Part 3 has just been posted on their Facebook but still seems to be private on YouTube. I'll link the YT video when it's up (If it is posted on YT, of course). Today's video has had the least amount of information in it out of all three so far, looks like they are really trying to ration it out now. https://www.facebook.com/AdventureWorldOfficialPage/

EDIT: AW posted some more behind the scenes photos on Instagram.

So Part 4 came out today of Goliath's Story. I thought I would put it all together and see if we can make any sense of it. With the opening this Saturday of the new season I think we will see this continue until then.

 

In the Darkness of Night,

A world of silence,

An answer is needed,

Celestial Guidance,

 

A legend from long ago,

Tells of an object hidden in time,

A Myth, A folktale,

A story told at bedtime.

 

Of six points in the night sky,

Marking a Colossal Beast,

Waiting and Watching,

Ready to be unleashed,

 

The key to unlock this force,

From where it is bound,

Is a Rhythm,

A noise of such magnitude,

An epic sound.

All rather boring

[Tim Dasco]

So we now have part 5. 

 

and another today tonight video airing tomorrow night regarding the theme and the first riders for Goliath which opens this Saturday!

 

[iwerks]

Yeah, good story, tonight. The ride looks great as do the gardens around it. People looked pretty happy, although I loved the anchor's reaction: 'ah,no'.

So now we know that the full ride duration is 1 minute and 40 seconds.

This Goliath Awakening thing is awful..... and trying to build suspense releasing it in tiny parts is hilarious.

They are going to play it in the line at the ride too aren't they? Just like the Kraken nonsense you hear over and over again waiting to ride.

I'm getting old and cranky.

I personally do think the theming is great and I am glad AW is working with Intamin and I am hoping they will work together agian. Anyway here is the video and I can't wait to try it this weekend. Below is the link to the TT video.

AW is a bit unlucky with the weather.. we've had pretty nice sunny warm weather for the past few weeks, then bang on their opening weekend cold and showers also continuing into next week.

[Tim Dasco]

Also in lucky for the Perth Royal Show. Every year the first week of the September holidays seems to have bad weather.

I am glad they are investing in theming, i like theming especially when its done well.

Though for some reason this lot (and the slow reveal/story) just seems tacky to me.

I was looking forward to taking the kids this weekend, this weather can f*&k right off !!

The weather is not gonna be nice for the launch. Hopefully it clears as I want to try this Beast this weekend.

I think, chances are, there are going to be a couple of good hours during Saturday. There will be a window and hopefully everyone else will be at the show or home.

Thank you so much! Welcome to posting! Did you get to experience Goliath today, if so, how was it?

[iwerks]

That theming looks excellent - that overcast weather really suits it too.

Yes I did, and it was amazing! Never Been on anything like it. It smashes thru ques and the sensation flying through the air with the lab bar not getting in your way was amazing. Going on it in the rain is a seperate experience altogether

100% agree, the theming is magnificent! The shade cloths for queuing have weird symbols on it, and the operating bit has like animal skins and stuff on it!

Fuck me - even the Ekka requires all rides to run for at least 2 minutes.

Part 9 dropped today. https://www.facebook.com/AdventureWorldOfficialPage/

Anyone going today?

[Tim Dasco]

I am leaving soon. The weather has cleared so I am going to make the most of it.

[iwerks]

Yeah, having lunch now having ridden Goliath. Also got to chat with Andrew Sharry and Ross. The ride and theming looks fantastic. The hang time was just incredible and it's a long way when you look down. The harness is excellent, giving you lots of freedom.

The park is empty and the weather has cleared. And Inferno is running - 4 shots, 1 drop.

LOOKS AMAZING!! Could do with coming down right now but think I’ll wait till Wednesday so I can experience first session at the park for the season with some mates.
