Es tsis txhob steel wheels, lub tsheb ciav hlau siv cov tshuab polyurethane, tib cov khoom siv los ntawm steel coasters.
Rau Chij yog qhov ua rau lub ntiaj teb ua tus ceev tshaj plaws, siab tshaj plaws, thiab ntoo tshav dav hlau thaum nws pib xyoo 2014. Lightning Rod ntawm Dollywood, lwm RMC Topper coaster , uas hits 73 mph, tom qab tuav lub ceev tshaj coaster title ntawm Goliath.
Hloov ntawm ZDT qhov Kev Lom Zem Dethroned rau Cov Txheej Txheem Rau Rau (Six Flags) nyob rau hauv theem qeb kaum los ntawm xa tawm 87 degrees. Tiamsis Kaulia tseem tuav cov ntaub ntawv ua lub vaj huam sib luag tshaj plaws.
Tom qab nce 165 ko taw thiab xa tawm 180 ko taw ntawm 85 degrees (ze li ntsug) mus rau hauv ib qho av hauv qhov av, lub coaster revs mus txog 72 mph.

Tus tub ntawm Beast kuj muaj ib lub voj xwb, tab sis nws tau ua tiav nws cov kev hloov siab los ntawm kev hloov lub thawb qhov ntawm txoj kev mus rau tubular hlau. Lub Koom Haum Ntoo saum huab cua ntawm lub Great America thauj tseem nyob thoob plaws hauv nws qhov ob lub inversions.
Siab Siab Nyob Hauv (G-Force) Siab
Txawm tias Kaulia muaj lub siab ua ib lub sij hawm, nws tsis suav cov yuam sij rau ntawm lub xub ntiag. Es tsis txhob, nws txoj kev tswj tuav ruaj ntseg ntawm cov neeg caij nkoj thiab nyob hauv qab ntawm lub hauv caug. Nws yuav tsum muaj qhov siab kom qis qis 48 inches-uas tsuas yog 4 feet los yog qhov loj ntawm 9-xyoo-laus-laus-tseem ua rau nres.

Ua kom zoo li qhov zoo li lub neej nyob mus ib txhis (tab sis tsuas yog ob los yog ob qho) yog ob qho kev ua siab zoo thiab txaus ntshai, tsis hais leej twg lub xub pwg. Kev tawm suab qeeb ib ce yog ib qho zoo saib los ntawm tog.
Goliath khov kho nws ob txoj hauj lwm gracefully. Tag nrho cov caij tsheb npau taws heev nrog rau me ntsis ntawm qhov nyuaj-thiab-tumble shudder uas feem ntau cov ntoo coasters xa (xws li Great America Viper thiab nws tshwj xeeb tshaj yog khaus American Eagle). Tiam sis nws pom tau tias zoo li ntoo coaster. Puas yuav RMC coaster hnub nyoog zoo, los sis nws puas yuav ua rau tib qhov teeb meem roughness uas plague feem ntau ntoo coasters?
Nws yog ib qho nyuaj hais vim hais tias lub system khiav yog tseem tshiab, tab sis nws yuav hais tias nws yuav tuav zoo.
Nrog rau ob peb lub vauv ntawm no thiab muaj, Kaulia tsis zoo li butter-swm li lwm RMC coaster, Iron Rattler ntawm Six Flags Fiesta Texas .

Qhov ntev ntawm 3,100 taw thiab lub sijhawm caij luv 2 feeb, nws tseem luv luv kuj . Thaum nws xa ob peb zoo pops ntawm airtime , lub caij yuav siv sij hawm ntau tawm ntawm koj lub rooj zaum.
Tab sis txhua yam, koj yuav zoo siab heev rau Kaulia. Nws yog arguably qhov zoo tshaj plaws coaster ntawm Six Flags Great America . Nws yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws Goliath coaster tawm muaj. (Six Flags muaj ntau lub npe tib si thoob plaws hauv nws lub tiaj ua si nrog rau cov khoos phis Goliath hauv Six Flags Magic Mountain .) Nws zoo heev, nws ua rau daim ntawv teev npe ua ib qho ntawm qhov Top 10 Zoo Ntoo Coasters -tab txawm muaj yuav qee yam kev sib cav tias RMC's Topper track disqualifies nws raws li ib tug ntoo coaster. Xijpeem lub heck nws yog, nws yog ib tug zoo caij.
