake1238]

It's worth the six hour ride. But the line can be any where from an hour and an half to three hours

[@derrickrosejr3747]

i cannot wait to go this summer omg

[@MrEeckheart]

Amazing job looks proffessional

[@urbex_coasters]

LOL Cedar Fair watched this. Literally, the song you put over the follow the journey is what they are using for the hurler teaser.

[@boweandrew3]

Great first documentary keep them coming

[@coastrhuntr3102]

I love this video it makes me really happy!

[@CoasterParkKlub]

Excellent!

[@HonestCoasterFan]

[@nick42085]

Great job!

[@ThemeParkJunky51290]

[@thecoasterarmy7502]

[@veronicagomez4109]

I literally had to FORCE my Dad on this Dran Ride And after the ride he was like "Why didnt u force me on this earlier?"

[@MattPerk7]

Good job Nick

[@WolfRaging95]

Such a great video! Nice job!

[@sfgamevaluator8956]

Look closely at 1:22 you can see the camaro that is on display driving behind Scott!

[@ashleyherrera4744]

YEAH BUMBLEBEE!!!

[@kyrinlloyd]

This is so awesome

[@BenneLuke]

WOW! Awesome job!

[@MyIphoneGaming]

2:03 where would the inversions come from? Also Why is it so short? Also the music made me cry at the part with Z Force 😰

[@XGaming1]

Flip Tube AHHHHHHHHH!!!

[@pigeonandpepatv2113]

I went on Goliath and it was one the best days of my life it just so awesome it's the best ride ever even tho I was scared at first but I made a promise with my best friend to go on it and I did it was the best thing ever. I really really recommend this ride if you to six flags great America it's the most great feeling I honestly don't know where to start it just more then amazing

[@hunterwolff-schollmeyer3902]

Omg same! I made a promise to a close friend of mine to go on this ride too. We are prob going this Wednesday, 05/22/19.

[@XGaming1]

19:21 i couldnt help laughing at that face in in background

[@Paolo8772]

Bandit (a Togo coaster in Japan) was a stand-up coaster, taller and faster than Iron Wolf and it opened in 1988. It was the world's tallest and fastest coaster of any kind at the time, beaten by Max XL-200 a year later.

[@MyIphoneGaming]

This is one of my favorite Goliaths

[@dixfixcitygaming8431]

Why the heck does this guy have only 209 subs this is like movie level documentary

[@briceonmonk1993]

The video was nice Goliath ride is amazing ride I ride it one but more to come ride the Goliath.

[@vanessajazp6341]

I believe the first Goliath coaster in Six Flags Magic Mountain (California) back in 2000.

[@JLWGames]

I get to ride this later this year! I have been on Outlaw Run (thousands of times) and everyone I have talked to says Outlaw Run is better. This year I get to judge that myself.

[@chi-townconcerts3485]

I think it would be amazing to get rid of the eagle for a giga coaster or viper for an rmc single rail

[@brandoncole5533]

Savage Squad Gamer I’m on boat for the giga coaster but what about rmc viper

[@flyers668]

This ride is amazing, the only rides i've been on that tops it is maverick and Millennium Force (but not by much)

[@grantweilandt9077]

What’s sad is I’m watching this 4 years in the future what is also sad is when they said it was s unique ride (battle for matropolis, dark night ride, joker, hang over. LOL

[@ritalake6579]

How can a wooded roller coaster goes up side down with a shoulder hardness on it but it have seatbelts and lapbars on it..

