I've sort of ridden this ride. Last time I was at Magic Mountain, Goliath was under construction. I got a good view of it by riding Colossus. I have ridden Titan many times which is almost-but-not-quite identical. I've never seen what it looks like from the helix to the last curve because I gray out every time. Thanks for posting the PPOV so I can get a clue.

So many people give so much shit to Goliath, and I realize this is a super unpopular opinion…. But I love Goliath so damn much!! Yes the MCBR does kill the second half a bit, but the final helix is the only coaster section I’ve ever greyed out on, and u can’t beat a classic chain lift hill

We went out to Magic Mountain a few week ago (Over Texas is our home park), and the first thing I noticed (aside from MM being an infinitely better park) is that Goliath creeps over the top of the lift hill. Titan doesn't do that. Very odd, and just kills the first drop. At least Titan's first drop is worth the trouble. Goliath's first drop is just dull. So Titan is crap after the first drop, Goliath is crap the entire way.

I remember going on this the first year it came out. At the time Goliath came out it was the tallest full circuit coaster on Earth. It had the tallest drop. A few months later the opening of Millenium Force pretty much made Goliath a forgotten coaster for a lot of people. MIllenium Force was the worlds first Giga coaster. It’s a shame that Magic Mountain still does not have a Giga, but I digress. Goliath was super disappointing when I first rode it. It’s an ok ride now. Very smooth. Not a terrifying first drop for a lot of roller coaster enthusiasts (thoosies) but it’s still a solid drop. Titan at Six Flags Over Texas is very similar to Goliath. There’s some differences about that ride, but the biggest difference is that when you’re on Titan you have an incredible view of the AT&T and the baseball stadiums. It’s pretty awesome. Anyways, thanks for the upload! Maybe Goliath could use a repaint? And they need to fix the misters that they used to have at the bottom of the first drop. Magic Mountain doesn’t maintain the little special effects of their rides and it really shows.

@@MrOPM-vc6ow it’s because the trend in the roller coaster world was going for a more forceful drop. A lot of Alan Schilke roller coasters feature a very very steep drop.

@@realmackle sometimes you don't actually come to a stop, other times you sit there for a bit. there could also be some sensor management that determines how much force to slow the train down by, but I have no idea why it needs to just sit there... and don't get me started on the 1 foot track nugget at the end...

I remember first seeing this ride back in like 2005. Refused to get on it. Went again in 2006, still refused. Went again in 2007. Nahhhhhhh... Finally got on it in 2012 and it was one of the sickest coasters I've been on. Haha

I rode Goliath in July 2021 and honestly loved the ride. The MCBR does kill off alot of the momentum

Me and 5 of my friends went to Magic Mountain at the beginning of the summer. We were all hyping up the rides like Goliath, Superman, Twisted Colossus and more. I had never been on ANY roller coasters before in my life. The first thing we did when we got to the park was Goliath. I was so scared to do it, but I didn’t want to miss out on the experience. Probably the biggest mistake of my life, since I definitely wasn’t warmed up and ended up passing out. After we did Goliath though, the rest of the rides at the park was a breeze and were pretty fun.

I believe they have changed the lap bar since 2005. I remember the lap bar being smaller and scary as hell

this was the fastest ride I've ever been on until I went to Carowinds in NC and got on Intimidator 305 (80mph) and Fury 325 (95mph). crazy.
@OrpheussZ062 жыл бұрын
I305 actually goes up to 94mph. That’s in Kings Dominion in Virginia. Live right next to it and I305 is hands down one of the most intense rollercoasters in the world in terms of pure G forces.

Not in California (although I wish it would come here) but King Da Ka in Jersey literally launches you at 125mph in just a few seconds to 456 feet before going over the top hat and plummeting back down at about 128mps. Magic mountain NEEDS a ride like this.

This is my kind of coaster! High, fast, and no inversion! I have an immense fear of being upside down. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. I can handle any position on a roller coaster. Forwards, backwards, even sideways. But upside down? Nope! Forget it! If it goes upside down I'm out! That first steep drop may scare me a bit but it looks really fun!
@michaelfjmusic2 жыл бұрын
You never feel like you're going upside down when you are. When you're going through an inversion, you experience high g-forces that force you down into your seat, so you feel right side up the whole time. There are some coasters like Viper and Full Throttle that you feel upside down on, because they go through very slowly, but they're the exception rather than the rule.
