X was closed when I went, and this was by far and wide the best coaster in the park. The drop is incredible, the floater air on the 3rd hill is a blast, and the helix-laden second half of the ride simply rocks! I have been on all the B&M hypers and most of the east-coast hypers including Millenium Force and both S:ROS designs. That said I put Goliath only behind S:ROS at SFNE, which is the perfect coaster. Golaith is glass-smooth, blazing fast, and loaded with power! Some people arent into Golaith because it is not an airtime machine...and they would be right. On the other hand it is simply one of the most exciting and intense rides on the planet, and that combined with its uniqueness makes it an exceptional ride.
