I agree!! Leviathan was GREAT during the ERT session but Behemoth still beat it out! While I loved the first part of Leviathon, it just lacked at the end. It was still an amazing ride more so in the front for me.

Canada's Wonderland was the highlight park of the LeviaTHON Tour for me. The park was beautiful and where it lacks in coasters (some very rough!!!), it was the overall look of the park and the fact that they have a large amount of flats that I loved.

The SLC has to be one of the roughest SLC's I've been on and I can see why Rob and Elissa gave us a Time Warp Survival Kit!

^hahah those survival kits are classic! I'm not sure if it's where we sat or the weather but Flight Deck caught me off guard in that it was running much smoother than usual ;)

Agreed with everyone on Leviathan. The drop, first turn, and next 2 hills (speed hill and big hill) were excellent, but then the ride just kinda stopped for me. After those 4 elements it just glided around. I do think the first drop might be the best in the world though because it just keeps on getting steeper and steeper and since it's slower you can enjoy the actual drop more than I305, MF, Skyrush, El Toro, etc. Overall I much preferred Behemoth though, holy airtime! The front row at 10:45 pm was amazing.

I really liked the park as well. All of the areas were very nice! The staff was mostly extremely friendly and the operations were great...as we were able to get all 16 coasters before lunch (thanks KT!). Definitely would love to return some day.

^Get Fast Lane.

Seriously, during the summer, the only way to guarantee you get on all the rides is by buying it because the lines get pretty long. It is so worth it. Leviathan and Behemoth's lines are typical around an hour, so chances are, you'd only be able to get in about 1 or 2 rides each without Fast Lane. Leviathan is usually the busiest in the morning, because people tend to go there as soon as they get in.

Personally, my favourite seat on Behemoth is the back, because you get awesome airtime on the first drop, but it does get a little rattly. Still, it's my favourite ride in the park and the airtime is heavenly. On Leviathan you either need to get the front or back, as the most airtime is found in these seats. The ride ops will assign you seats on Leviathan, but if you ask, you will almost always get the seat you want. :)

As for food, it's pretty meh, but you should definitely try a funnel cake, they're one of the best things in the park. For a large meal, you can try the International Marketplace Buffet, just inside Medieval Faire. The food is better than the rest of the park (though still pretty meh), it's usually pretty quiet in there. It's about 20 dollars for the buffet, I think.

The flat ride selection here is pretty good! Make sure you try Riptide (you will get soaked), Shockwave, Nightmares, Drop Tower, and Sledge Hammer (It`s pretty dull, but it`s unique!).
Finally, be warned of Time Warp, Flight Deck and Wilde Beast. Your brain may be turned to goo after riding these. ;)

The park is really nice, and is probably the most beautiful of the Cedar Fair parks. The roller coasters for the most part may be mediocre, but Behemoth and Leviathan should make up for that! Hope you have fun! :)

I actually thoroughly enjoyed leviathan, got a front seat ride first thing in the morning. Still, Behemoth is a hell of a lot better because of that air. I would go back to Wonderland for Behemoth (and Vortex alone).
