Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland 2008

Wow, Canadas tallest coaster? Man, Goliath at SFMM is taller than that.

^ Everyone say hello to the newest of the n00b collection at WWS.

Hello.

Drove past the park on Sunday, this is what the parks new skyline looks like.

Wow, that drop is going to be amazing in every seat, I love how it doesn't stop getting steeper until right when the pullout starts, seems kind of rare for a ride this tall.

O_O!!

THEY DIDN'T LIE <3

That drop is going to be sweet.[approve]

You think thats 85 degrees? lol. Think again.

I measured it, 76.5. Laaaaaaaame. Liarrz.

There arent any perpindicular angle shots to measure with.

I used the Gimp's angle measurer.

omg

We haven't got a good side profile yet, so let's just wait and see. However, I have my doubts. I don't understand why CW would lie about the drop angle...it just doesn't make sense to me.

I'll still be extremely happy with 77 degrees, which is nowhere NEAR Laaaaaaaame. That's only 10 degrees less than Oblivion's drop. And regardless, I'm still happy we're getting a new, good, ride!

...but the 85 degree drop have just been the thing that would put Behemoth over the top..

I think this gives a pretty decent perspective on how large of a ride it is, compared to the rest of the rides at Wonderland.

Damn, that picture above is making me pretty excited. [:I]

<3

I was there today, went right up to it, within 20 ft. of it! Yeah, you can walk right up to the construction zone and they won't care. There's been more progress, the second hill is pulling out and there are a bunch of supports being put up around the turnaround area....And yeah, it's HUGE in person!

Did you take any pictures?

Yeah, a lot actually. Here, I'll link them...

We had to go through all those houses around Wonderland, around a pond, over a bridge and across a field, but we made it...[:)]

When we got through all those houses and out onto the field that leads to where I took the pics, Behemoth is just sticking out, dominating EVERYTHING. It looks insaane!

Here's some track and supports, the turnaround area has got supports! There is also some track for the last sections of the second hill waiting to be put up.

This pic of the second hill shows the supports for the next hill that's gonna be parallel to it, they're progressing so fast!!

One pic of station construction, I was too far away to notice any details of anything new that happened.

And, one pic of the steepest part of the drop. So now everybody who still thinks the drop is 85 can be pwned and see it's not 85 at all! Muah!

Now it looks tall! Does anyone know why B&M Hypers have that fencing material on big drops?

^ I think it's so if somebody drops something, it doesn't fall and hit something or somebody.

That didnt actually cross your mind before you asked it?

Ask around - the way you sit back so much and the openness of the seats REALLY lends itself to people losing things from their pockets. I was with a certain coaster site member on a B&M Hyper and he lost his keys to the water beneath. Not even the netting catches everything.
