About Le Goliath

The Bolliger & Mabillard coaster measures over 53 metres (175 feet) in height. After an initial drop of over 52 metres (171 feet), passengers take a 1,231-metre (4,039-foot) route at speeds reaching 110 km/h (68 mph) for over three minutes.

The Goliath cost $18.7 million, the largest investment for a single ride since the park opened in 1967. The giant roller coaster was inaugurated on May 11, 2006. -- Last edited by Jean-Michel Boily

Airtime magic. Just flies out of the back of the park to the rear parking lot and back. Nothing but up, down, and airtime. - Todd Houts
