Goliath (La Ronde)

Goliath is a steel roller coaster at La Ronde amusement park in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Six Flags announced in 2016 that Goliath would be hooked up with Virtual Reality for a New Revolution experience for the 2016 season.

[1] Speculation that La Ronde would be building a new roller coaster began in the second half of 2004.

[2] Construction for the roller coaster by Martin & Vleminckx[3] began in September 2005 with land clearing and foundation pouring.

[5] By mid-November, the storage bay was constructed with track pieces for the brake run and station being installed soon after.

[5][8] After being dispatched from the station, the train immediately begins to climb the 174.8 feet (53.3 m) lift hill.

After another 42.7 feet (13.0 m) left banked turn, the train rises back up and goes over a small bump before entering the final brake run.

[15] In Goliath's opening year, it was voted the 37th best steel roller coaster in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards.
