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.
Before Formula Rossa swooped in and claimed the Fastest Roller coaster title, Kingda Ka was, as its name would imply, the king of both speed and height. However, while it may no longer be the fastest, Kingda Ka is most certainly the tallest. Thanks to its massive 456-foot âTop Hatâ tower â a hill in the track with a 90-degree ascent and descent â you can see the roller coaster miles away from its location at Six Flags Grand Adventure park.
