The ride is a larger, inverted version of Vekoma's popular Boomerang sit down roller coasters. {{As of|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}, five installations of this type of coaster are operating, with another one under construction. HistoryGoliath along with two other Giant Inverted Boomerang coasters were slated to open for the start of the 2001 season at three Six Flags parks, however, sudden errors and malfunctions occurred during testing and caused the openings to be delayed. The first to open was Goliath when it was known as Déjà Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain on August 25, 2001. Déjà Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain has since been removed and relocated to Six Flags New England as Goliath.[1][2] This was followed by the opening of a further two Giant Inverted Boomerangs named Déjà Vu on September 1, 2001, at Six Flags Over Georgia[3] and on October 7, 2001, at Six Flags Great America.[4] On August 16, 2011, Masslive reported that Six Flags New England was planning on building a Giant Inverted Boomerang for the park's 2012 season where the Shipwreck Falls attraction was located.[5] On August 18, 2011, the ride was approved by the Agawam Planning Board,[5] with the Los Angeles Times confirming one day later that Déjà Vu from Six Flags Magic Mountain would be relocated to Six Flags New England and would begin operation under a new name in 2012.[6] An official announcement from Six Flags representatives was made on September 1, 2011, confirming previous reports and announcing that the relocated ride's name would be Goliath.[6][7][8][9] On October 16, 2011, Déjà Vu operated for the final time.[10] At around the same time, Shipwreck Falls was removed from Six Flags New England to make way for Goliath.[11] Goliath at Six Flags New England was topped off on February 29, 2012.[12] Goliath opened to the public on May 25, 2012. Layout and designGoliath features a vertical cable lift hill that quickly lifts the train up a vertical tower. Also, this model is larger than previous Boomerang designs. From above, the track layout looks like an 'X'. TrainUnlike the other Giant Inverted Boomerangs, Goliath features a newly built train by Premier Rides (different from the originals built by Vekoma). This train has seating, exactly like that on Bolliger & Mabillard's inverted roller coasters. The new train design was chosen in an attempt to make the lines in the station less complicated to navigate and also to give the ride a higher capacity.[13][14] IncidentsOn July 11, 2016 Goliath at Six Flags New England suffered a cable snap on tower one, shutting down the ride indefinitely until replacement parts are obtained and installed.[15] References1. ^{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Roller Coaster Search Results|location=Giant Inverted Boomerangs|accessdate=20 August 2011|url=http://www.rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=8207}} 2. ^{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Déjà Vu|location=Six Flags Magic Mountain|rcdb_number=748|accessdate=20 August 2011}} 3. ^{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Déjà Vu|location=Six Flags Over Georgia|rcdb_number=1040|accessdate=20 August 2011}} 4. ^{{Cite RCDB|coaster_name=Déjà Vu|location=Six Flags Great America|rcdb_number=746|accessdate=20 August 2011}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|last=Constantine|first=Sandra|title=Six Flags New England working to add new roller coaster ride to its Agawam amusement park|url=http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/08/six_flags_working_to_add_a_new.html|work=News Article|publisher=MassLive.com|date=August 16, 2011}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|last=MacDonald|first=Brady|title=Six Flags Magic Mountain to remove Deja Vu coaster|url=http://www.latimes.com/travel/deals/themeparks/la-trb-deja-vu-six-flags-new-england-08201119,0,2637256.story?track=rss&dlvrit=70653|accessdate=20 August 2011|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=19 August 2011}} 7. ^{{cite web|last=Hagist|first=Jenna|title=Six Flags Adds New Coaster|url=http://www.wggb.com/story/15294563/six-flags-adds-new-coaster|work=News Article|publisher=Wggb.com|date=August 18, 2011}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Six Flags New England Announces Goliath – A Coaster Of Epic Proportions For The 2012 Season|url=http://www.sixflags.com/newEngland/info/news_Goliath.aspx|publisher=Six Flags|accessdate=September 4, 2011|author=Six Flags New England|date=September 1, 2011}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Hey Déjà Vu fans!...|url=http://www.facebook.com/SixFlagsMagicMountain/posts/10150359136147125|author=Six Flags Great America|publisher=Facebook|date=September 2, 2011|accessdate=September 4, 2011}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Déjà Vu fans...|url=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150372377677125&set=a.111563082124.115580.67502107124&type|author=Six Flags Magic Mountain|publisher=Facebook|date=September 13, 2011|accessdate=September 13, 2011}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Last Chance to ride...|url=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150286256343740&set=a.286356748739.146143.52129033739&type=1&theater|author=Six Flags New England|publisher=Facebook|date=September 3, 2011|accessdate=September 4, 2011}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Topping off Goliath...|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150602108523740&set=a.10150408902108740.363143.52129033739&type|author=Six Flags New England|publisher=Facebook|date=February 29, 2012|accessdate=March 4, 2012}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=...new train for Goliath?|url=http://www.facebook.com/sixflagsne/posts/10150321741893740|author=Six Flags New England|publisher=Facebook|date=October 2, 2011|accessdate=December 7, 2011}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=...Goliath created Premier Rides|url=http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150423087688740&set=a.10150408902108740.363143.52129033739&type|author=Six Flags New England|publisher=Facebook|date=December 7, 2011|accessdate=December 7, 2011}} 15. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/07/malfunction_at_six_flags_new_e.html#comments|title=Roller coaster cable malfunction prompts Six Flags New England to close ride indefinitely|access-date=2016-07-12}} 1 : 2012 establishments in Massachusetts |
