Trivia

 * Goliath was initially planned to have a vertical loop in it's layout, just like Son of Beast, but due to maintenance and financial concerns it was later canceled.
 * Goliath's Intamin trains were actually reused from Bandit at Movie Park Germany, after Six Flags bought them and kept them in storage at some of their parks from 2001 to 2006.
 * They were initially planned to replace the PTC trains on Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, but for unknown reasons this plan fell through, and they remained in storage at the park near the coaster until 2003, when they were relocated to Six Flags Over Memphis (now Memphisworld) and planned to replace the PTC trains on Memphis Thunderbolt. Again, this idea fell through, and they remained in storage near the coaster until 2006 when Six Flags sold the park to Carwardine)
