Goliath

Goliath is a steel roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal that spans 1231 meters of track. The ride operates two trains carrying 36 passengers each, completing the full course in about three minutes.

The ride opened in 2006 as the park's largest single investment since La Ronde's debut in 1967. This addition substantially expanded what the park offered to its visitors.

The name references a biblical figure known for great size and strength, giving the ride symbolic meaning beyond its physical scale. Visitors often notice this connection when learning about the attraction.

The ride generally operates well in dry weather, though rain can cause occasional temporary closures. It helps to keep your day's schedule flexible since operational pauses can happen.

The ride reaches 53 meters high and accelerates to 110 kilometers per hour with angles up to 70 degrees. This combination of speed and steep angles creates powerful forces that often surprise riders.
