James Fay / Kelly Fay and family at Magic Mountain.
Susan Fay, Lisa Fay and Bart Fay with their guests accompanied
Kelly Fay and myself, James Fay to Magic Mountain for a day of fun in the sun.
It was the perfect day. Kelly never screamed so loud (not even during child
birth). The kids (Susan, Lisa and Bart) all had a great time at Magic Mountain.
These pictures might take a while to load. Please be patient.

Riding Goliath roller coaster at Magic Mountain

Kelly Fay & Kelley Fay on Goliath
Goliath, the coaster GIANT at Magic Mountain, takes riders on a 3-minute adventure
beginning with a near vertical 61° first drop into a 120 foot-long underground
tunnel shrouded in total darkness. You then emerge at 85 mph climbing 100 feet
above the mighty Colossus before heading into a series of intense high-speed
banked turns, camelback hills, huge spiral curves and "zero gravity"
drops. Looming 255 feet in the air the blazing orange track of Goliath sits high above the
Six Flags Magic Mountain skyline. This was a great day for me and my
family. Magic Mountain is a definite rush, Goliath was awesome, in fact we rode
it six times. If you live in California you really
need to plan a day in your vacation plans for
Magic
Mountain. Here is a link for information on
Magic Mountain Directions.
Goliath features one of the world's tallest drops on a
full-circuit steel roller coaster.
