No I agree with you. This may "technically" be a wooden coaster, but I have a hard enough time considering Intamin prefabs to be true wood, let alone whatever the hell these rides are.

Re: SF Great America | "Goliath" | RMC Woodie
I am suddenly remembering what I heard one of the RMC designers say when asked if he considers Outlaw Run wood or steel.
(paraphrased) "Call it whatever you want. I just hope you call it fun."
Sorry, I don't remember where I heard this, or what the man's name was.
Personally, I have no problem calling it a wooden coaster, but the man does have a point.

Nobody has commented on the height yet? At 165 feet it'll be a fair bit lower than Colossos (197 feet), heck both T Express (184 feet) and El Toro (181 feet) will be taller! Stupid Six Flags claiming false records!! ><
On the other hand this project looks epic! All you have to do is see past false marketing and an unimaginative name.. :--D

Don't they still call NTG a wooden coaster? I know at least when it was first opened they kept calling it "Steepest Wooden Coaster".
Regardless I guess I do have to get back to GAm now. I missed a few credits when I went there, plus they have 2 new rides since. I could probably get 5 new credits out of the park.

From the OP "Fastest Wooden Roller Coaster with Steepest and Tallest Drop on the Planet".
I believe they are referring to the drop itself.

Straight from the men who created the rides themselves, Fred Grubb and Co:
Iron Horse: Steel
Topper: Wood
Now how the parks advertise them is different.. but I've never heard of any IH referred to as wood and no one has called topper steel by anyone who is actually not an enthusiast/marketing person.

Re: SF Great America | "Goliath" | RMC Woodie
Kinda glad I didn't go to SFGAm this year, makes a trip more worth doing.
I like the layout in terms of being simple, which RMC has proven that simple isn't bad. I think it'll be a great addition to the park (Which has maybe 2-3 good rides, but nothing to write home about).
That all being said: CAN'T YOU CALL IT SOMETHING OTHER THAN **** GOLIATH?! We're up to SEVEN. AND NONE ARE THE SAME.

I knew it was going to be called Goliath when the teaser videos featured a guy whose name was David. :lol:
Hopefully this'll finally put Great America on the map. They've got a world-class arsenal of fantastic roller coasters, with two damn good woodies before this and now finally a modern wooden coaster to round out their selection fairly nicely apart from a launcher. (Which, although, we kind of already have in V2.)
