Well if you look on the website ride statistics, it says "Approx." So maybe it'll change to 311 and 95 mph. :lmao:

Considering they are already paying 28 million dollars for this, I can understand why it is the final brake run.

If you listen real close to the videos, you can hear the bitching about the rattle several years from now.

Why Cedar Fair, they should have had Leviathan really twisty to contrast Behemoth's airtime. Given it's has twistyness, but they should have made it epic like i305.

Well, Congratulations to B&M first Giga Coaster. :b :br

What da fudge is that?
AWSOME!

This is for sure the ride of 2012!
Just a bit jealous that the same park has two of the worlds best hypers!
Nr 1 Liseberg and Gröna Lund fanboy!
Piraten is *the* roller coaster (after finally riding Expedition Geforce, I'll admit, it was pretty freaking awesome to!) .

If this was made for another park, such as Knott's, where would you put it? It seems to fit pretty well where it is.

Exactly, where the overbanked hamerhead is placed, on the "island" with the trees...makes it seem too me also that it was meant too go here and not another park.

While this may not be extreme, it is a damn impressive rude that will be fast smooth and floaty!

I'm also impressed by the fact that b&m have been going outside of their comfort zone. First the wingwallets, now this!

The first drop gets very steep very quickly. I can see now why they went with short-ish trains.

Intamin's probably having a party right now like when NASA completes a mission. Records kept for now!

I wonder how much B&M pushed for 311 feet.

CW: "We want a 306 foot coaster."
B&M: "Ok you want a 311 foot coaster."
CW:: "No 306."
B&M: "You sure you don't want 311? I think you should make it 311."
:lmao:
