The story of Leviathan
Canada's Wonderland opened Leviathan in 2012, adding a steel Giga Coaster from Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard to the park's collection of great rides. bolliger-mabillard.com· sixflags.com
The construction called for careful work within an established park, with the new track threaded around existing buildings, foundations and underground utilities. canada.constructconnect.com
Steel track and columns were paired with concrete footings, while the track and columns were made in the United States and the design, trains and many mechanical parts came from Switzerland. canada.constructconnect.com
From its opening season onward, Leviathan received recognition in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, marking it as a notable new arrival on the Canadian coaster scene. kids.kiddle.co
