After much anticipation from thrill seekers and coaster enthusiasts, Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois has finally unveiled its newest roller coaster: Goliath. The wooden coaster officially opened its terrifying tracks to the public Thursday morning, breaking three world records in the process. Goliath is now the tallest, fastest and steepest wooden roller coaster in the world. Daring riders will reach speeds of 72 mph, after plunging from a height of 180 feet down a nearly vertical 85 degree drop.
Not to be outdone in the coaster wars, Six Flags roared back a couple of years after Dragster debuted with its own chart topper. Kingda Ka was the king of the coaster jungle as the world's tallest and fastest coaster (at 128 mph) until a faster ride in the UAE knocked it off its throne.
