crazywolf88 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wonder how loud the roar of this thing is going to be, as a giga coaster it'll probably have an insane one. With that first drop right next to the parking lot, we will be able to hear it pretty well. unless it's filled with sand. To add that turnaround looks unorthodox and amazing at the same time, it so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^I have to imagine that there'll be sand in those supports and in the spine. You can't mute a Beemer, but I'm not sure the roar of one going 95 is good for the ears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^When has B&M ever cared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^When's the last time they built a giga? Never happened before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Almost done! It's such a gorgeous ride. I can't wait to see how the speed plays into some of the lesser-intense looking elements. Looks like it'll be a really fun and re-rideable ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't mute a Beemer, but I'm not sure the roar of one going 95 is good for the ears! I really don't know what you are saying, but most B&Ms are muted. Example: Medusa (SFDK): This beast is extremely quiet and all you can hear is the screams and a quiet whoosh! of the wind becoming disoriented.

coasterlover420 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^They are? I know way more B&M's that make a ton of noise than I do with sand in them. I agree, though, it is possible to mute them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^Same. And I'm not sure I've ever heard one totally muted. I've heard quieter ones, but I've never heard one that's silent. I can't even imagine a silent B&M! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Talon was the first one I experienced which was pretty much silent. The older B&M's tend to be loud enough to hear halfway across the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^Same. And I'm not sure I've ever heard one totally muted. I've heard quieter ones, but I've never heard one that's silent. I can't even imagine a silent B&M! Patriot makes even less noise than Spinning Dragons, you wouldn't know it was going by if you weren't looking.

UrbanLegend Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 S:UF at Great Adventure is also pretty quiet from what I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 S:UF at Great Adventure is also pretty quiet from what I can remember. I don't think any of the Superman flyers use sand to reduce noise. They might sound quieter, but that's because they crawl through the layout.

Skycoastin Steve Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Talon, Hydra, Patriot, Griffon, and Alpengeist are all fairly quiet B&Ms. I think the Dorney ones are the quietest that I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in California, most of them are muted for noise complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Leviathan is COMPLETE!! A short video of the last piece being placed can be found at CW's Facebook page. Pictures and a blog update will be posted tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think that's the tallest last piece ever constructed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 CW has uploaded new construction pictures of the now completed Leviathan on Facebook. Here are, IMO, the best in the batch: This is gonna be one apprehension-filled lift hill Gorgeous drop Big barrel roll, little barrel roll Dragon Fire will certainly have amazing views of this coaster! When guests are leaving the park, this will be their view. Placing the last piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeist04 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm really liking the hammerhead into that high speed curve. Overall, I think it looks great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
