larrygator Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 2000 Steel Dragon Millennium Force Goliath (SFMM) Speed:The Ride Son of Beast S:ROS (SFNE) 2012 should forever be called the year of the MASSIVE. I mean, look:Skyrush:200 feet Wild Eagle:210 feet Shambhala:250+ feet and last but not least: Leviathan:306 feet I honestly don't know of a year with more new 200+foot tall coasters!

Intimidator305 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 That last picture really shows how much Cedar Fair has improved the Canada's Wonderland skyline. I like how WindSeeker kind of has the colors of Behemoth's supports and Leviathan's track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElToroExtreme Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I think it is odd that the Leviathan has fewer supports on the lift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 GP will probably think Behemoth is taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW_Nut Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 ^I also noticed that the "Barrel Roll" is very short compared to the first drop. Ya I am thinking the "barrel roll" is going to be an amazing element. This ride is going to be all about the speed so I cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmichellex Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I LOVE the color of this coaster! It's looking great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) The construction on this ride is good so far! I'm not going to go and say that it's the year of something, but this is the 2nd B&M this year which seems to be going up pretty quickly. Although I think it's weird that the first B&M Giga is being built at a park that's already home to a B&M Hyper, I can certainly tell that the rides are going to be different in several ways. I'm sure the general public won't mind, and what coaster enthusiast can complain about having 2 great B&Ms over 200 ft at the same park?

AJClarke0912 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 When I went to SF:STL when I was little, I remember my distorted image of the skyline of the park...just steel track 1000's of feet up in the air like a crazy place. And that last pic looks just like that! Very intimidating skyline...props to CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm loving the way that drop is looking. It pulls out quite a ways down the drop. It should offer some great sustained airtime. Hopefully someday I will be able to get to the park and ride it. I've loved the three B&M megacoasters I've ridden and would love to try this and Behemoth out.

XYZ Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I am very impressed with Leviathan as I now admit I slightly underestimated it. Though, it's amazing how Cedar Fair changed the skyline as before the only ride over 200' was Drop Zone and now there are 4 rides over 200'.

Richard Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The colours make more sense now! Look how beautifully it contrasts against Behemoth in the skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ^Agreed! At first I was not a fan of the colours at all. But I have to admit that this thing is looking way better in real life than it did in the renderings in my opinion. Also is it just me, or does the rotation in the first over bank / barrel roll looks like it starts earlier than it did in the animated POV?

Skycoastin Steve Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 On the 7th day, B&M looked at what they had created, saw that it was good, and rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 On the 7th day, B&M looked at what they had created, saw that it was good, and rested. Possibly, but certainly after a coaster inspired by Kumba is tucked in there somewhere. We'd be inundated by angels at that point Leviathan is looking fantastic--what a drop! Especially with fewer supports. The view (to the right?) of the park and downtown Toronto should be awesome during the climb up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karezza Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Just got back from a quick ride up to Wonderland to check on the construction. I figured I'd add a few more shots cause lets admit, who doesn't want to see more of this sexy sexy ride? That's what I thought. Enjoy. Just like everybody posting before me, I'm really digging the height of this thing! I like in this picture the size of the structure in proportion with the parking lamps.

PCW_Nut Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Surprising what a 76ft difference can do for a ride. The coaster nerd in me is still waiting to find out the official drop height. When I've been up on site to see this beast in person, I still can't tell if there's any elevation change between the station and the drop. It appears there is one, even if just a little, but could be a matter of perspective. This still has the potential to have the largest gravity based drop in the world if I am not mistaken MF is a 300' drop, so there is still hope we may have a world record here in Canada. Regardless, the ride still looks kick ass and cannot wait. Going up again on Saturday to get another update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 RCDB lists the height as 306', which probably means ground to top of lift. So unless the first drop is going all the way to ground level through a trench or something, I doubt it will actually be longer than 300'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
