While Six Flags is hyping the new coaster coming to Six Flags Fiesta Texas, it’s not exactly new. A clone of the Batman: The Ride inverted coasters that first debuted at Six Flags Great America near Chicago, the thrill machine first appeared in 1995 at a Japanese amusement park. In 2003, Six Flags bought the coaster and moved it to Six Flags New Orleans where it was known as Batman: The Ride. Since Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc there in 2005, the Louisiana park has been closed, and the ride has been dormant. For 2008, the chain is moving the 12-year-old coaster to Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It will get a fresh coat of paint and a new name, but it will essentially be the same inverted coaster found at a lot of Six Flags parks. Despite its grandiose name, the ride now known as Goliath will be relatively puny compared to other Six Flags coasters that share the name.
Goliath Stats* Type: Inverted coaster
* Height: 105 feet
* First drop: 80 feet
* Top speed: 50 mph
* Track length: 2693 feet
If I am not mistaken, a few miles from Six Flags Fiesta Texas, over at Sea World Texas they have the identical coaster under the name of The Great White. It is a shame that they decided to save money by importing a coaster instead of being creative and doing a new ride of some sort.

The Great White is a mirror… but otherwise identical coaster of batman. Six Flags figures they could hype Goliath… even thought many locals have probably been on great white at least once.
