Goliath Review, Walibi Holland Intamin Mega Coaster | Europe's Ride of Steel

[@anamore]

This is my personal favorite at Walibi Holland. And yes, I''ve ridden Untamed. There's just something special with this era of Intamin coasters.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I totally get why someone may prefer this ride.

[@darealguy8841]

Same! Untamed is good but the elements just feel like they're over in a flash.. whereas Goliath has those big camel backs and helixes

[@barryschalkwijk9388]

Goliath is so smooth...I don't think it gets enough credit for that. 0 jank, perfect seats for what it does to you...i just love it so much

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's very reridable.

[@charleskummerer]

The Goliath montage with music had me cracking up 😂

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome.

[@seanmarshmallow8861]

Great video! Love the channel, thanks for all the entertaining content!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@coasterconquistador2517]

This is the best coaster channel out there. The reviews are so in-depth and informative.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you!

[@cees04]

@@CanobieCoaster I love that you pay attention to every element on the ride.

[@thomasxl200]

Glad I wasn't the only one who burned through the RCT2 "real" scenarios. My obsession was X, which took me two decades (and a name change) to finally experience. Thankfully it lived up to the hype.

[@CanobieCoaster]

As cool as the 4D coasters are, I hated making them in RCT2.

[@thomasxl200]

@@CanobieCoaster They were terrible lmao. I just booted up the Magic Mountain map and stared, or plopped the X prebuilt into whatever scenario I was doing.

[@willt6970]

Fitting that the clip showing SFNE's Goliath didn't have a train running on it since that was its default state during park hours

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was rare to see it open.

[@maxhagenauer24]

Wow, this rode looks seriously like one of the best Intamins to be honest. It looks like a smaller Superman the ride but easily better than Millinium Force. The layout is fantastic, it has the strengle dice with tons of airtime as well as positive Gs. I love that airtime and positive G mix so much. And the fact this isn't even the parks best just shows this is the reason to go here.

[@CanobieCoaster]

If only the middle kept the intensity up.

[@michaeltaylor1603]

Glad you got your "bucket list" Respect the "BUCKET". Paint scheme #1 was interesting. Blue is one of my favorites. Yep! It still looks like a really fun Intamin.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a good ride.

[@troltristan6606]

MY GROW UP COASTER. This is the coast u rode the most before I was a coaster nerd so you could say this thing made my love for coasters

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

I definitely think the helixes and twisted hills are underrated. I found the helixes to have solid force, plus they're sustained, and the twisted hills gave good floater up front for me. Granted, those were warmed up rides

[@CanobieCoaster]

I rode this at the start and end of the day. Rode similarly for me.

[@semvisscher6419]

Thank you for reviewing goliath bro👍

[@CanobieCoaster]

You're welcome!

[@bridgetraveler7700]

I haven't seen Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England have trouble during rainy days with the drive tires struggling to pull the train into the station. The ride usually flies fast into the brake run on a rainy day

[@CanobieCoaster]

The ride will run fast as always in the rain, but if the tires get too slippery the train can get stuck. You'll hear the tires spin, but they can't quite push the train. I've been on the ride when this has occurred.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

This has been on my radar for a long time, with how much I love Intamins. I know I would love it, but I'll most likely prefer Untamed. Considering I like the Ride of Steels more than any Goliath, I have a feeling that this would be my favorite Goliath.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Quite possibly!

[@coastaku1954]

The Ride of Steels are really fun and underrated

[@pfirsichdrop]

I liked Goliath way more than I expected. The twisted hills don't do much, but the usual airtimehills are amazing. Out of the three Intamin megas I've done it's the weakest, but it's still one of my favorit Coasters.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a fun ride for sure.

[@chxlaw8588]

This was a funny one aswell. Great review!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@zuzmju]

I'll be at walibi next week, I'm kinda hyped but also hope it won't be a bad visit like my Heide Park trip this year

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had a good time at both this and Heide.

[@zuzmju]

@@CanobieCoaster I was there today really nice small park. Only thing it could use would be a decent dark ride. And Goliath was the first coaster which made me slightly grey out.

