Goliath
Goliath is the big blue mega coaster in Speed Zone. The ride opened in 2002 and, at 1,214 metres, is the longest roller coaster in the Benelux. You reach a top speed of 106 kilometres per hour.
The concept
Goliath was designed by Büro Stengel and built by Intamin. It is a classic mega coaster: no loops, but high hills, sharp turns and plenty of speed. In 2016 the steel track got its bright blue colour to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary.
The Experience
After the 46.8-metre lift hill, you plunge into the depths. This is followed by two airtime hills and the Stengel Dive: a steep banked turn of 121 degrees, named after designer Werner Stengel. So you go just short of upside down. The ride also includes a horizontal loop. In around a minute and a half you experience seven moments of airtime.
Discover Goliath
Sit at the back
According to the park itself, the back row is the best: that's where you get lifted out of your seat the hardest over the hills.
Use the single rider queue
Don't mind sitting next to a stranger? Then use the single rider queue. You'll often get your turn sooner than in the regular queue.
Consider Fast Lane
Want a shorter wait? With Fast Lane you reserve a slot digitally and enter via the Fast Lane entrance. You can buy it in the ticket shop or in the Walibi app; park admission is not included.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.40 metres tall. The ride is not suitable for pregnant women. With baby switch, parents don't have to queue twice: one parent rides while the other waits with the child at the exit, then boards via the exit afterwards. At Goliath you can also buy a photo of your ride (Photo Service). Visitors using the accessibility scheme enter via the Fast Lane entrance.
A classic
According to the park, Goliath is a must-do during your visit. Combine the ride with Space Shot and G-Force, which are also in Speed Zone. From the terrace of Flavors by YOY you get a lovely view of Goliath's blue track.
