    Love this ride, I just wish it wasn't so damn short. A problem I've noticed with a few coasters at Great America. Especially when compared to their equally massive sister parks like Magic Mountain, Great Adventure or Over Texas. Even when compared to their competitors like Cedar Point. Goliath, X-Flight, Superman, Dark Knight, Joker, Demon and Whizzer are all kinda short rides to be honest. There are two coasters there that have any real length and that's American Eagle and Raging Bull. All the others are Ok to short.

    • @innocent.vibes.7262
      @innocent.vibes.7262 5 років тому

      Sw1zT1m3 Let’s be real here, some of the roller coasters that you listed are long, like X-flight or Superman. All of the rides have a past, most of the rides have a short space because of that, for example say they replaced V2 then what would go there because of its odd placement and odd shape.

    • @xkee2013
      @xkee2013 5 років тому +1

      @@innocent.vibes.7262 I'm sorry but I am being very realistic in my assessment. And I utterly and completely disagree with you. Superman for instance is indeed a short to average ride at best. Before Superman was there in its same spot sat Shockwave. Which was a much bigger, taller and longer coaster. Furthermore look at a similar ride to Superman called Tatsu at Magic Mountain. They are basically the same type of coaster from the same manufacturer. But one is far superior to the other. X-Flight is a compact-ish ride that barely goes that high and is average in overall scale. Great America is over 300 acres of park land. They have the space, they just rarely use ingenuity with that given space to accommodate for bigger, taller and longer coasters. But to be fair, it could be that they are just cheaper when it comes to spending money on their versions of big bang rides. But using V2 was a bad example. Because rides like V2 are one of the few times Great America took advantage of space and used it accordingly well with little to no taking down of other rides. I do agree that it would be hard to replace a ride like that within that space. But to be honest, Magic Mountain does this all the time and they have at least 5 more coasters than Great America. Not to mention bigger, taller and longer versions of some of the same coasters Great America has. It's really no excuse. Except for maybe V2, Maxx Force and probably Joker, Great America has just not been using their space as well as they could have been with a lot of their coasters.

      @@TrustySteeringWheelTray Totally agree with you. Especially keeping into account how big Great America is. They could intertwine some of the bigger, taller and longer coasters to compensate for space. But for some reason they don't do this. Magic Mountain does it all the time.
      Some of the new coasters I'd like to see at SFGAm is a worlds only dueling flying coaster on the level of a Tatsu. They could call it Superman Vs. Bizarro: Challenge Of Steel (This could replace Superman: Ultimate Flight).
      A spectacular worlds first only dueling RMC Raptor coaster. With one side being green and the other side being yellow. They could call it Green Lantern Corps.
      A massive one of a kind RMC T-REX coaster called Legion Of Doom.
      A worlds tallest, fastest, longest MACK Xtreme Twister coaster. It could be themed to Chicago. Call it Windy City Twister.
      A next level new age MACK Water coaster. With better water elements. Call it Aquaman.
      That's just a few of my personal ideas.

    The park was much more balanced when they had ShockWave and Raging Bull as their premiere coasters, long.. with mid-course breaks. They should have never bothered with Superman. They should have replaced ShockWave with an original B&M floorless with a Dominator-type steep twisting drop and a little variation on the Medusa layout... and called it ShockWave Reloaded or something. seven inversions and interesting banked sections to make up for the figure 8 finale we lost with Iron Wolf.
    Iron Wolf was short but extremely intense. It's too bad it got so rough. If they were going to replace it with the worlds "tallest fastest wooden blah blah blah" they shouldn't have copped out on the length just to have a record breaking coaster.
    X-Flight could have been a 140 or 150' tall coaster with a mid-course as well.
    Deja Vu was great. Sucks it's gone, even though its maintenance was terrible. And why have they not simply replaced the back tower of V2 and put that crazy ass brake back in? It is not that expensive to keep replacing the tower (because of the strain from the breaking) every few years. They should replace V2 with a launched Intamin like Maverick, but with an Xcelerator type initial launch and 280 foot initial vertical incline/drop. - TO FINALLY reach their height limit.
    Don't get me wrong, Great America is at least up there as one of the best theme parks in the country and offers some of the most variety of coasters.. but they frequently underwhelm and disappoint with these miniature versions of awesome concepts.

