In reply to Dillon. Regrettably, I can't say that I've even been to SFOG let alone been on Goliath. The ride looks a lot of fun, though. Seems like it has some nice pops of airtime from what I saw in a YT video. I've also heard that SFOG is a pretty nice park overall; it's certainly a park I need visit at some point!

Nice pick! I’ve always wanted to try a coaster at freezing temps!

Have you tried Goliath at SFOG? I feel like its an exceptional to the rule of B&M hypers lacking high G’s. The helix at the far end of the track pulls some serious G’s.

In reply to MJ. 93mph in some drizzle, now that sounds part awesome and part sting-a-rific. Out of sheer, morbid curiosity, I'd love to do a rain ride on something like Kingda Ka, but I think they close that sucker in anything above a light mist. lol

ive taken many cold rides during the october over the years..this Nitro ride sounds like a similar experience once with my last ride of the season on Millennium Force a few years ago..low 40s with a slight drizzle…good, cold ass, times.
