clewis4u Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks to William from CoasterWorldNews (WorldCastNews it says on the video or something like that) for contacting Dineen Beaven at CW. The following is a link to the video, it is a telephone interview with Dineen Beaven and it's really great. Here's the link: http://urltea.com/2sml If you are strapped for time and want to get straight to the interview, skip to 4:05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 ^ That guy's painful to listen to. I watched his whole show last time, so I saved myself the 10 minutes this time. Â I love how he pretends to talk to a weather person at the start of his shows, but just plays a video clip from the weather network website.

clewis4u Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Someone on CWMania said that they were listening to the radio and they said that the trains were being inspected at the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hand 0f Time Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Very awesome name. Nice colors. Nice ride. Â It relates to much to the New Goliath in SFoG though. But still looks really great. Hope to see it in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â First, but probably not a second ride. I'm guessing 2-3 hour line for it. Â I've always found SPP to be busier then it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PURE Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 For those who are UP for it, this is your first chance to experience Behemoth as we celebrate the official launch of Canada's biggest, tallest and fastest rollercoaster! Â I'm sorry, and maybe its just me but I can't help mentioning, putting the word "Canada" before anything, let alone "biggest, tallest and fastest rollercoaster" just makes the whole damn thing sound completely insignificant.

Wes Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hahaha yeah totally man, what a stupid insignificant country. It's like you know you aren't better than the USA, why even bother building a coaster at all? Canada's biggest, tallest, fastest coaster...yawn dude. Wake me up when SFMM puts in a real coaster like Tony Hawk's Big Spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoasterkid Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 It's pretty funny...Americans are all about "Bigger is better" right? Well, last time I checked Canada is the bigger country, atleast in terms of land mass. I really think you're all just jealous. Â I can't believe the number of people who are so adament that Wonderland is going to move. I've heard Woodstock or Niagara Falls as the moving locations, both of which would be absurd. People swear by the fact it's moving, and even when I tell them I'm a coaster nut and there's no way the park is going anywhere they still don't believe me. I would love to know where these rumours started and how so many people, both young and old, heard about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ^Did you remember to count Alaska and Hawaii? I'm looking foreward to riding this ride this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clewis4u Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yes, but Canada is still the 2nd largest, even if the USA counts Alaska and Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I guess that's just a bi-product of your "super size me" lifestyle down in the US. Â Everything is "bigger" in the US. Your cars, roller coasters, egos, and stomachs.

Brother Jay Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ^^ Actually.. Canada is only larger than USA if you include in-land lakes and water sources. If you don't it goes Russia, China, USA, Canada. If you want to move China down below USA you are gonna have to send your military over there to free Tibet. Â Now, back to Coasters...

coaster_dude2002 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 ^ Brother Jay is correct. The USA is larger than Canada if you subtract the inland water masses from the total land area.  According to the US Geological Survey (USGS) the land area of the USA without water is 3,539,289 square miles.  ga.water.usgs.gov/edu/wetstates.html  Statistics Canada lists the land area of Canada at 3,511,022 square miles.  www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/phys01.htm  Its fairly insignificant, 28,000 square miles isn't a heck of a lot when you look at the total size of our countries. Now that it is settled.  Behemoth looks amazing and I can wait to ride it in May. Any word on the trains arriving yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haux Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yeah, but Florida is bigger than the bottom part of the Hudson Bay, so America wins for having a bigger penis than Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecoasterkid Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 ^^ LMAO! Dude, that was awesome! I'm pretty sure I've never heard of James Bay ("bottom part of Hudson Bay") be reffered to as a penis...nor Florida for that matter. Â And of course Andrew you would find out the exact data for a geography question. Thanks! Now shouldn't you be making a map for school or something!? lol. Â I've never been to Pass Holders night, instead I always just wait until Opening Day. From what I've heard you get better crowds on opening day (or the following few sundays after that) than you do on the Passholder night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_dude2002 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yeah, but Florida is bigger than the bottom part of the Hudson Bay, so America wins for having a bigger penis than Canada  I never thought of that one!    I tend to skip season pass night on years when we get new coasters. When the Italian Job opened the lines were horrendous that night, breakdowns and undertrained staff made for a 2-3 hour line. Opening day is pretty good if you get there right when the gates open, or go on friday nights when the park is dead.  ^Shawn I hope you are up for a mad dash to Behemoth on opening day! (p.s I have to live up to my Geography degree somehow and maps are strictly Monday-Friday, don't make me change your address point to somewhere in the arctic!)
