Do you feel the drop on Goliath?

45 degrees to be exact! Once at the coaster's 165ft apex, the train dangles for a moment before plunging down a 180ft drop at a jaw-dropping, 85°. It pretty much feels (and looks) like a vertical drop, and riders in the back row will be treated to an ejector moment as they get whipped over the top.
