Goliath, Steel hypercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia, US.
Goliath is a steel hypercoaster at Six Flags Over Georgia that winds through the park grounds with a series of drops and turns. The track is built from tubular steel and follows a continuous circuit supported by tall columns at different heights.
The ride opened on April 1, 2006, after two earlier attractions were removed to make space for the new layout. Its construction marked the park's entry into the hypercoaster category with a height above 60 meters.
In the 2006 Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today, Goliath was voted the fourth-best new ride and the ninth-best steel roller coaster. Its highest ranking among steel coasters was fourth place, reached in 2009 and 2011.
One ride cycle lasts approximately three and a half minutes. Each of the two trains has nine cars seating four riders in a single row, 36 per train, and every seat has its own individual lap-bar restraint. The track runs about 4,480 feet (1,370 m) over roughly 8.5 acres.
The first drop descends 52 meters at a steep angle and accelerates the train to over 110 km/h (70 mph). The layout then leads through several lower hills where riders briefly lift out of their seats.
