Attraction History
In August 2005, Six Flags Over Georgia announced it was closing down its long-standing Great Gasp attraction, as well as its lesser-known Looping Starship, to make way for a future attraction. Goliath was first hinted at in a teaser flier sent to media outlets, with the official announcement made September 1, 2005.
Construction began in earnest after the removal of the two closed attractions, with the main structure completed in early 2006. After testing and media previews, Goliath debuted to the public on April 1, 2006.
