Looks like a steel Shivering Timbers....

Although this one has the best view(even better than Nitro), it rides the worst of the B&M hypers.  There's a lot of vibration during the ride and the trim after the turnaround really slows the 2nd half of the ride.

Nitro's still #1.  :-)

Sue, are you speaking of the SFOG Goliath or the La Ronde Goliath?  (this is why they need to stop using the same names!)  I'm just curious if you somehow made it to Canada recently!

I know somebody that has ridden the La Ronde Goliath and somebody else that rode the one at SFOG and both have come back and said Nitro is better

I'm talking about LaRonde.  We were there this past weekend for the WNYCC event and got a bunch of stay-on rides during the ERT session.

We have also been on SFOG's version so we have been on every B&M hyper in the USA.  I don't think either one comes close to Nitro.  I wasn't crazy over SFOG's, but I'd take theirs over LaRonde's.  The best thing about LaRonde's is the view.

Thats amazing lol  You've been to Canada and SFOG in nearly one month lol

It is really interesting because every single report I hear now (from people that I would trust the opinion of) echos the same thing.  The toughest comparison still seems to be between Nitro and Apollo with each having their own pros and cons.

LaRonda apparently used Nitro for all of their promos.  Nitro is on the cover of their park maps and on signs throughout the park.   

Most people I know all like SFOG's the best of all of them which I don't understand at all, but to each their own.  It would be a boring world if everyone agreed on everything.
