Canada's Biggest, Fastest and Tallest Roller Coaster
Canada's Wonderland changes the landscape for thrill seekers in 2008, with the addition of Canada's biggest, fastest and tallest roller coaster - Behemoth. Following 18 months of planning and construction, Behemoth will premiere at Canada's Wonderland in May 2008.
At over 5,300 feet (1,616m) in length, Behemoth sets the stage for thrills with a climb to a height of 230 feet (70.1m), followed by an adrenaline pumping 85 degree drop with speeds reaching 125 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. The coaster then takes riders through the ultimate coaster experience with high speed twists and turns, including double banked flat loops (horizontal loops) and eight extreme drops. Intensifying the action packed adventure, the ride features prototype open-air seating that will allow all riders to experience an unobstructed view of the thrills and excitement of one of North America's best coasters.
"Behemoth will be the biggest investment in Canada's Wonderland's 27 year history at approximately $26 million dollars," said Raffi Kaprelyan, Vice President and General Manager, Canada's Wonderland. "With the addition of Behemoth, we wanted to compliment our already impressive line-up of more than 200 rides, shows and attractions with a world class roller coaster that will showcase Wonderland as one of the premier amusement parks in our industry."
Behemoth will be the 15th roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland. Construction is finished and will be open to the public soon. You may take a virtual ride on Behemoth at www.canadaswonderland.com. Visitors to the website may also access exclusive Behemoth updates and features including virtual renderings, ride statistics and other online fun.
Behemoth was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard of Monthey, Switzerland, a recognized industry leader in roller coaster development
