I think it comes more down to they design it to be faster so it doesn't valley. Something big coasters in high wind areas like Cedar Point do often. They can then add trims to slow it down to optimal speed. You don't want a coaster to not make the end of the course so they make it faster just to give them that safety net and Rivals did have trims slots installed from day 1.

I think people forget how big this coaster is. So from a distance the cars will look slow but that's because the elements are so big.

Prices are up. Pretty good value for the whole season. Mans fast passes are up and will include Goliath (limited to 2 goes as with Abyss, Kraken and GP) same price as last season $35.

I think we maybe seeing something either a real roof or a roof material like rampages queue.

@ABYSS I can promise you that there will be a shade or roof put above the queue line. They would get an insane amount of complaints if there was no shade. Same reason why air con is now in the Abyss queue line.

@XxMrYoshixX they are giant discoverys not Gyro swings.

@AlexB just saying I was just adding to @themagician's list I never said anything about Rivals giving MW a reason not to provide upkeep on the rides.

Also AW responded to someone's question about Season passes on Facebook saying they go on sale tomorrow.

^ you also forgot while building a 30+ million dollar ride.

So AW posted this saying Goliath is warming up!

@ABYSS that looks like REO. Probs for the footpaths to go around the ride.

That's exactly what has happened. However I counted the seats and it definatly has 32 seats.

You mean like this one on the Go karts track? Photo credit to @iwerks (Perth theme parks)

@grrofunger season passes go on sale early September.

It's the a new version on the Claw but with 40 seats not 32. Giving it a better capacity and it's slightly taller. But the lap bars will be this rides main point of difference over the claw and will sure be something Awesome to try.

Can we all just except that MDMC is a good family ride. Lots of family's go on it. It's just not a thrilling coaster and shouldn't be marked as one.

Went passed AW today. The ride looks smaller than I imaged but it still looks like a great addition to AW. Excuse the IPhone quality. This was the only photo I got as I didn't have time to stop.

@Gazza that was my first thought when I knew Goliath was gonna have lap bars.

I am surprised they have decided to do the announcements this week as they are doing all their hiring this week for the 2017/18 season.

At least it's not a long name. "Caught DC Rivals Hypercoaster"

@Slick you win. You guessed that the park should get an Intamin Gyro swing. Congratulations you win nothing. 😂

For anyone not in WA who wants to watch it. https://thewest.com.au/news/wa/latest-adventure-world-ride-gets-goliath-name-after-mounting-speculation-ng-b88578858z

Now all we need is Andrew Sherry to join and talk like Mark. Hi Andrew please sign up. (If your here)

Remember with a coaster both the up stop and down stop wheels are not on the track at the same time. During air time moments the car is off the tracks by a few mill and the up stop wheels are touching the track. If the wheels had a death grip on the track you would go slow and not have much freedom for airtime. So when your going flat the car is resting on the main wheels and the up stop wheels are just below the track by a few mills.

I am just thrilled to finally have an Intamin ride in Perth.
