WONDERLAND'S BIGGEST INVESTMENT IN HISTORY
Vaughan, Ontario, 2007 - Canada's Wonderland prepares to change the landscape for thrill seekers in 2008, with the addition of Canada's Biggest, Fastest and Tallest roller coaster - Behemoth. Following 18 months of planning and construction, Behemoth will premiere at Canada’s Wonderland in May 2008.
At over 5,300 feet (1,616m) in length, Behemoth sets the stage for thrills with a climb to a height of 230 feet (70.1m), followed by an adrenaline pumping 85 degree drop with speeds reaching 125 kilometers per hour in 3.9 seconds. The coaster will then take riders through the ultimate coaster experience with high speed twists and turns, including double banked flat loops (horizontal loops) and eight extreme drops. Intensifying the action packed adventure, the ride will feature prototype open-air seating that will allow all riders to experience an unobstructed view of all the thrills and excitement on one of North America's best coasters.
"Behemoth will be the biggest investment in Canada's Wonderland's 27 year history at approximately $26 million dollars," said Raffi Kaprelyan, Vice President and General Manager, Canada’s Wonderland. "With the addition of Behemoth, we wanted to compliment our already impressive line-up of more than 200 rides, shows and attractions with a world class roller coaster that will showcase Wonderland as one of the premier amusement parks in our industry."
Behemoth will be the 15th roller coaster at Canada’s Wonderland. Construction is currently underway, but those who cannot wait until spring may take a virtual ride on Behemoth at canadaswonderland.com. Visitors to canadaswonderland.com may also access exclusive Behemoth updates and features, like virtual renderings, ride statistics and online fun.
Behemoth was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard of Monthey, Switzerland, a recognized industry leader in roller coaster development.
Canada's Wonderland is owned and operated by Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, a publicly traded partnership that is listed for trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "FUN." In addition to Canada's Wonderland, Cedar Fair owns and operates eleven other amusement parks, five water parks, one indoor water park resort, and six hotels. Cedar Fair also owns and operates Star Trek: The Experience, an interactive adventure located in Las Vegas, and operates the Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park in Gilroy, California under a management contract.

Are you for real? Top Gun sucks assballs. Vortex is where it's at. And though it's not a coaster, the ride that makes me my pants the most is the Psyclone.
I for one, am stoked for this new coaster!!!! THREE minutes long?? This ride isn't ing around.
And check out the seats!! Only a lap brace??? That'll add to the holy-crapness of it for sure.
OMGOMGOMG *pees pants*
edit: The first drop is the same height as Drop Zone!

it's nice to see CedarFair finally doing something right to the park which Paramount hadn't been able to do for years..
Wonderland is WAY past due when it comes to coasters.. most major theme parks across North America completely destroy what Wonderland has to offer in terms of thrill rides. The park has not made a major investment in a mid-sized coaster since Top Gun which was eons ago. This is the first time that Wonderland will be breaking the 200 ft threshold for a coaster which is something now commonplace at most theme parks around the world.
Just to give a comparison, CedarFair's flagship park Cedarpoint in Sandusky, Ohio features the following:

heh that's funny cuz Mind Eraser, Boomerang, and Shockwave at Darien Lake are clones of Top Gun, The Bat, and Sky Rider respectively..
i don't think they've built anything new there since i last went which was like 2002.. Six Flags even sold the park so i doubt there's gonna be anything new anytime soon there either
