The other 2 trains were empty. No water dummies visible in the maintenance bays. It appears as though there are currently only enough water dummies for one train (there could be more elsewhere on site).

Only the single test run was conducted on Thursday evening. I stopped by the park for a while yesterday afternoon but no tests. Not sure if they'll be doing work over the weekends. Today is cool and damp, so definitely not ideal conditions. I'm hoping to get some better footage soon to share with everyone!

Just found out from a CWMania member that Leviathan was testing about an hour ago. So I guess they're going all weekend long!

This video from a user on CWMania "Umeris" really shows how fast this coaster is! A MUST WATCH!

WHOA! :lover: That was flying through the first turn and speed hill. And it's SO LOUD. I love it. Also, I really hope that the World's Tallest Brake Run is handled the way it is in that first run, AKA the horizontal portion not slowing the train down at all. I think that might even add an extra thrill to the ride, as the uninformed might think "Oh God why isn't it stopping yet???" :devil:

I can't believe you can hear that roar on camera from all the way across the parking lot!
Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't wanna live there.

Ya it was definitely testing yesterday. I would expect it to continue now, weather permitting of course.

This ride looks amazing and the speed is incredible.

Excitement! It looks incredibly fast, and those turns all look so exhilarating.

I just died a little inside, knowing I won't get to ride this this year.
