Goliath

Goliath is a steel roller coaster located at the Walibi Holland theme park in BiddinghuizenDronten in the Netherlands. It is described as "the fastest, highest and longest coaster in the Benelux". It was mainland Europe's second Intamin "Mini Hyper Rollercoaster", so named as the ride is styled on the larger (generally over 200 feet (61 m)) ride, but with a lower maximum height of 153 feet (47 m). The train travels at speeds of up to 66 miles per hour (106 km/h) along 3,982 feet (1,214 m) of track.After climbing out of the station, the train is released from the catch car at the top of the lift hill and accelerates down the 152-foot (46 m) first drop and runs over a large hill. After dropping for the second time, it ascends a hill called a Stengel Dive, the top being overbanked to around 100° to the right, before dropping down into a 270° downward helix. After medium-sized curved hill, it negotiates a 380° upwards helix and a bend to take the track parallel to the lift hill. Before entering the brake run, riders experience considerable air-time on three bunny hops.
