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!

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!

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.

Out of the 7 large coasters I went on in my day at Six Flags, this was probably the best one. It was really quick getting in with The Flash Pass, and it is really fast and exciting, with everything I like to have in a roller coaster.

Goliath at Six Flags Great America is an absolute powerhouse and deserves a full 5-star rating! This ride is an adrenaline junkie’s dream, with its record-breaking speed and incredible drops. The first drop is mind-blowingly steep, giving you an intense rush of excitement right from the start. The inversions are smooth and thrilling, and the overall design of the coaster is impressive. Despite its intensity, Goliath is surprisingly smooth, making for an enjoyable ride from start to finish. It’s definitely one of the standout attractions at the park and a must-ride for anyone seeking an unforgettable coaster experience!

This ride is THE BEST at the park. Typically short lines, a long ride experience, and a stomach dropping near vertical drop. This is and will always be my favorite ride at the park.

Goliath is RMC’s second ground up coaster and it does not disappoint. The drop off the lift hill and combination of elements work so well together. The ride is on the shorter side but wow does it pack a punch. The stall feels like you are hanging there for such a long time. You don’t get extreme forceful ejector air time like in the some the other RMCs, but this is just a fun ride.
