Goliath Front Seat on-ride POV Walibi World, Netherlands

[mariodiddy04]

is this the one going to sfne

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@mariodiddy04 No. Six Flags New England already has one of these Intamin mega coasters called Bizarro. The new coaster they are getting is called Goliath, but it's the old Déjà Vu coaster from Six Flags Magic Mountain (which is a Vekoma giant inverted boomerang coaster). We've posted on-ride POV & off-ride videos of Déjà Vu on this channel. if you want to check them out. /watch?v=xNWBzKUuJgs /watch?v=QqHQvBDnXYw

Dear Thorpe Park

Please Get one of these

[MrZombow]

This Goliath coaster is the best! And that's because of the fact that Intamin made this!

But Giovolana was also great. Wasn't B&M and Intamin co-operating with Giovolana or something?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MrZombow Giovanola was frequently contracted by Intamin for steel work on their early coasters and Bolliger & Mabillard were two engineers that worked for Giovolana before breaking away to form their own company.

[MrZombow]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Oh, finally I know! Thank you answering ;D

[Magicoflive]

Coasterforce do you like this coaster?

And this is the first with a stengel dive:A

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Magicoflive Yes, very much, & yes.

[xspit0200]

what do you mean by intamin

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@xspit0200 Intamin is a coaster manufacturing company.

[xspit0200]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom oh thanks

[hoopsnyoyo15]

Coasterforce what is your favorite intamin hypercoaster?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@hoopsnyoyo15 Bizarro at Six Flags New England, especially before the changes when it was Superman Ride Of Steel.

[halo123keano]

best coaster in europe it's so smooth and it goes really fast :)

[Magicoflive]

Do you love this intamin coaster i m 11 years old and i love this one

[CoolioJoe100]

LOL! You spelled "GOLAITH" instead of Goliath! I think that's the first time I've seen you guys make a spelling error, though. ;)

[bohrokthunder]

if only they put a corkscrew in the middle of the lake

[MichealJ337956]

what does pov mean?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@MichealJ337956 Point Of View

[arschgesicht6246]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom not personal own view? :D

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@arschgesicht6246 No. Many POVs are not personal, but simply a camera attached to something, often things that a person cannot be in or on (i.e. weather balloons, missiles, deep sea robots. etc.).

[arschgesicht6246]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom okay thanks for the information :)

[hatecia]

yep and i can know it couse i live in the netherlands

[halo123keano]

best coasters in the netherlands :D

[iTomzXD]

Wow.. imagine if the brakes actually failed

[guitarher04lif3]

@iTomzXD I dont wanna imagine that lol!!! ive been on this coster lots of times

[PartehmunzX]

@iTomzXD You die even with the brakes working

[iTomzXD]

@PartehmunzX your only saying that is because a man died on a Intamin Ride like this at a six flags theme park right.

[PartehmunzX]

@iTomzXD Not really, Its just that i've rode this so many times and i know how the brakes feel.

[xXxDrSpectacularxXx]

iv got one of these in my backyard (:

[iTomzXD]

@xXxDrSpectacularxXx I WANT ONE TOO D:

[Jemdt3121996]

I think i actually blacked out for a few seconds on those helices.

[BoMbErSwArRiOr]

wow, great coster and good quality :D

[maxk880]

This is a very fun ride

[mookiesuperhero]

can't wait to go on this one again in august :)

it's the most intense coaster i've ridden until today, considering g-forces and air-time. and you just gotta love the stengel dive

[MinkyBoodle44]

i think more coasters need stengel dives.

[TripleJ500]

I think the Goliath at MGIC mOUNTAIN OR oVER gEORGIA R DA BEST

[LeChiffre67]

Yes this is easily the best Goliath. In fact it may be earth's best steel roller coaster; only Expedition GeForce has the potential to de-throne it. Also, let me clear up the hyper, mega, and mega-lite confusion once and for all. Hyper coaster means lift or longest drop have a 60 metre minimum height. Mega coasters are less than that but at least 45m in height. Mega-Lite means between 30 and 44m.

[AsItNeverSeems]

@LeChiffre67 and to put the Giga and Strata coaster status into there Giga coaster is something over 91m or 300Ft. a strata coaster is something reaching over 121.92m or 400Ft. and for all of the Americans here i will say that a hyper coaster is over 60m or 200Ft, a Mega coaster is something over 45m or 150Ft, a mega light is something between 30-44m or 100-149Ft.

[IhaveSonar]

@LeChiffre67 Errr.... Dont get me wrong, Goliath and GeForce are great coasters, but you've gotta consider Millenium Force, Intimidator 305, Bizzaro, and the B&M hypers before you can say that....

[LarssAshleyy]

I went there yesterday!

it was awesome

[Frshtodef1]

that was weak......................

[6flgslover]

I knew there were 5 i just kept 4getting where the other 1 wuz and it's in WALIBI WORLD ;)

[6flgslover]

i just always 4get the height but as i can rmeeber isnt this the smallest of the FOUR (i no there r 5 GOLIATHS but i h8 thaT the so called GOLIATH in fiesta texas is just batman recoloured and duznt even own up 2 the GOLIATH name)

[JaquelineBolm]

Das ist echt derbst geil

[timbuergers1]

I'm from Germany and this is the only Goliath Coaster i ever rode . I think it was great but I did not ride any coaster in the USA :(

[farjohons]

wow, very powerful brakes

[Phant0mZer0]

@farjohons because it's Intamin.

[Alternative0Freak]

@farjohons yeah and they are very smooth

[sizadasuza]

the funny thing about this ride is when you ride it you can actually see fish in the water :)

[XxDrago16xX]

This is just a green Superman ride lol

[TheSoundDepo]

Do you guys at Coaster Force ever get in trouble for having a camera on board coasters?

