Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland 2008

Nitro Anybody? Nitro vs Behemoth. I like both names. Both coasters are great!

Nitro looks better to me.

Any trains on site yet?

Dayummmm. I can't wait to ride this. It sounds pretty loud too. [:D]

I've never loved the sound of a roller coaster more than that ride there.

wooooooo!!!! and the mcbr seems nice, doesnt really slow the train down, and the airtime seems very nice, much nicer than i would've thought.

Its silent when there's airtime and it roars when there's positive G's. sexy.

im almost more excited for this than texpress :X

The final two airtime hills look nuts for a B&M hyper.

Looks great, it's going a lot faster than I would have thought.

Hellz yes! That is a lot faster than I thought, and that's on a cold, winter day...Can't wait till summer, it's gonna give some awesome air.

I want to go to Canada!

Yeah, don't expect too much more speed than that after it warms up... at least not after the overbanked turnaround. Did nobody else notice a trim brake on EVERY ONE of the hills between the two turnarounds?

That's what killed Silver Star for me. Sucks that this one is equipped with them even before it opens.

I noticed those trims 3 months ago. [:D]

I am fairly certain that Silver Star had them since it was built too. Every B&M hyper has trims, now I just hope that these ones aren't used heavily.

Yeah, I noticed those in August, aha. Dude, if they turn the trims on, they won't slow it down more than it's going in the test vids (which would still be awesome anyway). And that's if they do decide to use them.

I absolutely agree. Love it.

Do you have some sort of inside information on this, or are you just pulling statements like that out of your butt?

How do you know it won't be trimmed slower than it's going in the test vid?
How do you know if they are even considering not using them?

Yea, they speed over those things

The ride travels alot faster than I expected it to. That's a good thing though =)

I just noticed how the lift chain return actually goes through the support. Have not seen that before. Looks great overall though. Another B&M masterpiece.

I did not follow much this construction but that train looks really particular....reminds me a sort of "sit down" Deja vu!
And you have nothing around you...you fly through the air....it's great!
For a not too original layout this is a great touch!

Youtube was out yesterday so Today I finally got a chance to watch them..

And that drop is amazing, so is the sound, I do think the airtime would disappoint but still, with those trains as Barone mentioned, maybe the ride experience is now a lot better, we'll see..

i could go on...

Anyway
It looks crazily under supported to me! And WOW what a roar! Incredible! At least with the new train design they can get away with one catwalk on the lift, that'll make for great views.

Does sound great. The first turnaround looks one of the best parts in my opinion - that is taken a hell of a lot faster than i thought it would be too.
