You're comparing a dangerous vehicle (drunk drivers!) with a safe reliable B&M (which follows the same track every single time).

Excellent. Tear it down!!!

I agree with you. But basically there's nothing to do besides wait and see how things turn out. Oh, and yes, CW can become VERY crowded. How does waiting an hour for a slice of $4.50 pizza sound? Halloween Haunt was jammed; there were too many people. At the mazes, employees just shuffled the entire line through. The 400 highway was backed up past Vaughan Mills. I was reading on CWMania that if you tried to get in the park at 7pm, you probably wouldn't get in until 8:30. Anyways, back on topic!

All we can do is basically wait and see how things turn out. I'll be going on Season Pass Preview Nite so I'll make sure to report how things are. Of course SPPN can't be compared to a regular operating day, but if it gets filled on Season Pass Night then there will definitely be issues. I really hope they get a team of well trained people that can meet capacity expectations.

Yes, I very much agree with you. Hopefully they'll just let the line spill onto the midway. Or maybe they will reconsider and build a bigger queue line. Seriously though, 45 minutes? Top Gun will even have a longer queue line.

Yes, but they'll most likely stop more people from lining up. They did that with Italian Job the year it debuted. There were 2 employees in front of the queue line and they were turning away guests. Since this will most likely happen with Behemoth too, I'll be sure to get in as soon as possible. I'll stand there and wait until they're accepting more people.

This is a high capacity B&M remember. So in less than an hour I can get on Behemoth . Hmmm. How many times can i ride it on a 12 hour operating day .

There is some very interesting information posted on CWMania. Check the first post in this thread for all the details: http://www.cwmania.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10331#10331 In case you are too lazy to go there, here's some motivation. It states when the trains are expected to arrive. It also states that the completion date is sooner than you would expect. Check it out.

Most rides at the park have exit ramps which guests with disabilities can use. There will probably be stairs to and from the station, which is most likely why an elevator will be used. It just feels unusual because no other ride in the park has an elevator.

Major update! Apparently the station will have an ELEVATOR, yes, an ELEVATOR! Italian Job will have a new queue entrance. They will also be widening the midway by Sledge Hammer and Orbiter. Orbiter will also have a new queue line. Dan (the admin) on CWMania has the privilege of getting behind the scenes access with the park's Public Relations person and the construction manager. Anyways, here's the links to the pictures.

It's not THAT much space between people. We're talking about a foot apart.

UPDATE! (yes, with photos!) coasterguy77 on CWMania has taken these wonderful pictures. I've just quoted the whole post to make everyone's life easier. Enjoy! ------------------------- "Ok, here it is! We had to go through all those houses around Wonderland, around a pond, over a bridge and across a field, but we made it It is absolutely MASSIVE in real life. We got through the houses and all that, and then when we got out of them, Behemoth is just sticking out, dominating EVERYTHING. It was awesome. Anyway, here are some pics of the track so far! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom048.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom021.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom019.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom020.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom040.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom049.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom035.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom034.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom046.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom031.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom029.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom042.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom028.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom041.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom023.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom022.jpg 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. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom025.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom026.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom032.jpg http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom045.jpg 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!! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom030.jpg One pic of station construction, I was too far away to notice any details of anything new that happened. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom043.jpg And, one pic of the steepest part of the drop. Now the whole 85 degree arguement can be done with! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h119/coasterguy77/BehemothWalkRandom047.jpg Aha, what does everybody think of it now? Not 85, but it looks INSANE anyways. So that's the update, enjoy the pics everyone!" -coasterguy 77 on CWMania

Behemoth should be your 500th coaster.

Here's another picture for you guys to drool over: http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/_upload/photo_gallery/construction/2007_1108_01.jpg

Thanks for these wonderful pics cedarpointfan1 on CWMania!! http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410276 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410277 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410278 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410279 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410285 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410297 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410284 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410283 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410280 http://www.maj.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1410294 It does appear that the drop is around 74 degrees. Not really a big let down. No matter what, it will still be very amazing. Also, WHY would Cedar Fair lie to us?

Me too.

Two more picture courtesy of coasterboy on CWMania. The drop is finally being constructed . http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p205/pcwcoasterboy/DSCF2900.jpg http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p205/pcwcoasterboy/DSCF2898.jpg

You can thank Denis on CWmania for that picture. He sent it to me via picture messaging. It looks so amazing .

Members on CWmania will be doing a photo update Wednesday/Thursday. Then we'll hopefully finally see Behemoth's lift hill COMPLETE!

Canadian construction . Just kidding.

Well Drop Zone is still taller. For now.

From that angle, it appears so. Behemoth!
