Haunting Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 ^The snow makes it look even more beautiful...The crane however is a whole different story! I'm thinking about going to CW this summer; this coaster looks amazing each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 That lift hill just looks so odd to me with the supports the way they are. You expect to see that on an Intamin coaster maybe, not on a B&M. Can't wait to ride this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noregrets Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Yes that second picture is quite spectacular, thank you for taking it. It's really amazing to me how steep that drop is compared to other hyper coasters, it's a very sharp. Millennium Force for example I think has a much smoother and rounded drop.

buckaroo234 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I got 18 as well. And this thing just keeps looking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think B&M has finally done something incredible with this coaster. Also, to Cedar Fair, 5 years ago I would have never dreamed of seeing anything this incredible at CW. So, THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Looks like the second airtime hill has been completed for Leviathan!!! Wouldn't be surprised if in less than 2 weeks the final piece of track will be placed!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 That hill is reeeally drawn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Though this hill is being taken around 96 km/h (60 mph) , I fail to see how it will produce any air whatsoever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunpc1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If these hills provide airtime: I'm sure this will provide floater air as well: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 They must be expecting atleast some air there, considering they have the trims on the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legoguy1395 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If these hills provide airtime: I'm sure this will provide floater air as well: But those do not provide airtime. Whatsoever. ------------------------------------------------- I do agree, the hill does look really drown out, much more than normal B&M. I think it might give a sensation similar to Goliath/Titan's Airtime-Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I've had very mixed experiences on Millennium Force rides. When it's colder, there's no air. But getting some rides in during a hot day when it's running faster, you can definitely get some floater air on both hills. Sure, it's not the typical Intamin ejector air many of us love, but the gentle, floater air is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think it might give a sensation similar to Goliath/Titan's Airtime-Hill. If that's the case, I'll take it! Those hills are a major part of why I love those two rides. I personally thought Millennium Force had a decent amount of airtime, certainly enough to keep it highly ranked in my book (along with several other aspects that also endear it to me). I realize it may be a matter of time or weather; I experienced this from morning to night on dry, hot days. At any rate, gentle airtime is perfectly fine by me.

Philrad71 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 After seeing the progress on Levi, I'm thinking that this might be more thrilling than I first imagined - I sure hope that I can eat my words from a few months ago, but we'll see. Still don't get the "no-airtime" comparisons to Millenium though. Perhaps I'm a little weird, but every time I ride MF, I get two spots of nice airtime no matter where I sit. The smaller hill in the photo and the bunny-hop towards the end of the ride. I've been on Millenium about 50 times and those are still two of my favorite hills on a coaster. And yeah, I happen to like the first drop too! Am I the only one that gets airtime here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ^You aren't the only one, there's definitely airtime in those two spots. Not so much early on a cold morning, but throughout the day it does get better. It certainly isn't extreme, but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've never gotten any airtime on Millennium's hill going onto the island. I've gotten some very minor air on the return hill. The only spot on MF that I get decent airtime is the small hill by the station. Which oddly enough, Leviathan's speed hill after the first turn reminds me of, except at a higher speed. That hill on Leviathan is what I'm most curious about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ^Yeah, I definitely think that there should be a decent pop on that speed hill before the first camelback! Doesn't look nearly as sharp as the pop on I305 after the first big airtime hill, but it should be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think people get bent out of shape over Millennium Force because the transition is much more gradual. It's not going to throw you out of your seat, but the weightlessness is still there. And yes, there is less of this experience depending on weather, but it's just not the type of coaster with quick transitions. B&M, on the other hand, tend to incorporate very quick transitions (I refer to the transition from +g to -g) as is evident by Leviathan's first drop. You shouldn't really confuse this with airtime, because if there's one hyper coaster I experienced less airtime on than Millennium Force, it was Diamondback (I refer to sitting in the middle of the train, of course).
