^The rest of the track doesn't have catwalks to attach the lights to.

[DougMJr]

Wow. It must be amazing in person. Can't wait to see what lighting package will be used during operation.

Ooooooh, 4.5 G's. B&M's going back to the gold ol' days! Yay!!!

[Tmcdllr]

Forget the coaster, I want that water jet pack thing!

[sfgam#1]

I feel foolish that I've been saying Leviathan WRONG this whole time LOL

[Skycoastin Steve]

^I think it's a tomato to-mah-to kinda thing. Either way you pronounce it is correct, it's just your personal preference.

[cal1br3tto]

Doesn't the word "behemoth" have more than one pronunciation also? Granted, the more epic of the two most common options seems to be the one used for the coaster.

[Fooz]

Now I'm curious as to how people were pronouncing it otherwise.

[Tanks4me05]

^My guess is that people were calling it Leviathon, ie confusing the TPR event with the name of the coaster. That's what a couple of my other enthusiast friends called it.

I was pronouncing it Levith-ian. Whoops, guess I was wrong!

[buckaroo234]

i pronounce it the way it was pronounced in farscape (the show with the living ship, from a race called leviathans).

Hey for those who have been before, how is season pass preview day crowd wise? This year it is April 27th, a Friday evening. How does it compare with other Fridays and such in June?

 

We were thinking of driving up from Cleveland to ride Leviathan and Behemoth and such... Quite the drive, not sure if it will be worth it to get there for preview day if we could... Want to make it worthwhile... Was at the park in Fall, so don't need to ride about 80% of the stuff in the park, mainly Leviathan... Not sure if it is packed this day or pretty light crowds, etc...

 

Appreciate any help!

[PCW_Nut]

Crowds will be heavy. Let's say this. On preview night behemoth had a 4 hour wait. I'd suggest not coming all the way up for preview night. YouTube wonderland preview 2008 and that may give an idea of the crowds.

[mightypotato]

The crowds for preview night will be insane. I'm pretty sure I'm only getting one ride on Leviathan and nothing else before the park closes.

[PCW_Nut]

Here's a good clip to look at.

[coasterswim]

Ooooooh, 4.5 G's. B&M's going back to the gold ol' days! Yay!!!

Unfortunately, if you look closely at the computer screen after the 2nd test run, the Z-axis hits a max of 3.40 G's which is quite a far stretch from the quoted 4.5.

[Invertalon]

Thanks for the responses! Looks like I will pass... Was not sure how it was, but that clearly shows (the video). We will go later in the season!

If you go before schools get out up here you'll be in for some normally light days. I think the school season ends in June sometime now.

 

If you can come during the week in May for example you should see much lighter crowds during the day.

Just posted to CW's facebook.

 

A DARK announcement about Leviathan is coming soon! Check back on April 18 for all of the details.

Could this mean a tunnel is being added?!

[Tanks4me05]

Hmmmmm... dark announcement, purple photo... I call black light chaser lights.

[Skycoastin Steve]

I still think they bring out a real dragon that eats annoying members of the GP while the train is sitting on the world's longest brake run.
