However, Titan has an extra helix prior to the mid-course brake run and thus has a longer track length. The ride opened on February 11, A small error was made while the ride's parts were being manufactured by Giovanola. The very last track piece before the final brake run was about 6 inches mm too short.

After construction on the track and testing was complete, the roller coaster opened to the public on April 1, After being dispatched from the station, the train makes a left hand turn towards the ft chain lift hill. Once at the top, the train drops back down feet reaching a maximum speed of 70 mph. Following the drop, the train goes over the first of its camelback hills over the road, where the train experiences the ride's tallest drop at feet.
As the train exits the park boundaries, it enters a banked left turn then its second camelback hill with a ft drop. Next, the train rises back up and enters a degree downward helix before passing through a set of trim brakes and going over the third camelback hill, this time with a ft drop. The train then enters a horseshoe leading back into the park, followed by the final three camelback hills with three drop heights of ft, ft, and ft, each lower than the previous one.
Following a banked left turn, the train makes a quick drop before entering the final brake run leading back to the station. One cycle of the ride lasts about three and a half minutes. The steel track of Goliath is approximately 4, feet 1, m long and covers an area of about 8. The height of the lift is feet 61 m.
