Goliath POV 5K B&M Hyper Coaster Six Flags Over Georgia Austell, GA

[@darthvader5532]

Its the only coaster on earth with ALL of these attributes. 1. It leaves the park. 2. It passes over another coaster from the same manufacturer twice. 3. It passes over a log flume ride. 4. It passes over the road leaving in and out of the parking lot. 5. It passes over a food vendor 6. It passes over 4 walkways, 3 in the park, one outside of the park. 7. Passes over 2 ponds There are a lot of coasters that do one or a few of these things in some combination, but none do ALL of them like Goliath. I love this ride.

[@Boofski]

These seem like very arbitrary and cherry picked attributes that don't really equate to anything, did you study yapology by chance?

[@collinparsons3363]

B&M hypers often have one, or a combination of 4 common flaws. -They lose a lot of speed going over the camelbacks -Forceless turnarounds -The ride sort of pauses at the mid-course brake run -Trim brakes Goliath seems to solve all of them. The train flies over the camelbacks, the turnaround is a downward helix, there is no mid-course, and the one set of trims doesn't hit very hard.

[@davidtran9130]

It makes sense why people think this is one of the best b&m hypers.

[@darthvader5532]

That downward helix😍😍😍

[@sddavis29]

hypers arent meant to be intense. they are for airtime and speed. make a hyper that incudes some inverted elements. when is place going to do a repaint of this. seriously 17 years old and never been repainted

[@mr.noride7226]

The only thing wrong with Goliath is that it’s the rattle.

[@darthvader5532]

@@mr.noride7226 I haven't ridden it in 2 years, has it started rattling?

[@Bravesthrills]

I rode that like 3 weeks ago it was my 2nd coaster of 2022. Amazing ride.

[@illumynarty]

Just rode this earlier today, still a great ride! My favorite B&M hyper out there, from the ones I've ridden

[@theyojo1656]

have you ridden raging bull?

[@illumynarty]

@@theyojo1656 no, the one's I've ridden are this one, Mako... Crap, that's it. Dang it I thought I rode more

[@NathanHydra]

@@illumynartymako is one of the highest acclaimed ones tho, so that’s saying something

[@illumynarty]

@@NathanHydra update, I have also ridden Intimidator and Diamondback now

[@skyguyismyguyr12turn]

I RODE THAT YESTERDAYYYY!!!🤩🤩🤩

[@PoshLife123]

The airtime on this thrill machine is absolutely awesome 👍👍👍

[@rossh688]

Best B&M hyper I've ever been on... One of the best hypers in the US... Only fault I can list is that the 1st and 2nd drops aren't as crazy as the rest of the ride. Needs to steal the 1st 2 drops on Candymonium... Very easy to overlook that weakness.

[@EastCoasters]

I agree, definitely. It’s my 3rd favorite hyper behind Diamondback and Candymonium.🥃

[@DuecePiece]

This looks sick! 🤘Definitely a sleeper B&M. I love they way they went over ponds, roads and buildings- that is an amazing way to utilize space! Any open spot in your park?! Slap a B&M thru it!

[@darthvader5532]

And walkways, another roller coaster and a log flume ride.

[@Gamerboimike6586]

That my favorite roller coaster at six flags over georgia

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I should do this and Batman: The Ride.

[@Gamerboimike6586]

I guess so

[@dominicb347]

easily my favorite hyper i've done, very happy that it's at my home park. those three hills at the end are fucking amazing in the front

[@inlinechris]

They’re way better in the back lol

[@randflam]

Can I use this If I give you credit?

[@EastCoasters]

Surely!🥃

[@randflam]

@@EastCoasters Thanks! Can I use all of your POV’s?

[@EastCoasters]

@@randflam you may! Just don’t crop out the watermark and give us credit🤌🏽

[@UnReal_Clan]

im really scared to ride this Lol. I want to ride it because my brother was terribly scared of rollercoasters but after he rode this he rode almost all of the rides in the park. should I ride it?

[@Itsyaboyharry98]

Seemed pretty smooth, have they fixed the rattle it had?

[@stephengurr8365]

In my opinion, no. Still rattles pretty bad this year

[@Itsyaboyharry98]

@@stephengurr8365 dang

[@mr.noride7226]

Opposite. I thought Goliath was pretty smooth before, I really noticed the rattle this year. My most recent visit I got a small headache from just two rides.

[@mythicgamingmk1105]

Most B&M Hypers are butter smooth but even for stable Go Pro footage this ride looks fairly rough

[@RodneyBernett2O11]

Almost blacked out on this. Looks tame from the ground.

[@sddavis29]

seriously can this get new paint

[@r.t.c.no.1529]

One flaw in this coaster IMO...4 row is like riding on a jackhammer. Other than that, my favorite B&M Hyper!

[@DanielBlaney]

I don't know why people think Mako is better. This ride is intense the whole way through vs makos second half is boring.

[@WapoStudios]

Yeah, I rode these within a week of each other and it’s not even close. Mako is good but is nowhere near as aggressive or consistent as Goliath.

[@theyojo1656]

gotta disagree. they’re both absolutely amazing rides, like most other b&m hypers, but mako takes the win. the airtime is considerably better on mako. this layout is definitely better, especially with the final set of ejector hills and helix, but mako just has better airtime.

[@WapoStudios]

@@theyojo1656 Mako for me only had stronger airtime than the other hypers on the speed hill and the hop into the mid course brake run. The rest of the moments were on par with the others. Other than the first drop, Goliath’s airtime is way stronger.

[@theyojo1656]

@@WapoStudios were you riding on the back train? it makes a massive difference. i thought Goliath’s floater was good, but makos was perfection. extremely strong and lasting. it’s the only b&m hyper i’ve ridden that can deliver that extreme level of floater

[@WapoStudios]

@@theyojo1656 yes, I rode it a few times in the back. Honestly the back was weaker than the front on Mako for me. The front had stronger air but those moments were about on-par with the weaker moments on Goliath.
