Goliath (Six Flags Canada)

Goliath is a steel roller coaster in the Screampunk District of Six Flags Canada

Ride experience
, Leviathan is Bolliger & Mabillard's second tallest roller coaster and the company's first giga coaster – a class of roller coasters with a height or drop that exceeds 300 ft. One cycle of the ride lasts about 3 minutes and 28 seconds.

Layout
After leaving the station, the train turns 180 degrees to the right, then begins to climb the chain lift hill. Once at the top of the 306 ft lift, it drops to the ground at an 80-degree angle, reaching 92 mph. Following the first drop, the train goes through a 100 ft tunnel, then curves upwards into a 164 ft overbanked banked turn to the right before dropping again and turning at high speed turn to the left at approximately 76 mph. The exit of the first high speed turn leads directly into a 183 ft camelback, followed by a 147 ft, 115-degree hammerhead turn. Both of these elements are located above the guest parking lot and in front of the park's main entrance. After leaving the hammerhead turn, the train enters a second high-speed curve at approximately 60 mph. The train then traverses a smaller, 124 ft camelback, leading to a third high-speed turn which bends to the left and leads into the brake run and into the station.

Trains


Goliath operates with three open-air steel and fibreglass trains coloured red, blue and yellow, respectively. The face of Goliath, a theme element, covers the front of the trains. Each train has eight cars with four seats per car, which are styled after Bolliger & Mabillard's traditional hyper coaster cars, as opposed to the staggered seating used on Behemoth. Each train seats 32 riders, who are restrained using lapbars.

Track
The steel track of Leviathan is 5486 ft long, the lift is about 306 ft in height and the angle of the first descent is approximately 80 degrees. The track is orange and its supports are blue. Unlike the two Intamin giga coasters (Millennium Force at Cedar Point and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion ), Leviathan only uses a single standard chain for the lift hill.

Station and plaza
Leviathan's station has an elevator near the exit, wooden guard rails with slanted railings and two queues, one of which is the Fast Lane queue for pass holders. In front of the station is a rock fountain with a sculpture of a Leviathan on top. To the right of the sculpture, there is an arcade building that was renovated during the construction of the roller coaster. Unlike most of the park's attractions, Leviathan has its own gift shop.
