Photo TR: Behemoth Media Day - Canada's Wonderland

[CarnageWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

So today I got to attend Canada's Wonderland's media day for Behemoth. (thanks to Ted for the invite to represent CoasterFanatics).

Got in about 10 rides or so, snapped some pics, and even got a craptacular quality POV. Taken on a digicam, so the quality isn't the best, but hey, you take what you can get.

Overall I really enjoyed the ride. I think Wonderland was long deserved in getting a marquee attraction.

Anyways, on to the pics ...

Thanks for the report and pictures! How do they have the station set up for the unusual seating pattern? Is it one air gate for every 4 sets of seats?

Nice report Paul! The POV was great for a digital camera, you did a good job. The ride looks fun for sure.

[HomerAWESOME-O-SAURUS!!!]

Behemoth looks like a great ride and I concur that it was a deserved ride for Canada's Wonderland. A few questions though;

Were any of the trims on (excluding the midcourse)? How did the trains feel, especially compared to other hypers?

Excellent TR and POV, Paul.

[nomorefloorCan I park my donkey here?]

yeah how were the trims?

Good work, Paul, even if I couldn't resist watching the POV and "spoiling" the experience!

Always interesting to see how the park changes with a new attraction, and this is certainly the biggest facelift the park has received thanks to one in a long time...

For all you lift hill enthusiasts

Paul, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Though it doesn't look like anything mind blowing, it still looks like a pretty solid ride! And I'm warming up to the new train style. It doesn't seem quite as bad as I initially imagined. Well done, man! Thanks for the sweet photos and POV.

Thanks for the report and pictures! How do they have the station set up for the unusual seating pattern? Is it one air gate for every 4 sets of seats?

One air gate for each row. So two rows per car. It's real simple, and not confusing like the Deja Vu setups.

The trims were on very light on the early runs, only in the back seat could I hear it. They were off totally later on.

But most of these runs were with mostly empty trains, so I wouldn't expect the trims to be needed.

I think I might have been the only one on the train when the POV was taken. At most a handful of other people were riding at that time, spread between the two trains running.

Wow! Actually, it looks much better than I expected. I am really looking forward to it obviously since I'm going on the Behemoth trip in August, but the POV and photos have really made increased my anticipation. The trains actually look very sharp and not bad at all. The MCBR was interesting on the left side has no platform. Thanks again for the photos and video. Now if only August could hurry up and get here!

Thanks for the nice photos and video. Love the special photo for us wheel/mecanincal enthusiasts.
Looks like I am going to have to make plans for Bohemath BAsh with TPR to get some rides on this one as it looks like a fun ride.
