^ As soon as this thing went vertical I realized how much the towers resemble old west oil derricks. They so easily could have picked a different color scheme (since they repainted it anyway) and made it fit into Crackaxle Canyon. Oh well. It's still a good addition.

I realized the same thing, especially with the towers labeled "Goliath Towers." Yeah a different color scheme would have been better, but it still looks better here than at its previous residence.

I know we've talked about it a lot, and it seems we're still talking about it after the ride has opened, but I really would have liked to see a darker paint scheme and a western theme. Maybe brown and a dark red would have been nice.

^ I think we all would have enjoyed that more than the bright green and blue generically named "Goliath"... but we're dealing with Six Flags here. We should all just be thankful that the landscaping, ride sign, and queue house fit in with the area well.

I wonder how long it will be before this one starts getting closed frequently...

It's actually surprisingly reliable, at least it was at SFMM.

Really now? I've never gotten to ride one, but I know from the videos here that people were often making fun of Deja Vu at SFGAM, and how often it was closed. I guess it's a different story with SFMM, whose version I don't know much about.

The seasonal operation at SFNE will hopefully make Goliath more reliable than it was at SFMM. I did not find it overly reliable, as it has only been open about half the times I've visited Magic Mountain.

I would say try for July 1st. Sundays are always slow at SFNE.
