Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland 2008

EDIT: just seen this vid, it seems a little slow on the high parts and in the helici, anyone agree or is it just me?

The videos aren't a good way to judge how the speed will feel at various stages of the ride. Plenty of POVs make coasters look much slower than they really feel when you ride them.

I think it will start off a bit slow, just not as exaggerated as in the video.

I was just looking at capacities, and despite the new seating arrangements, Behemoth will be a real people mover. It has a higher capacity than TTD (1500) and is almost on par with MF (1600), which moves lines at a fairly reasonable speed.

So even though we are going to have HUGE crowds, we won't be waiting forever to ride!

The ride layout doesn't look as exciting as Goliath SFOG, in fact, it's barely an improvement on Goliath La Ronde.

And besides what is with the sudden rush of B&M Megas in recent years? :/

The ride does look awesome, but i dont like the idea of those seats! Whats wrong with the normal B&M hyper cars? Im sure way more people would rather ride in a normal car where they can sit side by side with their friends or family, than have to sit basically behind the others....

^In addition, the people in the back seats will be able to see straight fine, but when the try to look ahead and to the right/left, they wont see much due to the seats ahead of them

85 degs is only 5 degrees away from straight down, doesn't look like that

What the heck does Behemoth mean? and I think the seats are fine as long as you can see straight. I hope the trims do not mess with the air.

Animations are never extremely accurate, wait till it's built before we debate the drop.

It looks like an intamin seated B&M train.

I think it looks like a B&M Hyper train with recessed outside seats ;)

those trains look hot and this ride looks amazing

I like the trains but I am not crazy about them. I don't mind Deja Vu's either, so, this doesn't bug me. The layout is nice, but maybe there could have been a little more turns. I do love the helix, and the airtime should be amazing. Time to go back to Canada next summer.

I have mixed thought about this, so I'll put down some Pros and cons.

Pros
-Tall
-Steep drop
-Pretty solid layout, lots of opportunities for air
-Unique trains, interesting
Cons
-Long trains, could Eff the pacing up
-Not much after MCB
-Trains seem like just a publicity stunt, dont look very advantageous at all.
-Pretty homosexual name
-Also great job by the park on completely ruining the atmosphere of the best themed coaster at the park. Its okay to put something like Goliath over Georgia Scorcher, But putting this over Italian Job really stinks.

If they are gonna go and make the trians be 50 feet long they could at least do it by making standard row and adding rows to make like 10 or 11. I think it will either work out well, or be a flop for the pacing. We'll see.

Yeah, if they had 4 seat rows for the same distance, the capacity would go WAY up.

Pretty much just means big...

I think #4 is best fitting.

Those trains are awesome!

Thats what I said, I said they're hawtt.

I wonder why B&M did not put more cars on, like 9 or 10, instead of just 8.

I hope the friction on the real ride is faster than the video.

Other than that, the ride looks awesome, but, I doubt there would be hardly any airtime on the first hill, even in the back.

I have to report about all the trim brake things. They are just going to ruin all the good ejector air!

Sometimes trims aren't always installed.

Im jealous that Canada's Wonderland got a roller coaster before Carowinds did. But I know they needed a new one.

Welcome back Coasterkat.

Whaaa? No airtime on that drop, are you kidding? You can't have 85????????? and not have air, it's just not possible.

Also, think what you're implying, ejector air + B&M. Doesn't really happen ever.

It is possible.

Nope, impossible.
