Skycoastin Steve Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It looks a lot like Intimidator in that picture, just the way it turns and rides along the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aLFREd_25 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I agree, that angle makes this beast look huge. Not that there is anything small about a 300ft coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's definitely LARGE. It's quite a walk going all the way from the front gate to the bus loop (near the bottom of the first drop). During our last construction tour, we were told the walkways & driveway/parking lot will be redone right around the supports for the large camelback hill (directly under the ride). So the potential is there to be walking or driving beneath this beast as trains whiz by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Someone remind me - did they build right on the parking lot itself or actually fill the surrounding area with soil and/or grass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 A bit of both. The first drop area was completely dug up and dirt pushed out around it. Parts of the coaster have been built directly over the parking lot and will have driveways/walkways under neath it. The park hasn't officially announced any landscaping details yet. New Leviathan update on the official page and Facebook page: http://leviathan.canadaswonderland.com/public/latest/ The rising waters building has been moved to its new location: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Leviathan is almost done!! Photos courtesy of CW's Facebook page I've said it before and I'll say it again, CW is going to have the most incredible parking lot ever. That is one tall B&M. Station Construction on the last element of Leviathan. It should be done within the next couple weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Track installation should be completed by the end of next week. They've already started track alignment. Once that's complete, the clearance envelopment frame will go around the track (mainly to check tree/branch clearance ). Then testing can begin!

BaMiTsPaT Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Those shots with the snow are surreal. They don't look real, but more like something fantastic in RCT or Nolimits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_n_coastin Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 This is awesome. But really, seriously, watch out for the tree branch Loving the station and the workmanship. They are using actual wood and masonry! The good folks in Sandusky obviously weren't able to override this one with the 'generic' build out....

1pizza14 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Those shots with the snow are surreal. They don't look real, but more like something fantastic in RCT or Nolimits. Agreed. The snow and the sky blend with the track and supports incredibly! I am really looking forward to the completion of this ride. I am excited its almost time to see testing videos! (hopefully).

crazywolf88 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I wonder how loud the roar of this thing is going to be, as a giga coaster it'll probably have an insane one. With that first drop right next to the parking lot, we will be able to hear it pretty well. unless it's filled with sand. To add that turnaround looks unorthodox and amazing at the same time, it so cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 ^I have to imagine that there'll be sand in those supports and in the spine. You can't mute a Beemer, but I'm not sure the roar of one going 95 is good for the ears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odene497 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Almost done! It's such a gorgeous ride. I can't wait to see how the speed plays into some of the lesser-intense looking elements. Looks like it'll be a really fun and re-rideable ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't mute a Beemer, but I'm not sure the roar of one going 95 is good for the ears! I really don't know what you are saying, but most B&Ms are muted. Example: Medusa (SFDK): This beast is extremely quiet and all you can hear is the screams and a quiet whoosh! of the wind becoming disoriented.

coasterlover420 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^They are? I know way more B&M's that make a ton of noise than I do with sand in them. I agree, though, it is possible to mute them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^Same. And I'm not sure I've ever heard one totally muted. I've heard quieter ones, but I've never heard one that's silent. I can't even imagine a silent B&M! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Talon was the first one I experienced which was pretty much silent. The older B&M's tend to be loud enough to hear halfway across the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 ^Same. And I'm not sure I've ever heard one totally muted. I've heard quieter ones, but I've never heard one that's silent. I can't even imagine a silent B&M! Patriot makes even less noise than Spinning Dragons, you wouldn't know it was going by if you weren't looking.
