Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

The more I look at it, the more I dislike the color of that first drop support beam.

 

Wouldn't it look better like this ?

 

Seriously?

I dislike the support in the photo you made.

[coasterbill]

The season needs to hurry up and start... it's only November 28th and we're already debating the color of one support beam. lol

[DJeXeL]

So now we are on to complaining about the colors of the supports........

[Dom497]

^Agreed! First "The World's Longest Brake Run" than a bunch of other pointless arguments including this support "issues". Next we are going to be complaining about the trains, the trim brakes, how slow the lift is, and that the line to get on is too long (I'm not complaining...but I just know these things are going to pop up in someones post).

[Schotcher]

^ But I was hoping for 9 cars per train instead of 8!!! Now the capacity is going to suck!

[rollin_n_coastin]

^^^I don't think anyone is complaining, just offering an opinion on color theory at this point

 

Now, if it goes on for more than page or two, then yes, I'd agree.

 

That track spine support does look funky though!

[coasterlover420]

Welcome to the off-season people!

[PCW_Nut]

Cause we're all going to notice the color of the spine while travelling down the hill at 148km/h (92mp/h the Americans).

Since B&M is pushing their standards for size on this coaster, they wanted to go with their classic train design as they've been reliable in their previous installations. They'd like to avoid any "surprises" like the vibrations/rattling of the newer train designs used on Behemoth, Diamondback and Intimidator.

 

Definitely noticed the rattling in the back car on Diamondback in August, and the back on Behemoth at the end of the season. Meanwhile Nitro is still smooth as new after 10 years. Can't argue with their reasoning on this.

[Philrad71]

^Intimidator at Carowinds also had a noticeable rattle towards the back (on the outside right) this season. Still was a decent ride, but definitely noticeable. Also noticed the rattle on Behemoth this year too...

That is part of the theming.

 

On topic, I MUST get a passport before next summer.

I enjoyed that.

That better be a joke because I'm about to punch my computer screen (if you are serious)!!!

[Bryce232]

^By his extensive use of smilies I'm pretty sure he was joking

[DarkStitch626]

Surprise! thank you CW website!

 

The newer seats rather than the flat tops, the restraints look a bit more "low cut" than standard. Which I am kinda hoping for. Though who doesn't love sexy Clamshells..

I think that the restraints look the exact same than a standard B&M. Never the less the restraints are still super comfy and allow for some nice airtime if you are not stapled.

Here is a pic of Behemoths restraints. I think they look about the same.

[DarkStitch626]

Might just be the concept art but Levy's seem more pointy and angry looking.

[odene497]

I feel like the train type/roughness issue is more a variable dealing with maintenance. I thought Behemoth was great this past fall. Yet my last rides on Goliath at SFOG were insanely rattly and rough. However, if B&M said they'd prefer their more trusty old trains on a new ride like this vs. the "new trains," I guess there's something slightly off about them.

[DougMJr]

I have no opinion on the trains as I have never ridden a B&M hyper.

 

But I cannot wait to get my butt over to Canada next season and find out!

I find it a lot more interesting to discuss all of the above than reading the same "omg it's so big" replies after every photo update. Yes, it's big. We've known that since the ride was announced with a near-perfect virtual recreation.

However, the color of that backbone support is something unexpected, as it was painted blue in the announcement renders (see attachment).

 

edit: The park has let me know they will not be repainting it.

I personally like slow/extended lift hills. #KanyeShrug

Hey everyone, just want to let you all know there will be a Canadian Discovery Channel piece on Leviathan that will air tomorrow night (November 30th) at 7pm on Daily Planet.

[Markolodeon]

Thanks for the amazing photos and update! I just applied for a passport today, can't wait! Here's hoping that in addition to the LeviaTHON trip there will be a LeviaBASH.

[SharkTums]

^You can pretty much count on that!

[DougMJr]

^YES! YES! A million times YES!

 

This makes up for not being able to afford Leviathon in addition to new hotness. I will defiantly be at the Bash.
