Behemoth (roller coaster)

With its high speeds, tall heights and rapid changes in both direction and elevation, Behemoth is one of the most aggressive thrill rides in the park.

[3] The ride features a prototype seating arrangement to ensure an unobstructed view for every rider – a first for a roller coaster of this type.

The ride lasts for approximately three minutes and subjects the rider to a maximum speed of 124 km/h (77 mph), achieved in less than 3.9 seconds.

This rating specifies that the ride will have "high speeds and/or heights, aggressive and unexpected forces and rapid directional or elevation change.

[2][7] Behemoth has a high throughput and accommodates approximately 1,545 passengers an hour, making it one of the most efficient roller coasters in the park.

[3] Behemoth's three open-air steel and fibreglass trains feature a prototype v-shaped staggered seating arrangement to ensure an unobstructed view for every rider.

[3][12] This prototype design is a first for Bolliger & Mabillard roller coasters which was later reproduced for Diamondback at Kings Island, Intimidator at Carowinds and Shambhala: Expedición al Himalaya at PortAventura Park.

The Behemoth experience lasts for approximately three minutes and subjects the rider to a maximum speed of 124 km/h (77 mph) achieved in less than 3.9 seconds followed by five air-time hills, a hammerhead turn and two helixes.

[4] Behemoth is one of the most popular attractions at Canada's Wonderland and it has enjoyed a great deal of success since its establishment.

[9] The ride appeals to a wide demographic with park staff noting that both young children and senior citizens line up for the attraction.

[7] With the addition of Behemoth, we wanted to complement 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.