[@noclosecoasters9903]

Love the "Goliaths" montage

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thank you!

[@mateoalvira7826]

Do you know, all coasters using those t bars use them to allow airtime, but some people found a coaster that use them as instruments

[@CanobieCoaster]

They give good airtime on most.

[@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760]

I had Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 when I was a kid and I know it had all the American Six Flags park but I dont remember this park being in there, was it some kind of special edition?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was in there as Six Flags Holland along with Six Flags Belgium.

[@ihavetoreturnsomevideotape2760]

@@CanobieCoaster Man...I totally don't remember those at all lol

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

I wish we had more roller coaster games like rct2 I loved seeing real parks remade

[@CanobieCoaster]

Me too.

[@AirtimeProductions]

Looks to be an Intamin masterpiece! I just rode Toro last week, would you say that first camelback is similar?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Toro's camelback is stronger.

[@skyguyismyguyr12turn]

The coaster you compared to Goliath was my 150th coaster and I rode it for the first time less than a week ago. Ride of Steel was great. That first double helix grayed me out on both rides and it was amazing how it handled its pacing. I expect Goliath to be the best "Goliath" and almost as good as coasters such as Mako, and the Intamin Mega-lites. But this review of Goliath has kind of made my expectations go lower.

[@Ori_-]

I have ridden Goliath myself and I have gone on summer days so it was running very fast the drop is REALLY strong the first hill is amazing the helix and stengel dive are great he really made the S-hills look bad but they become actually quite decent it is definetly not very strong but it's more forces than what he said

[@CanobieCoaster]

I didn't greyout on the helixes on Ride of Steel, but I do on the turn after the first drop.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Do you like the Intamin T bar trains in all roller coasters that use them?

[@CanobieCoaster]

If they're smooth.

[@mateoalvira7826]

What happens with those t bars if a ride is smooth? What happens with them if a ride is rough?

[@CanobieCoaster]

They're comfortable if the ride is smooth. You can hit your legs on them if a ride is rough.

[@cees04]

Having ridden Goliath, I agree that the first drop & hill and the final hills are the strongest elements. I currently have it in 4th place, behind Untamed, Fenix and Troy.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice! I take it over Fenix for sure.

[@cees04]

@@CanobieCoaster Understandable. I like Fenix because it is very complete: theming, inversions, intensity and a bit of airtime.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Do you like those Intamin T bar restraints in a rough coaster? Why?

[@CanobieCoaster]

If a ride is rough, your calf can slam against the t bar.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Do you like equal smooth coasters and rough coasters?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer smoother rides.

[@DJWezzyK]

When you have done Bigger coasters, thus runs and feels like an Intamin Mega-Lite or a good family coaster.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Bigger isn't always better.

[@DJWezzyK]

@@CanobieCoaster No, but there are way better Intamins that are Bigger in Europe.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Yes

[@icyflame716]

The next addition to the park will actually be on the other side, in between goliath and xpress and it will be an rmc raptor. Currently planned for 2024

[@CanobieCoaster]

Cool!

0:34 Kondaa is taller and faster, but not longer than Goliath.

Ah ok, thanks.

[@aspeyal8239]

I loved that music at the 1 23 mark

[@CanobieCoaster]

Music in the description.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Did you like all Goliath coasters in the world? I also include one that has been standing but not operating and defunct

[@CanobieCoaster]

The New England one was bad with the new trains.

[@sebastiangron5050]

Next video: Rank all the seven Goliaths

[@CanobieCoaster]

I may do that eventually

[@jefroid661]

Goliath has a great first drop, camelback and stengel dive, the rest is decent at best (the last bunny hills are pretty good). I prefer the first camelback of Goliath to the ones on Geforce and Kondaa but the rest of those two rides are far better than Goliath which is why I prefer them both over Goliath.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer the camelbacks on GeForce and Kondaa myself, but Goliath's is great too.

[@mateoalvira3514]

To ride, what do you think about Goliath at Walibi Holland, do you like it more than Goliath at La Ronde? And than Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia? What do you think and why?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I prefer the La Ronde one to the Walibi one. I prefer the Georgia one to both since the airtime is stronger.

