OMG! OMG! OMG! That first drop at that height was so amazing. Then all the turns and especially that circle that pins the riders at about 4G (that's 4 time gravity and not wireless speed) makes you think that you can be a fighter pilot or something, if you can handle it. I would definitely ranked Goliath as my 4th ride at SFMM. - D.S. Francisco

I love mega coasters, so of course Goliath ranks up there. Goliath was the first ride we rode when we went to SFMM. It was a good one to bring my boyfriend on first since he had never ridden a real roller coaster in his life and I knew the ride would be smooth. I enjoyed every moment of Goliath. There was plenty of airtime! I felt as though I was going to fall out of the seat on the helix too! - Lisa Jania

First drop is like falling into hell... if you believe in that stuff? But anyway, this is the first ride to literally take my breath away. Awesome. - Brandon Mendoza

There is no bad thing about this ride! It certainly is my favorite coaster ever. The first drop is stupendous. the helix is incredible and the ride time is good enough.A lot of people claim that they've blacked out on this ride. i've never blaked out on this ride but i wish i did, it would be pretty kool right? i went on this wen i was 9 yrs old and i've never complained. - isaiah mercado