      @xkee2013 5 років тому

      You actually took the words right outta my mouth!!! I love Six Flags Great America as it's my home park but every single thing you stated I have to agree with. Ever since I got older and started realizing how awesome coasters in other Six Flags parks and other theme parks were, I begin to notice something. I always wondered why whensoever Great America got their coasters, it was always compact-ish in its size and build. Especially when compared to the competition. That always bothered me and still does. The only two coasters that Great America has that really deliver on size and build are American Eagle and Raging Bull. Although the latter was dropped in its initial height because of Gurnee's idiotic height restrictions. Which makes no real sense to me because Sky Trek Tower is like 330 feet. Yet Raging Bull, Great America's tallest coaster is barely 202 to 208 feet in height at best.
      When Great America first announced X-Flight and I saw the first drafts of it, I thought it would be their version of Magic Mountain's X2. But newer and more advanced. Boy was I disappointed. I like X-Flight but they could of done so much more with that coaster. I hate its compact-ish design. It should of been longer, faster and much taller imo!!
      I love Goliath but think that instead of making that coaster from scratch, they should of just gave the RMC treatment to Viper. And re-themed it as Goliath. I think we would have gotten a much better coaster as a result.
      They should NEVER try and RMC American Eagle. It is one of the the most unique rides Great America has. Besides, there are not a lot of classic wooden racing coasters anymore. As far as RMC-ing Viper is concerned, it's not unique. It's just another Georgia Cyclone clone. It's enough of them already in existence.
      In the future, I would like to see a spinning coaster in the vein of Time Traveler at Silver Dollar City at Great America themed to Chicago. They could call it Windy City Twister!! And/or a RMC T-Rex coaster themed to The Legion Of Doom!! Great America has so much potential but they seem to fail to utilize it all. If Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, Cedar Point and Adventure Land can do it, so can Great America!!

    OMG that ride is sooo fun! The drop isn't as bad as it seems. Sometimes you can't even tell if you're upside down or not because its so smooth. By the way, they don't have really anything to hold on to so putting your hands up is the best option. Also, I have a tip for when lines are really long. Go to single riders. You might not be on the same car as your family but you get on about 10x quicker. They don't care if you talk to your family either. My sister and dad were talking the whole time and they still let us on as single riders. Sorry to write a whole novel 😂😂😂

      Goliath was never the tallest wooden coaster. As Tony said, it has the tallest wooden coaster drop, but that doesn't make it the tallest. The tallest drop is the tallest drop, that's it. Lightning Rod also isn't the tallest wooden coaster either. Though Dollywood (the park it is located at) claims it "climbs 20 stories," they have not verified their claim, and they made the same claim for another one of their coasters, Wild Eagle, but never verified its actual height either. The only records held by Goliath are the steepest wooden coaster and the tallest drop on a wooden coaster.

    I was just on this a few hours ago for my first time and I must say that it is amazing. I think I still like the raging bull more but it is still amazing and very rerideable.

  • @nicholaskavanaugh4855
    @nicholaskavanaugh4855 6 років тому +3

    What is with Six Flags Great America and having all these roller coasters that are so damn short?
    SFGAm was my home park growing up, and I am so grateful I live in Los Angeles now and have Magic Mountain... their coasters are nice and lengthy especially the B&Ms (Tatsu, Riddler, Scream!). Raging Bull is the only worthwhile B&M we got. X-Flight is cool and all but pathetically short and Superman is one-trick pony.
    Superman, Batman, Goliath, X Flight... all incredibly short. Superman should have gotten better treatment. It is the most BASIC flying coaster ever. Pretty much after the first drop and that first inversion there is that one giant banking curve that gives you a little thrill and that's it. They could have easily maxed it out at 160 or 170 feet tall like Tatsu and maybe even had a mid-course break that dropped into the inverse version of a corkscrew, much like how the first inversion is the inverse of a giant loop. It could have been a lot longer. And X-Flight had space constraints but they still could have made it a little longer. Batman is the original B&M invert so that's understandable. Goliath is SO short.
    Raging Bull and Viper are the only roller coasters whose ride durations justify their wait times.

  • @coastervelocity3899
    @coastervelocity3899 4 роки тому

    To be clear, most RMC’s are built using an already-built wooden structure, so it’s not as expensive. This is a ground-up meaning they build their own supports which costs more. And we all know six flags isn’t going to spend any more money then they have to.

      Yea. The only good parts of Goliath at some are the first drop and helix. The rest is forceless and underwhelming. This is an RMC so I know it's gotta be far better and far more intense than our Goliath at SFMM. Can't wait to ride this and all the other RMC coasters.

    While looking in the comments I saw some people saying “other Six Flags have better rides” or “the rides at Six Flags Great America are to short”,if you did write one of these comments then you should realize that people spent there hard work on that ride, they spent months trying to figure out what how the layout would be ect. Also just because of short rides or to long of lines, that doesn’t mean that you have to hate it and say rude things about MEH HOME-PARK

    • @robeclave
      @robeclave 8 років тому

      Hannah, I went here earlier this year and it was my first time going since my 8th grade class trip. The only coasters I rode then were Demon and American Eagle. My girlfriend put me on Goliath as my first coaster in over 16 years. I was scared, but the restraints are super effective. There is a seat belt and restraints that lock your legs in. And since there is nothing over your shoulders, you can get a huge thrill of weightlessness all while completely safe. I never once felt insecure while on the ride and it was amazing. I urge you to go on it. That first drop is TO DIE FOR! Don't cheat yourself, ride this coaster!
