Curtis Clark catches a bolt mid-air while working up on the high bank end of the new Goliath roller coaster at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee. Construction workers from Rocky Mountain Construction have been working 5-6 days a week since November to build Goliath, taking only 2 days off this winter due to extreme temperatures. When completed, Goliath will be the world's fastest wooden roller coaster with the tallest and steepest drop. — Stacey Wescott, Chicago Tribune, April 30, 2014
