It's Behemoth!



After much anticipation, Canada's Wonderland has announced their new coaster for the 2008 season - Behemoth.


A B&M Hyper as many predicted, the ride will take passengers on a 5,318 ft. journey across the park's landscape. Starting with a 230 ft. lift hill, the ride will drop riders at 85 degrees, sending them on their way at 77 miles per hour.

The seating is different on the ride than on previous B&M 'mega coasters.' Much like the seating on the Deja Vu coasters, the two inside seats are moved forward with the outside seats set back - allowing unobstructed views for all riders.

A whopping $26 million investment, it's the largest in the park's history - not really a surprise with a price tag like that.

In traditional Cedar Fair style, the ride has a massive web page with tons of great Virtual Image Productions graphics and renderings. Check it out!
