mightypotato Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The hammerhead looks odd from that angle. Kinda reminds me of the Nitro hammerhead/turnaround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belo777 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Wow, those the two hammerheads are very similar. How tall is Nitro's hammerhead compared too this ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Levi's hammerhead is much larger and more angled than Nitro's 180 turn. Hopefully this helps clear up any curiosity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah, those two hammerheads are completely different. Levi's is more or less a mix of the egg turns on the flyers and the normal hyper hammerhead. With some really awkward banking thrown in for good measure.

belo777 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Oh, yes. From that angle they are MUCH different. Thank you for posting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 They just posted a bunch of new photos to the construction album on facebook, including a sneak peek at the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The turnaround posted above for Leviathon kinda reminds me of the old "cutback" element on BG's Drachen Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The first train is on site. The second train will arrive in February. And the third train will arrive in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I bet one of those seats would make a helluva lawn chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 ^Hell, I'd even put the lap bar down. They're sooo comfy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I bet one of those seats would make a helluva lawn chair. Maybe I can convince the park to order an extra "test seat" for me just for that purpose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I bet one of those seats would make a helluva lawn chair. I've always said that I could easily use a B&M hyper seat as a chair in my living room. More comfy than a recliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awptim0 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Now THIS is a picture that shows all the weird angles on Leviathan's hammerhead! http://www.cwmania.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10032/089~2.JPG posted by kunpc1 @ cwmania.com Edited January 25, 2012 by Awptim0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I know Cedar Point used to(maybe still does?) sell the old seat shells from TTD. Maybe other rides as well, I can't remember. But I know I remember seeing the TTD seats. You'd need a hell of a lot of disinfectant though before using it as furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That's why I need to get them to order me an extra one! Haha, brand new out of the shrink wrap right into my basement in front of the big screen. Now that's comfort! Can't wait to go over that first drop in the back row with those clamshell restraints. Not sure if everyone her caught this; they hope for Leviathan's lift to go around 4.5m per second (50% faster than Behemoth's). Even though this is chain lift, it's going to be a quick ascent to the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though this is chain lift, it's going to be a quick ascent to the top! That's good to hear as the B&M hypers are slower than a snail going up the lift! I'm still a little shocked of the angle of the lift, I thought it would be much steeper than it is... Did anyone ever find out the actual ange of it?

Ejectorbater Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^You know...I actually enjoy a long slow ride up the lift hill. To me its one of the more relaxing/exciting moments at a park. Sometimes I wish MF's lift hill was slower. You get such a great view on the way up. Same could be said for so many other large coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they're slower than the cable lifts, but they a much quicker than most lifts. Ride Diamondback then go ride Flight Deck, Vortex, or The Beast or ride Goliath then ride Georgia Cyclone, MindBender, or Ninja if you want to see slow lifts.

coasterfreak101 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Also, I noticed that Diamondback's lift was a lot faster than the older B&M hypers like Nitro. So Levi shouldn't be as bad as, say, SD2K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Togos by far have the slowest lifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
