Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland 2008

It was actually what I initially thought it was meant for, however, things on roller coaster can sometimes be for more of a complex use than you would think by first look.

Well the lift goes directly over the Italian Job, so the chain probably serves purposes.

1. To stop wallets, cellphones etc from falling onto Italian Job and,
This picture shows exactly how Behemoth humiliates the Italian Job;


2. To prevent anyone from falling while working on the lift or being evacuated.

Update.

Some more views from the lift;

:O

OMG this looks freakin amazing. But it's too bad about the drop not being even close to 85*. And it's sad that they'd lie about it!

Looks awesome!

^Did you ever think that maybe it was 85* at one point, then the new train design complicated that? That's my guess anyway.

I was up at the park a couple days ago, and got a bunch of pics. All I have to say is that it totally dominates everything, everywhere in the area[:D][:D]

So here's the update...First, a bunch of pics showing the size of this thing.










The MCBR is finished, and they're into the beginning of the helix.






So yeah, they're progressing pretty fast! I think at this rate they may be done track construction by early February![^]

Great pictures, thanks for posting them here!

Other than all those trims it is looking awesome. I can't wait to see this test.

:edit: Wonderland has also uploaded some "new" pictures to their website as well - http://tinyurl.com/3cc3w5

WOW!!! I really want to ride this thing! Unfortunately I live in Illinois (nowhere close to Canada)... [:(]

Illinois is pretty close to Canada. Cross the Great Lakes and you're there! Don't know about you, but I'd cross a lake to get to ride this thing. Does anyone know how close Canada's Wonderland is to Niagra Falls?

No more than one and a half hours.

well, i dont own an amphibious car [:(] and i cant drive for another year, and my parents arent willing to drive 10 hours to go to canada just so i can ride behemoth. even when i can drive, i couldnt go ALONE that far away. so i dont see myself at canada's wonderland ANYTIME SOON [approve]

I do [:D]

Behemoth does look insane. Now there are a lot more supports up for the helix area, I think they're just putting all the supports and then adding the track afterwards for this section.

Denis has sent me some great pictures of the completed Behemoth!

Check out these pictures -

The question everyone has been waiting for the answer to: the Drop Angle...initially in the planning stages of Behemoth, the first drop was to be 85 degrees. At some point this was changed to 75 degrees and due to the sheer number of agencies and persons involved in the project the data did not get corrected before the Behemoth website was launched. The delay in changing the data was due to needing confirmation from the appropriate parties. It is not expected that the change in drop angle will affect the public's perception of the ride.

There will be a test seat available at the ride entrance as well as an employee to assist guests in properly using the device

Spotlighting will be used to light up the ride structure at night. In addition, the lift hill will be illuminated by a set of chaser LED lights

The supports of the ride are not and will not be filled with sand

The queue area will be covered by 4 large sails designed to shade guests from the hot afternoon sun. A mist-fan system has been proposed and is likely to be added. Vending machines will be conveniently located in the centre of the queue

The new midway will be finished with interlocking paving stones, similar to those used throughout the park and the queue area is a concrete slab

The entrance to Behemoth will be highlighted by 8 individual letters spelling Behemoth, each 8 ft high, and suspended 15 ft in the air, located in a semi-circle near the queue line

A CF park using paving stones? [:O]

I won't believe it until I see it.

He's obviously never heard of us.
