cmullin Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I just got back from a trip to Canada and got my first ride on Leviathan. All I can say is WOW! That ride kicks some serious butt. This is my first coaster at 300ft. and it just blew me away. I couldn't get over how spread out the coaster is and how fast it races through the layout. How does it compare to other Gigas like Millenium Force? If only my home state of Florida could get something this big and awesome. I hope we can look forward to a Giga coaster at Busch Gardens some day. I personally like Millennium Force and I305 better than Leviathan, but Leviathan is still in my top ten. I loved it!

CorkscrewFoley Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I haven't been on I305 yet, but I preferred Leviathan to Millennium Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugEyed Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I personally like Millennium Force and I305 better than Leviathan, but Leviathan is still in my top ten. I loved it! Agreed. Leviathan is a good time but i305 is an angry and unbeatable foe and Millennium Force has a certain unquantifiable charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathanlover Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I like Leviathan better than Millennium and I305. The first drop is the best of all the gigas (maybe the best on any coaster) and the ride felt faster than I305 to me, mostly because of the surroundings of Leviathan. Plus, if you get a ride on Leviathan when the trim brakes are off, it is so much better because the last turn is taken at a much faster speed and there is more airtime on the second airtime hill.

chipspeed Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Hi, I'll visit CW for the first time on Sunday, 28th July before leaving for the Texas Midwest Trip So, if you want to meet up with a french guy, don't hesitate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 How does it compare to other Gigas like Millenium Force? I actually find it a lot like Millennium Force. It's got the big sweeping turns, a few airtime hills and is really built to show off the sensation of speed. I305 on the other hand is a completely different beast. It's all about balls to the wall intensity with very quick transitions and some killer pops of airtime. In my opinion, I305 > Leviathan > Millennium Force. Your mileage may vary, of course.

adavis Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Does anyone know if there is any flooding at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokey Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Does anyone know if there is any flooding at the park? I was at the park today and didn't notice any major flooding. There was however some pooling of water in Wild Beast's infield and underneath Minebuster's station. Other than that, I didn't notice anything significant.

Dom497 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Just watched a recent video of the show and was surprised to see that Wonderland has changed some of the scenes! Play the original video posted 2 pages back beside this one to see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFair1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Something is going on in the mountain, as a big chunk near the top is ripped open and they seem to be patching up around it with some markers on the outside. markers on ground and mountain wall mountain work old fencing and tree clearing going on behind white water canyon as well weird stumps near white water canyon appear to be hiding stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Interesting, those areas are both quite far apart. I feel like the White Water Canyon clearing is probably for a haunt maze, as Cornstalkers is usually back in that area, and the mountain clearing? Very interested to see what that is for.

CedarFair1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 the white water canyon area didn't have significant clearing just looked like they cleared some stuff for maybe surveying. could be a 2015, 2016 , 2017 project as you know these things are planned years in advance. A haunt maze wont go back there as it leads to the water flow for white water canyon and out towards the highway. plus all the mazes are pretty much done exterior wise.

Dom497 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 plus all the mazes are pretty much done exterior wise. No....all (or at least most) of the mazes still have their exteriors under construction... Also, I've spotted those blue survey markers in the WindSeeker and Skyrider areas and they all seem to marking water/hydro/electric access points.

CedarFair1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 More holes are appearing in the mountain under Vortex and some new blue and red markers in and around Vortex. Some you can tell are new from how clean the paint looks. I took a picture of the haunt maze running through the woods and its exterior is up and on the opposite side. Some of the markers are so far out you can't see them on an Iphone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarFair1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks to Kunpc1 from Cwmania for sharing this twitter picture and many more on Cwmania, looks like the new 2014 ride is in the mountain!

chickenbowl Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^ What do you guys think this could be? A new attraction? General improvements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Maybe something new for 2014. Or Maybe something for this year's Halloween Haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatle11 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Got an email from Canada's Wonderland confirming a new ride for 2014. Announcement is indeed August 30th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The rumor right now according to Screamscape is that Thunder Run may be removed. Is the park planning on maybe building a new track that goes inside of the mountain? I would love to see a dark ride that uses the mountain instead of that or a Halloween Haunt attraction.

coasterjunkie1975 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If this is indeed a new dark ride I hoping for something up there in terms of Curse of Darkastle.....I know it won't be anywhere near the quality of anything Universal has to offer.

kunpc1 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Thunder Run is not being removed. It will still be running in the mountain with our 2014 addition next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
