Roller coasters have long been a huge draw for thrill seekers everywhere. Nothing quite says "being alive" like testing fate on a speeding bullet, dipping and spinning around a steel cage of death.
Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia is a 200 foot high steel sit-down coaster with a 174 foot drop and speed of 70 miles per hour. Goliath is a hyper coaster made by B&M. It is spread over an 8.5 acre area of the park.
The ride is located in the USA section of the park, which was renovated during the early 90s to give it a 50s America sort of theme.
Goliath was named #9 in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards list of the top 50 steel roller coasters for 2006, which was the year that it opened. In 2007 it moved up a spot to #8.
