Was here last year for a family vacation and me and my sister rode this ride! We r coaster geeks so we ride a lot. This one packs a serious punch! RMC did such a good job making this a hybrid . The airtime is insane and the zero g stall was so much fun! I would say the line does get long sometimes over an hour but it’s well worth it. The elements on this coaster r really fun and surprising as well. It’s a tad bit rattly but it’s not rough it’s just not butter smooth like steel vengeance is at cedar point. Definitely come check it out though!

It’s a short ride that is very punchy. The stall inversion is so fun and my favorite element on this ride.

Amazing ride! The drop is so intense and being a hybrid makes it a super smooth ride. Sideways curves, corkscrews, loop that feels like a stall while upside down. Only thing that I wish I would have been prepared for, there is NOTHING to hang onto. Lol my husband didn't want to ride front row, so I couldn't see how much more track we had to climb and that was a mental scare when I KNEW what the drop looked like, the anticipation with no handles made it extra terrifying, but it was so great. Definitely in my top 5 favorite coasters at Great America, but it's definitely a max thrill coaster too.

Such a fantastic ride. Great mix of old and new tech. High intensity ride without crossing the line of too much at any specific transition or feature. The zero G roll is definitely an amazing feature.

Goliath is a very solid coaster to the lineup at Great America. It is a must ride in the front row. The first drop is very good, though the best part of the ride is the zero-G stall, giving elite hangtime. The ride does have a slight bump though. Overall, Goliath is a very good coaster.

It is an oldie but a goodie! Going up the first bit can be a bit scary because the chains that pull you up are loud but it is still a great ride and will always be one of my favorites. Though it is definitely not for the faint of heart considering that there are no headrests or great handle bars/hand holds. The wait time is either 25/30 min or super long but I think that it is well worth the longer waits. When ever I go to six flags we almost always stop at Goliath!

This was one of the best hybrid coasters I've been on, this not only had an amazing adrenaline rush drop but the half loopdy loop was insane. Definitely worth any wait

We arrived at 11am when the park opened and the kids got on a lot of rides. However when 6pm arrived the line to get in was extremely long and the park filled up fast and then the wait time for rides was 60 minutes or longer for the popular rides.