[EastCoasterGeneral]

I can only speak for myself & the answer is no. I always ask permission first.

[mookiesuperhero]

@EastCoasterGeneral i would like to know, have you ever been denied permission? i mean, after all every ride has a sign in the queue area that says "watch your stuff". so actually the ride ops dont need to care about your camera, do they? sometimes i even filmed while leaving the station and passing the ride ops and no one ever said anything. still, i somehow feel the need to keep it hidden until the ride starts ;)

[EastCoasterGeneral]

@mookiesuperhero I've been denied permission to film at certain times, but have always been able to arrange another time to come back & do so. Sometimes I've had to go to a park early before opening to film & other times they have let me stay late after the park closes to film nighttime POVs.

The reason the ops need to care is because someone could be injured if you dropped your camera & it hit them.

[mookiesuperhero]

@EastCoasterGeneral okay, thanks for the reply :)

[Frantopia]

I guess falling into oblivion isn't too bad, then :p

I still wish we could have some really tall, long ones though.

Ah well. I'm going to Port Aventura next year, so that should be fun. Dragon Khan ftw!  :)

[Frantopia]

Gahh, it looks so good.

I wish I didn't live in Britain :\

As much as I like Alton Towers, it's getting rather boring now!

[chillsons]

Its Six Flags Holland

[Greatdrift2]

not anymore. A few years back, Six Flags had to sell 7 parks to PARC Management so they can get more money. Six Flags Holland was one of the 7 ill fated parks.

[FreightlinerFred]

@chillsons no it's not owned by six flags, it used to be.

[WinningerProductions]

i don't know if its the best out of all 5 because i haven't been on any of them sadly but it's a piece of art for sure Werner Stengel is a genius designer.

[trainlova12]

whats intamin mean?

[WinningerProductions]

intamin ag is a roller coaster manufacturer

[trainlova12]

o thx

[sailormoonrox1]

Flippn' sweet!! XD

[brawler100]

Valencia's for the win:)

[chobo500]

why are there no intiman mega lites in the US?

[EastCoasterGeneral]

I would guess it's because the parks over here tend to go for bigger=better & the mega-lites are just overlooked.

[RollercoasterFreak3]

For all those comparing this to other Goliaths, this isn't even the same coaster type OR manufacturer. The ones you are thinking of are B&M hyper coasters while this is an Intamin mega-lite. This is less expensive, has a smaller footprint, and in my opinion offers a better ride.

[EastCoasterGeneral]

Sorry RollercoasterFreak3, but both Intamin & the park, as well as every major roller coaster website, consider this to be a mega coaster. This coaster has a footprint bigger than Bizarro at SFNE & mega-lites are much smaller. And since they all have the same name I don't see any problem comparing them, even if they are different types & manufactures. Even the B&Ms are different types. One's an invert & the others are megas.

[pandaluvr1994]

That looks cool, but I still think that Goliath at SFOG is the best one of all hands down! :)

[EastCoasterGeneral]

I think the one at SFOG is the best B&M, but I'll take an Intamin over a B&M any day. Of course that's just my opinion & I really like both.

[pandaluvr1994]

I haven't ridden an Intamin, or any other B&M I think, so I can't really compare.. Just wondering, are Intamin's that much different then a Hyper coaster like the one at SFOG? I know Intain is the designer and all.

[EastCoasterGeneral]

I think there's a big difference in airtime between the B&Ms & the Intamins. The B&Ms are floaters and the Intamins are ejectors. Both are good, but give you a totally different sensation. So it's a matter of preference. Do you like to be ejected out of your seat at the top of the hills or do you like to float out of your seat all the way to the bottom of the hill? The Intamins are quick & forceful, whereas the B&Ms are more sustained.

[pandaluvr1994]

Oh I get it! I like how you feel like your floating on Goliath at SFOG...so Intamin's would be more forceful...sounds cool! It sounds like it would be a more intense ride that way too...sweet! Not that B&M's aren't fun, they are!!!!! :D

[iCanMakeYourMontage]

:P first coaster loved it!

[linkfanatic13579]

where is walabi world? I'm guessing australia...

[EastCoasterGeneral]

Actually it's near Biddinghuizen in the Netherlands/Holland. That's about 45 miles east of Amsterdam.

[mattforsoccer89]

whats an intamin? and how many coasters habe you rode? I wish i did all this

[EastCoasterGeneral]

Intamin is a roller coaster manufacturer & I've ridden 394 coasters so far.

[Jmarley912]

@mattforsoccer89 intamin is a rollercoaster company

[xtremespeed128]

yeah, certainly awesome, but the La Ronde & SFOG Goliaths are also excellent.

[MrMcgee245]

This looks so smoothe.

[alexroksateverything]

dang... how many roller coasters have you ridden in your life? like an estimate i guess over 200 atleast

[EastCoasterGeneral]

I've ridden 394 different coasters so far & made over 350 POVs. Needless to say, I've got a lot more to post here & on my youtube channel.

[chobo500]

nope. under 200. this is an intiman mega-lite.

[alexroksateverything]

lol he just said hes ridden 394 different roller coasters

[chobo500]

oops, I though you ment the hight of the ride. sorry.

[alexroksateverything]

lol its fine :P

[erik111erik]

Nope, this is an Intamin mega, you can see it on their website yourself.

[EastCoasterGeneral]

Sorry Chobo500, but both Intamin & the park, as well as every major roller coaster website, consider this to be a mega coaster. Mega-lites are much smaller, as Jewls1993 points out.

[crazyquale25SH]
