Groteslurf Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I do hope they get it up and running again as in exactly 1 week we'll be there and since our visit to CW will be our biggest drive of our trip, it would be a shame to miss Behemoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I just added Behemoth to my coaster counter account, and it has officially become my 100th credit. Not a bad way to break a milestone. Â Â Really though, it's probably something like 105 since I've been on several traveling coasters, mostly clones, that aren't listed anywhere.

niiicolaaah Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sorry to be potentially annoying, but does anyone know if Behemoth is back up yet? Â **EDIT** | Whoops, I'm smart aren't I. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The park isn't open during the week yet, so we wont know till Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastrfreak2000 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Sorry to be potentially annoying, but does anyone know if Behemoth is back up yet?  According to somebody at CWMania:  Behemoth is repaired! They've fixed the problem, and Behemoth should be operating Friday morning  Not sure how they know, but I consider them fairly trustworthy.

clewis4u Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes it's true. Iain is very trustworthy. He proved to us that the drop really is 75 degrees, not 85 as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

307 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Was at the park today, and Behemoth was back up and running! So, looks as though they got everything fixed, and in a timely matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clewis4u Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yep! I rode Behemoth 3 times today (was only there for 2.5 hours). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 So I got my first glimpse of Behemoth from the 401 on Wednesday... pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think you mean the 400. Â I really don't think the ride is visible from over 30km away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clewis4u Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Canada's Wonderland is the BIGGEST rip off park you will ever know! First they said the drop on Behemoth was 85 degrees. And now, my park insider (http://www.flickr.com/photos/clewis4u91/2457909256/sizes/l/) says that there's ERT for Action Zone on Saturday in May and June. Well well well, my visit to CW today showed how much of a rip off park this really is. They said that it was only Nickelodeon Central with ERT today and Action Zone is on Fridays. WTF?! I swear to GOD this place is going to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoasterkid Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Yeah, calm down for a second there. If that really is a mis-print though I'm sure there will be quite a few people that end up going to the park early on a saturday and being annoyed that it's the kids rides and not Action zone open early. Â I still think the bigger concern is guest control getting into the park at openings. I'll see on monday if they've changed anything since the apparent trampeling last weekend.

clewis4u Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 They have changed things. They have a group that just wants to ride other rides in Action Zone (besides Behemoth) and they have a LINE of people who are WALKED straight into Behemoth's queue a half hour before park opening.

thecoasterkid Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Sounds the same as opening day to me. They cut everyone off between Skyflyer and Poop Deck and form 2 groups there. They attempted to have people walk from that point all the way over to Behemoth in 2 phases, but it failed miserably. I'm not sure how the first group of people faired, but once the rope dropped and they let the second group "walk" towards Behemoth all hell broke loose. Â It really doesn't seem like the safest and best way to move people to the rides at opening. I know they're trying to cover themselves by trying to make people walk, but even at that it's a LARGE group of people all flowing together very tightly.

clewis4u Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 They actually split up the line into smaller groups of people (maybe 30) and took that group, waited, then took the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chemical_echo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I think you mean the 400. I really don't think the ride is visible from over 30km away. Truth, but I live about 4km from Wonderland and I can see Behemoth from on the main road What main road are you referring to? I can sometimes see the ride from Rutherford and Weston if I get the right view over/between trees when I'm driving from my girlfriend's place.

We took the 407 and I forgot it went further north than the 401.  In any case, I actually tried to take a picture while stopped in traffic... I got a decent one and accidentally deleted it a couple of days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginzo Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 First they said the drop on Behemoth was 85 degrees. Â Who cares??? Â Just be glad they built you something good for a change, unlike the crap machines they usually construct up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
