Goliath Media Day


Superman: Ultimate Flight


The bottom of the first drop, Superman soars through the sky
For those playing along at home, the "sky" is the Viper's former loading station.....(how quickly we forget)



for front and back riders alike, the disorienting sensation of diving head-first under your dangling feet



The otherwise avid screams of riders fall silent in the bottom of the inversion, the pressure too much to bear



The one-of-a-kind maneuver ends with riders again on their chest, facing the anxious queue below



If this ride was any quieter, you'd never know it was coming right at you



Deja Vu


Despite the low capacity, this ride is a crowd pleaser



Here's the towering cobra roll, frighteningly high off the ground



Smooth, fast, intense...if only it weren't so damn inefficient



Georgia Scorcher


As soon as you get off I-20, Scorcher is the center of attention
Efficiently crammed against the front gate, most riders have yet to learn it's ridden standing up.



While significantly smaller than B&M's previous 3 Stand-up coasters,
the Scorcher provides a great ride nonetheless



Batman: The Ride


One of the newer B:TR installations (1997), this Batman offers quite an intense, yet smooth-as-glass ride.



Mindbender


A classic Schwarzkopf looper, an intense dash through the woods



Good luck trying to get shots like this



I had the great fortune of a behind the scenes tour



Ninja


Quite and impressive jumble of track, no? As you can imagine, it's even more painful than it looks



Vekoma, unfortunately, must have taken a cue from Arrow Dynamics, giving us this fun and disorienting,
yet somewhat bone-harrowing ride



Great American Scream Machine


A dream ride for any out-and-back fan, it's hard to not enjoy this classic on the lake.



This one was shot back behind the picnic pavilions



The Southern Star Ampitheater needs to open during the day, to get a view like this



Here we see a train of riders getting ready to hit the brakes hard
(and I do mean hard)



Viper (defunct)


How can you not love shuttle loops? The simplicity of this ride is such a wonderful treat
(People should have these in their back yards)



There's the launch, the loop, the front spike, the backwards loop, and the back spike.
Not much to it, but perhaps that's best part
