Ride Relocations
Did you know that Goliath wasn’t originally built for Fiesta Texas? Goliath had two homes prior to being installed at the park. From 2003 to 2005, the attraction operated at Six Flags New Orleans as Batman: The Ride. The coaster, however, was originally constructed for Thrill Valley in Japan. Known as Gambit, the attraction called Thrill Valley home from 1995 to 2002. Unfortunately, Hurricane Katrina destroyed Six Flags New Orleans in 2005. When Six Flags had no plans to reopen the park, it began to relocate several rides that were still deemed operational. Goliath was sitting, but not operating, at Six Flags New Orleans from August 2005 until March 2007 prior to being transported to Fiesta Texas.

This particular ride layout is quite common at several Six Flags parks. In the early 1990s, these B&M Inverted coasters began to pop up and were themed around Batman: The Ride. DC Comics-themed installations include Six Flags Over Texas, Great America, Magic Mountain, Great Adventure, St. Louis and Six Flags Over Georgia. The ride is so common that three of them exist in the state of Texas. What make's Fiesta's model unique? It is a "mirrored" version of the ride and does not carry the Batman: The Ride theme.
