I actually really like this ride. The drop is fun...well, the whole thing is fun. Theres this one weird turn though that made me all dizzy but other than that it was awesome. - Chloe !

I luved it. Goliath has a huge drop and is a great coaster. Although last time i went on it i got tunnel vision, its still a great ride. But it gets boring after riding it 15 times. i won't go on Goliath anymore(because as i mentioned earlier i got tunnel vision on the helix) but it is still one of my favorite rides at six flags, magic mountain. - Timothy Berg

Love this ride! One of my favorites at MM! - I.Am McLovin

love this ride everytime i go on it the first drop is amazing and its smooth awesome ride 9/10 - Michael Brunson

I love Goliath! I wish I could black out in the helix. That would be awesome! - Sarah Meeks

Absolutely amazing! 9/10 Unfortunately, (I think) I have never blacked out on the helix. Its so intense up 235 feet in the air looking over SFMM, but you'll be glad you went on it! One of the better rides at SFMM - Corey Nelson

Id say even with X2 in its own way totally awesome ride, giant drop plenty of air time on the 3rd drop and a black out helix - Nicholas Kalscheuer

this ride was second to best behind kingdaka!!!! - mark lunod

10/10 My all time favorite roller coaster. I find no flaw whatsoever in this ride. It has a huge drop, followed by another huge drop, followed by a medium drop, and ended with a helix that makes some people black out from G-Force. It's that crazy. It has a setting that you are Goliath fighting David. - Jack Borgeson

Goliath is great! It's not a crazy ride like Tatsu, but it is still fun! Le seul endroit ou tu peux pécher avec ces delicieux plats pêchés! - Rita Smith

Everyone says it has a really long line. I guess I just get lucky. I've been on this awesome ride 7 times and the wait was no longer than 5 minutes. - Sam Collier
