Dleo Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's exciting to think that there will be a big B&M just an hour away from me... hope they don't notice my frequent pattern of calling in sick at work once Behemoth opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownStreak Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I don't quite get where this coaster is- I see Italian Job- but I don't know where that is either- it was added after I was there last. I went to the park about once every two weeks in Summer 2004 I think- can someone tell me where this is in relation to what was there then?

CHILLERLC1 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's behind one of the woodies. That's the Canadian Minebuster I guess? It's like Cedar Fair disregarded Italian Job and built ride over it. If it was their park earlier I guess they wouldn't have that one coaster. That one trim brake has more Gianovola looking track leading up to it. Steps to the trim brake are built into the spine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandaman Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 All those pictures by "DanTheMan" had me a bit confused at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Is it me or does that look like Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia? Not exactly, but it seems to me it kinda does. Oh well, looks like its coming along great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildStangAlex Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well, it is the same type of coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterking2981 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, it is the same type of coaster. I knew it was a hyper coaster when they announced it, but the layout seemed very similar to Goliath at SFoG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFjunkie2010 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It is similar, but Behemoth is in a more compact space due to the water near it, whereas Goliath travels over roads and out of park land. Also, Behemoth has that tight hammerhead turn that Goliath does not have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Glad to see that Behemonth is coming up fast and I look foreward to riding it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadmos Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I don't quite get where this coaster is- I see Italian Job- but I don't know where that is either- it was added after I was there last. I went to the park about once every two weeks in Summer 2004 I think- can someone tell me where this is in relation to what was there then? It is basically following the edge of the pond, behind the water park and minebuster. http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=43.838025,-79.541177&spn=0.00455,0.011694&t=h&z=17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clewis4u Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The official Behemoth website is down. I wonder if it's plainly broken, or if it's undergoing updates. http://behemoth.canadaswonderland.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Is it just me or does Behemoth have the same color scheme as Mantis? Maybe it is just the picture, but it sure looks like they have the same colors. At any rate, this is looking like a great ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsPlusNotes Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ^ Behemoth has the same color scheme as Talon at Dorney Park. Mantis has red in the track, while Talon and Behemoth have orange. Both color schemes are some of my favs, though! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ^^Not quite. The top of Mantis' track is red, and Behemoth is orange. On that note though, it's spot on with Talon (sorry, I was beat to it): from RCDB Well, it is the same type of coaster. I knew it was a hyper coaster when they announced it, but the layout seemed very similar to Goliath at SFoG Outside of the fact that they both have hills and a helix, they aren't really anything a like to me. from RCDB Just my thoughts though.

Yankee cannonball Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ^^where is the hammerhead on that layout? or is that goliath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force 310 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 The hammerhead is after the second airtime hill on Behemoth. The layout pictured is Goliath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaparri Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 ^Exactly, you made part of my point. The layout is Goliath, and I was just showing that it's not really like Behemoth except that they are both out-n-back style coasters with hills and a helix. But the order and layout is completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublex98 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 It looks so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 This ride looks rather huge, I will say that. And very photogenic! I'd be thrilled to take this one for a spin, with the new cars and everything. Opening day will be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I keep forgetting about the new trains. I'm interested in seeing how they look on the ride, and if they provide a smooth ride experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
