Six Flags Great America announced today that the world’s fastest wooden roller coaster with the tallest and steepest drop, known as Goliath, was “topped off” earlier today as the last section of the 165-foot-high structure was bolted in place. The high-thrill coaster is in its final stages of construction and will be ready to debut to guests within the next few weeks. The mammoth structure required 300,000 board feet of lumber, 70,000 bolts, and over 40,000 man-hours to build. A video of the topping off can be found at http://youtu.be/6CaTIuNYJBw .
Goliath destrói todas as categorias de montanhas-russas de madeira ao quebrar três recordes mundiais e também se torna a primeira montanha-russa de madeira do planeta a impulsionar os passageiros de cabeça para baixo em duas manobras separadas. Um feito de engenharia, esta montanha-russa é imperdível para os curiosos e obrigatória para os corajosos.