[@davidspitzfaden9159]

im confused? Theres no over shoulder bars at all only lap bars and seat belt thats it

[@ritalake6579]

I don't know I'm trying figure that out

[@davidspitzfaden9159]

figure what out? What dont you get? Coasters can go upside down with just regular lap belts now many dont have shoulder restraints cause of headbanging and complaints! so they dont have em very simple nothing to figure out

[@MyIphoneGaming]

22:37 THERE IS NO ZERO G ROLL

[@charliefandre]

Next Step: Battle for Metropolis in 2016 and The Koker 4D coaster in 2017

[@charliefandre]

I meant The Joker

[@onlyshorts878]

What kings island has the most wooden Coaster track in the world

[@coasterstud7353]

How about world shortest coaster

[@jamarioninfinitygaming7046]

there wasn't alot of room in the area, thats why

[@MyIphoneGaming]

Coaster Stud ITS LIKE A MILIMETER LONG

[@matthewczelusniak1885]

i still say this is steel coaster,but what do i know.

[@brandoncole5533]

Matthew Czelusniak 🤦🏾‍♂️I’m starting to think you’re gp

[@gokumodz5019]

Dude at the beginning smelling his arm pit on the ride smh

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

Guy at the end thinks he wants smoke from Magic Mountain.

[@justinlangosch7523]

until cedar fair decides what to do with Rocky Mountain Construction Six Flags has a slim advantage over them. if and when cedar fair enters the gsme on their side. nothing will beat goliath

[@justinlangosch7523]

To be honest... Your parks are awesome out their being to both. I'd drive 5 hours to the point the 1.5 to SFGAM anyday.

[@XGaming1]

Justin Langosch cough cought EVERYOTHER RMC BEATS GOLIATH EXEPT FOR THE JOKER AT SIXFLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOM BECAUSE THE DROP SUCKS COUGH COUGH

[@zacharywoodman6445]

Now that Steel Vengance is a thing, this comment aged poorly

[@BackSeatJunkie]

Cedar Fair: "Here, hold my beer."

[@kartert.jefferson6759]

I wanna know why Six Flags always recycling the same names over and over again

[@locomike1219]

Really enjoyed the research and interviews you did, but your narrating voice is reeeeally difficult to listen to. It sounds like youre reading directly off of a piece of paper you only just now saw. You also took the "g" off of a lot of words (like "openin" vs "opening"at about 19:30ish). Other than that, i definitely appreciated the history you provided and the context of it's construction.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I thought "Z-Force" was "Flashback" at SFMM, it has to have bin moved at some point, cause that pichure with the name on it was no lie (i hope). RIP. What? This ride doesn't have a raven turn, only the 4D's have those. :O I still think this ride is kind of short, maybe it just seems that way cause its fast, but 90 second ride time? That's not exactly very long. Enjoyed the video though, it was pretty interesting, had lots of facts all in one place, thanks for making. :D

[@MyIphoneGaming]

Yah, what do they mean by raven turn?

[@Smoovey]

But isn't Goliath considered a "steel coaster" just like the rest of the RMC's?? It was stated in this video that this park has a record for having the longest wooden track in a park with 16,000 ft. But the track to Goliath is actually steel.

[@grantweilandt9077]

Smoovey , the support is metal

[@Smoovey]

100,000 subscribers with no posts with no videos the support and the track are both steel, so then it’s a “steel coaster”, not a woody as it’s stated in the video.

[@brandoncole5533]

The track Goliath uses is topper-track While a lot of rmc’s coasters use their steel I-box track(which is steel) The topper track is wooden track but has a thin layer of steel on top of the thick main wooden track but since it’s main component is wooden it’s considered as wooden track making Goliath a wooden coaster

[@xhaanfilms2479]

I caught someone's credit card on this ride

[@justimagine2403]

But who will top the kingda ka?

[@AadenLu]

Is it me or it looks like hes crying when hes talking about zforce and iron wolf

[@charliefandre]

Plus the speed was topped. Lightning Rod at Dollywood is faster

[@katerinakittycat3849]

Well that's RMC for you meow meow

[@djsugarc1075]

Iron wolf was the first b&m, American eagle was one of if not the first intamin rollercoasters hahaha

[@navyswae]

“Anybody that’s going to try and top this rollercoaster good luck” Hahah sucks steel vengeance snatched the Guinness book like it was being handed out. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BackSeatJunkie]

Yeah, I was giggling as the ever growing list of "tallest, fastest, longest, biggest, most amazingest" coasters scrolled across my brain. I remember when Screamin' Eagle at Six Flags Mid-America St. Louis was the owner of that title. LOL. Time marches on.