[@WCfanboy]

going to the Netherlands tommorow :)

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy!

[@Cascade777]

Do you know a roller coaster themed to Indiana Jones?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes, at Disneyland Paris.

[@handledav]

yes

[@CanobieCoaster]

That it's Ride of Steel?

[@maxjensen5813]

I rode Goliath around 2 weeks ago and I was actually quite disappointed. I acctually found this coaster kinda rough. It might have been the heat, I don't now, but it was somthing that knocked it down. I still do like the coaster and it is in my top 25 overall.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Did the car sort of jitter? I've had that happen on some hypers from Intamin.

[@maxjensen5813]

@@CanobieCoaster yeah I suppose it did. It wasn't insanely bad or anything however it still took some points away from the ride.

[@LegendofRelda]

If I’m honest, I liked Goliath more than Untamed. Untamed for me just felt like a really standard RMC. Excellent ride, just slightly edged out by Goliath for me since it felt more unique while still being an incredibly good ride. (Also definitely won points for being burned into my brain since 2003 because of RCT2)

[@CanobieCoaster]

I thought Untamed was a well above average RMC but to each their own.

[@LegendofRelda]

@@CanobieCoaster I totally get it and have no grievances with your opinions on Goliath and Untamed. I think I can say Untamed is objectively better but I preferred Goliath. Just the more speed based and deliberate nature of Goliath’s elements made each stand out where I felt Untamed’s element kinda blurred together outside the double inversion

[@clairefunnell8481]

Fun looking. I'd ride it if I could.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It is.

[@jtwoolley]

I prefer the old paint sceme, the rides fences still have that old color, to bad the trains are black, i also liked platform 13 more in red and condor in white, maybe i’m getting old😆

[@CanobieCoaster]

It definitely looked different just a few years ago.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Was Goliath at Walibi Holland the best Goliath coaster you've ridden? or the worst Goliath coaster you've ridden?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It's a good one, but I prefer the B&M ones.

[@Thim22Z7]

This is my 3rd favourite in the park, its fun but there are better coasters at WH. Lost Gravity at 1 and Untamed at 2

[@CanobieCoaster]

I easily take Untamed over this.

[@mich6425]

Needs more speed..

[@CanobieCoaster]

I thought it felt fast for me.

[@mateoalvira3514]

I saw POVs of a coaster that uses those T bars but it is rough and those T bars are used as instruments, I'm laughing

[@CanobieCoaster]

Coaster Express uses them to cause pain.

[@chargedonpc9989]

Do you prefer this to Ride of Steel?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Theyre next to each other in my ranks.

[@coastaku1954]

Why are you praising laterals so much? Being pushed to the side of the seats is very uncomfortable for me, I like rides that are banked correctly and with snappy, yet comfortable transitions, like I305

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like the wildness of laterals.

[@coastaku1954]

@@CanobieCoaster But it’s so uncomfortable, I may love The Beast, for example, but it needs way more banking

Imagine five roller coasters in the world that opened to those five types of reception: Acclaim Positive Rave Polarizing Negative What are the differences between those five types of reception upon openings?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The first 3 are good. Polarizing is mixed. Negative is bad.

[@dytamic]

seriously, why do people like airtime so much?!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I love the flying/floating sensation.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

That's because at the time Six Flags owned the Holland park and loved the name Goliath, so Six Flags used it for seven coasters. The first was Six Flags Magic Mountain and the second was...

[@CanobieCoaster]

Six Flags Holland's

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

Does Goliath at Walibi Holland have a longer track length than Expedition GeForce at Holiday Park or Coaster Express at Parque warner Madrid?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It used to be owned by Six Flags.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Likely on a clear day.

In 2017, did many enthusiasts like or love the rides on those three Goliath coasters: Goliath at Walibi Holland Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia Goliath at Six Flags New England What do you think?

Not New England's Goliath with the new train since it got rough.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What do you think about: Goliath at Walibi Holland Goliath at Six Flags New England Goliath at Six Flags Great America Do you think they were all tolerable?
