Very interesting info.

We squeezed in a visit to CW on May 21 during our Usa trip.

^^ Indeed, if Behemoth wouldn't have been there, we wouldn't even have considered making the sidetrip to CW.

A great construction tour was given to the guys at cwmania with LOTS of great photos. Check out 300 photos and a video of this coaster here:

I look at these pictures and all I can think of is that the Aussie parks need to get some longer rides.

If the rumors are true, it might be soon.....I can hope can't I?

^I look at those pics and wish the UK had more rides like that! Or at least some good rides closer to me. Or cheaper fuel. I'll accept any of the above Taiko Wink

Behemoth is looking great, I'll probably never ride it but I really like the colour scheme, and I love the look of the helix and turnaround.

I'd love to ride it with all the snow everywhere like has at the moment, it looks superb, (but then again, i've never seen snow before, so my judgement may be a bit off).

^^What Rumors???? Please let there be rumors.

Looks like it going to be a good ride. Its just to bad it wont be an 85degree first drop.
I'm looking forward to seeing it up and running.

Looks to me like it's panning out to be another great B&M hyper Taiko Bounce

I don't know. From where I'm sitting, that drop looks to be at least 76.2 degrees. That's just me though.

Anyway, nice pics. Maplehawk looks great! Taiko Tounge Red

This is looking pretty sweet. That turnaround looks crazy. How long are the trains again? Will the length of the trains give the turnaround a different affect if it is long or short? Or does that even matter?
