Goliath 1 Great America Parkway, Gurnee, IL 60031

"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)."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
