The story of Behemoth
Behemoth premiered at Canada's Wonderland in 2008, adding a major Bolliger & Mabillard coaster to the park's growing collection of rides. sixflags.com· coasterpedia.net
The out-and-back steel coaster was built beside one of the park's lakes and became Canada's Wonderland's fifteenth roller coaster. Its open-air seating gave passengers an unobstructed view along the course. parkworld-online.com
From the summit, visitors could look across the surrounding country toward downtown Toronto, while the long succession of rises and drops carried the train back through the lakeside grounds. parkworld-online.com
Testing brought a small reminder of the Canadian winter: the water placed in the weighted test dummies froze during the trials. The project itself was reported to have proceeded without difficulty. parkworld-online.com
