The investigation is ongoing, but local news outlet WSB-TV reports the park will open its doors Friday... though it's unclear whether Goliath, the ride from which the man fell, will remain closed. It seems unlikely the park would reopen it.

As we reported ... Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was killed after he fell from the Goliath roller coaster.

Hassan -- who was a member of a roller coaster enthusiasts club -- struck several other riders before hitting the ground, investigators say.