[@edwardfelix5838]

Nick I loved everything about your video except your Narrating your to monotone, sorry please don't take this offensively this is just my opinion your great at what you do and I can't wait to see your SFMM TwistedColossus documentary when it's ready.

[@Paolo8772]

Fred Grubb ought to come out of the closet already. Scratch that: this coaster takes up so little space my closet is bigger. Not as tall and fast mind you, but enough room to come out of the closet.

[@naythansanchez704]

cough cough iron rattler!!

[@Jeronimogrim]

Im not a fan of RMCs I dont know why!

[@jei2574]

Quit calling it a wood coaster

[@coasterproductions83]

jei2574 it is a wooden roller coaster....

[@rcsinger17]

Dreams to screams much?

[@matthewbulava7011]

i hated this ride it was so boring i went to cedar pout and then went on this cedar pouts ride are all better

[@lnboria3498]

Matthew Bulava cedar point fanboy

[@brandoncole5533]

Leave cedar point fanboy Go watch some blue streak documentary or something

[@coasterproductions83]

I'm sorry but please start saying your 'g's ex. drawinG not drawin' it's SO annoying.... anyway great job!

[@channelthree6678]

SFGAm is unrecognizable from its original classic theme park appeal in 1976. Online photos from the 70's reveal that the park once had a colonial feel to it, with lush landscaping and cleverly themed areas. Wide midways lyrically danced around hidden ride entrances. Unique rides like the Yukon Yahoo and the birdcage ferris wheel gave the park a distinctive look and homespun patriotic revolutionary feel. Now SFGAm looks like an Arkansas carnival, but without the class. There are no fewer than six places where you can buy funnel cakes, an embarrassingly primitive menu item, but so brazenly available here that the entire park appears to have been eaten and shat out by Walmart. The carnival-like game prizes are duplicated in every single game trailer-- a laughable set of dyed cheese cloth covered polystyrene stuffed characters, free of recognizable copyright image or whimsical appeal of any kind. Aesthetically, the park is a hodgepodge of graphic design conflicts. The only place where you can find a wider design color palette is in children's vomit after a visit to a Skittles factory. There are so many legal warning signs cluttering every pathway that it looks like the park was bought out by Anton Scalia with a signage print shop. The entire park's cramped design aesthetic is one of desperation-- "use any paint bucket that's available", along with a last minute cut to any remaining foliage budget. The original designers of the park must just gasp when they walk into the cramped, sideshow-laden, Tru-link fence smothered trailer park. The only ray of hope left in the design is a swath of fresh cut grass next to the lift hill of the American Eagle, likely maintained by an employee who is able to tend to it off the clock, and who is able to hide it from the park designers because it's in an out of the way corner. The entire venue just chokes, gasps, and begs for an upgrade and focused unifying re-design. A gut wrenchingly shameful plasticine rape of it original concept, and an embarrassment for international visitors.

[@derpband4083]

Channel Three When it was built, it was not a Six Flags park. It was owned by Marriott. They had more free reign to design as they pleased. Over the years, the six flags acquisition, rise in lawsuits against theme parks, corporate infiltration and a couple bouts with owners who just didn't give a crap about anything more than bleeding the park system of money led to all the issues you have. They will never be fixed to your liking, I'm sure. As to the (crowded midways), it's necessary to add attractions over time to keep people coming back. It's a natural progression for any park. Unfortunately, they're incredibly land locked by the road system around them, so they need to work with that they have space wise. Just know, that most decisions are not made willy nilly, there's usually a pretty good reason (usually based on money), and what you see now is a conglomeration of over 40 years of existence.
