==History==
Speculation that La Ronde would be building a new roller coaster began in the second half of 2004. Rumors that the roller coaster would be manufacutred by Bolliger & Mabillard emerged in September 2005. Construction for the roller coaster by Martin & Vleminckx〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.martin-vleminckx.com/mva_web_3_018.htm )〕 began in September 2005 with land clearing and foundation pouring. The $18.7 million Goliath was announced on October 26, 2005.〔 By mid-November, the storage bay was constructed with track pieces for the brake run and station being installed soon after. Construction on the lift hill continued throughout December and was topped off (the highest piece the lift hill) on December 21. The first drop was completed by mid-January 2006 followed by the first camelback hill which was completed by the end of February. After the second and third camelback hills were installed, the turnaround was completed in mid-March.〔 The three camelback hills and banked turns leading back to the station were installed by the end of March marking the completion of installing track. The cars for the trains were also delivered in late March. After the cars were put on the track in April, testing began. Once testing was complete, Goliath opened to the public on May 13, 2006.〔
When ''Goliath'' opened, it was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Canada. Two years later, when Behemoth opened at Canada's Wonderland, Goliath lost both records.〔
