Goliath Construction at Six Flags Great America

Construction crews are working through harsh winter conditions to build Six Flags Great America’s mammoth new-for-2014 Goliath wooden coaster. The Rocky Mountain Construction coaster will feature the world’s tallest and steepest drop on a wooden coaster, sending riders down a 180-foot drop at speeds of 72 mph.
