my FAVORITE coaster here and SO worth the wait. yes it is a wooden coaster that has twists, goes upside down, has a high and steep drop. its also smooth and fast. won't leave the park unless i get on this ride at least once. great view of the park and perfect sunset view when you're on your way up to the top. highly recommend and again it is worth the wait, just bring water and snacks while you wait, it'll help

Extended wait due to lighting in area, but we waited and thoroughly enjoyed the ride whe. We finally got on. This ride ALWAYS has such a big line, its hard to get on it without at least 3 hours gone...

This ride is badass. Despite the short length, this ride packs a punch. The first drop is excellent, and the remainder of the ride is aggressive and fun.

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.

Epic drop, and tons of twists and turns. Definitely worth it. Don’t be a weenie hut junior and skip out. Would recommend.

Only have ridden this ride twice, but both times were super worth it. The Zero G inversion is my absolute favorite part of the ride. If you get a chance, would highly recommend riding. Bit of advice: exhale just as you are going down the first drop. It helps with stomach problems.

I lost my Sox hat at the bottom of the big drop. If you look carefully on the way off the ride you can still see it. I miss my hat.

overall the ride was super fun and the steepness of the car going up and then down is insane but i love that about the roller coaster. the only thing was that i was sitting with my friend on that ride and once the ride was over, he looked down and his buckle wasn’t buckled. Either it came undone during the ride or the people in-charge of the didn’t check it properly. I also think that that ride should have better protection considering the fact that you do loops (on a wooden roller coaster) and you are going very very fast when you only have the thing that goes across your lap to secure you. Overall i love this ride and i’m definitely going on again when i go in May.

Hands up🤣 the best ride in the park! Don't be intimidated by this wooden giant, the ride is smooth and definitely focuses more on airtime than laterals or heavy positives. If the single rider line is open I would suggest taking it as it has saved me countless hours at this point. Please RMC eagle!

Fun, it is very smooth. The only complaint is that it picks you up and throws you around. I'm not talking about airtime, though it does execute that effectively. It just throws you around in your seat which gets uncomfortable. The inversions are fun, and they are very tight, that gets rid of some of the smoothness that the ride can have. Also, this could just be me, but in the line I saw the track dip a little bit on a drop where it wasn't supported as well as the other parts. Fun ride, but it isn't nearly as good as some rides like American Eagle, or X Flight. (I highly suggest those.

Always a great time, but I have a Flash Pass and a Dimond Elite VIP Membership so I'm on quickly.

Not my favorite ride. The queue was very slow and had nothing to make you fell like you are making progress through the line,in part due to improper implementation of flash passes. Too many accepted, thus the ordinary line wasn't was moving at a good rate. Smooth for a wooden coaster, but seats are very uncomfortable for men. Very tight on laps due to safety restraints.

It's an amazing ride and the line was very short on the day I visited. Just not my favorite in the park.

vary shot but a good ride with a few airtime moments but there good and is a fun ride my favorite at the park

First time on Goliath, and it's fantastic. Combined much of what is great about wooden coasters with more thrilling metal coasters. Probably my new favorite ride at this Six Flags.

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.

Goliath is the fifth shortest Rocky Mountain Construction coaster, but it's got a whopping 180ft drop and hits a top speed of 72mph with a zero G 'stall' and a gnarly dive drop. This replaced the stand-up coaster Iron Wolf. Lines frequently stretch into the 45-60min range, and they really staple you into the restraints (for good reason). Protip: the back row is way wilder than the front row and has a MUCH shorter wait. Goliath is intense and very thrilling, but it's over far too soon to be considered the best coaster at Great America (and nowhere near the best RMC out there).

I love Goliath I think it’s super fun. Most people starting out roller coasters may be intimidated my the look of the drop but in all reality it’s not scary at all and rather fun. The most I’ve ever waited is 30 minutes. Perhaps I was lucky or went at a good time just to keep in mind. But overall 100% recommend.

One of the best coasters there, probably because it's a RMC Rocky Mountain Construction coaster. Not the best RMC coaster because it's fairly short, but it's still very fun.

This is the second RMC I've been on, and I have to say, this little guy doesn't get enough credit. The only other one I've done is Steel Vengence, and even with that to compare this to, it holds its own. It's an AMAZING ride and definitely top three in the park. Even with the long waits and low capacity, you have to check it out. Yes, their other coasters are much longer, but this ride packs a punch with the short amount of time its given. It'll throw you out of your seat on that first drop, and it's an incredible feeling. So much airtime on this, both ejector and floater. One of the best drops I've experienced on any coaster. Each element is so forceful and intense, it feels like this ride is trying to kill you and I absolutely love when rides do that. You can feel that stall in your stomach. At some points you don't even know which way you're facing. And for being just a wooden coaster, not a hybrid like the other rmcs? Fantastic. I'd ride this all day long if I could.
