Goliath reopens, Batman: The Ride closes

Six Flags Magic Mountain announced via Twitter yesterday that the Goliath roller coaster has finally reopened after the completion of a much needed paint job begun in November 2009. The roller coaster was originally supposed to reopen November 25, but ended up nearly missing the rescheduled December 19 opening due to delays.

Now Batman: The Ride has closed for a a repainting of its own. The roller coaster is changing shades from the grey it once was to a beep blue tint. Take a look below at a photo of the painting-in-progress. [Screamscape]
