I'm in the processs of organizing my photos, and will post a full trip report later.

As for Goliath, it's going to be a few weeks until it's ready to open.

Those trains look awesome! Love the colours, but I'm not sure if it would look too good on the blue track.

Edit: Changed my mind. I think they will go well with the track.

I found these on sfftnet.com, but I think they are Jakizle's.

Does the drop really get that close to the path? If so, that would make great photo opportunities.

At first I wasn't sure about the colors, but seeing them now they don't look that bad. Did they use the old trains from Batman or did they get new ones?

I believe that the chasis are the same, but the padding and restraints are new.

The drop does go right next to the path, and you can actually stand directly under the track!

Alrighty, sorry for the delay guys, but here is more of a full update from this Sunday. The park officially opens this weekend but was open for a season pass preview day. However, Goliath will not open until mid to late April, but trust me when I say that the wait will be worth it.

To view something like 60 photos in addition to the ones below, please visit the full gallery at: http://www.coastercrazy.com/coaster_pic ... rentpage=1
