MixedDrink Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I have ridden Behemoth upwards of 20 times, and on possibly every seat, the the stadium seating really does what B&M says it does, it makes the ride's view the same for almost everyone. Also, you really get whipped over that hill when your at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushirocks13 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I think 4 seat across is better looking than "triangle" design. Also I was wondering why can't they add a seat between 2 seats in the back row of a car. This has been bothering me since Behemoth was introduced. I've wondered the same thing, there's enough room for a 5th seat so why not . I also agree that the 4 across look way better!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but B&M decided upon the new trains because it alows for a larger parabolic curve at the crests of each hill. This allows for longer floater airtime on each hill. I know... I'm a nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyTrane Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Could it be for weight displacement of the train? Seems like a short train would have an awful lot of force in a concentrated area versus a longer train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesMC Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I believe it has to do with a number of factors 1.) The View 2.)Stresses are reduced to track and train by spreading people out. 3.) It's easier to load 2 people per row than 4. 4.) Allows for more airtime with a longer train. 5.) In the future the "missing seats" arrangement will allow such things as a commode, microwave, entertainment center, and/or pet carriers to be placed on the longer world record-breaking rides that B&M has envisioned.

MixedDrink Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 ^ That is most definitely "Lol Worthy"! I can't wait to get to Darien Lake so I can truly say I prefer one brand of hyper over another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
