I made the unfinished ending in photoshop. This would have made the ride one of the best coasters in the world in my opinion if it had this and a little more speed in the first half.

Ha! cool idea. However there are buildings and such where this addition is... If it was going to bigger it would have spilled into the go karts. I believe that is why it is the size it is. If you are wondering the go karts are to the left of the first drop.

Just a concept idea that I made in a few minutes. If they had actually done it they would have engineered it to fit.

Get rid of the midcourse brake.

I thought it should be longer before as well.. But I don't think a couple bunny hops would work on this ride. All the elements are so massive. They would just seem out of place.

AV Matt · « **Reply #230 on:** May 01, 2012, 09:25:39 PM »

Nonsense. Bunny hops are always a good thing! At that point in the ride, the scale of things has already changed, so they would fit right in.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #231 on:** May 02, 2012, 07:25:48 PM »

Levi's too big.. they would have to be 100 foot bunny hops.

Just rode Leviathan today after waiting nearly 2 hrs. (firework day)

From the first time I rode till today it's a totally different ride. Absolutly flying tonight. Significantly better than Millenium Force. Even those good rides on mille late at night on a hot day. Makes Nitro look like a childs toy

The park was sooo busy today. Only went on levi, and Thunder Run. TR was almost an hr wait. Well worth it Matt?

AV Matt · « **Reply #233 on:** May 21, 2012, 01:06:41 AM »

We waited about an hour for TR. it was worth it for the credit. Luckily our re-rides were much shorter waits.

I usually only ride it once a year. But my 6 y/o just started rideing it. Between that and you guys coming up it may be my second most ridin ride this year. Although I think a Vortex, and Behemoth marrathon might squash that.

AV Matt · « **Reply #235 on:** May 21, 2012, 05:25:38 PM »

I want to ride Behemoth next to you so you can explain to me why I should like it.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #236 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:04:37 PM »

I'm pretty sure thats not going to happen. It's like a cat person explaining to a dog guy why cats are better. It's pointless conversation. But the ride will happen, as well as a front seat vortex.

You guys just need to hammer out a date. Sliding to 2013 is a huge fear of mine.

Ogolo · « **Reply #237 on:** May 21, 2012, 07:31:33 PM »

So who is that cat person...and who is the dog person?

Passport will be arriving soon!

dkny6363 · « **Reply #238 on:** June 01, 2012, 10:56:12 AM »

Matts the dog person.. But I really don't want to start that conversation. If you thought the El Toro thing was annoying.....

So I don't know if you guys have Wagjag or Groupon where you are but I found this. I buy Wagjags all the time. They exagerate the value before the discount, and this doesn't include september but its worth a look. Chances are prices will be even better if it is Sept. You're coming.

So i've hidden this thing 9 times now. It has surprised me that the front is the CLEAR cut winner on which end of this you want to ride. You just dont get pulled over the first drop like you do on Behemoth. The benefit of leviathan is there are no bad seats. There are only 2 or 3 rows I would ever ride on behemoth. When they suggest me an empty row I laugh and walk straight to the back.

Anyways back to Leviathan. The first half of the ride (now that it's hot out) is blazing fast. I mean really fast. All the way up untill the big overbank. The ride is still fun after that, but its not out of control like the first half. Wait times have been really good. Usually wait under an hr. Only once did I wait more, and that was on a firework day.

Other notes on wonderland. Sledgehammer has been up and running lately. Don't hold your breath it will be open by the fall though.

Watched the new Cirque show this past friday. VERY good show. Has anyone seen one similar to this? I have heard other parks have had them before. It was just a half hr of great great entertainment for the whole family.

Minebuster still sucks ;(

But, but, but I thought it was going to be the best drop in the business?!?!?

New Texas Giant still rules supreme!

AV Matt · « **Reply #241 on:** July 15, 2012, 09:13:41 PM »

P.S.
1) I am a dog person.

2) Behemoth doesn't do what I expect a great ride to do (nor does Levy from the sound of things).
3) Canada is a really cool guy and I hope we get to share some rides again this season.
4) Vortex is still the best coaster in the park methinks.
5) El Toro is fun.

Looks to be..
ACE Events link and the 2011 Flyer

Considering doing this (or sometime in Sept)
Any hotel recommendations in the CW area?

dkny6363 · « **Reply #243 on:** July 15, 2012, 10:41:28 PM »

The levy drop is still awesome. It just doesn't have that pull over the top probably due to the shorter trains.

Vortex is a great ride, but come on matt.

Not sure about hotels... I know there is a million of them though.

They have no possible chance of doing this.... They are not wooden

Let's give the hyper woodie another shot then

AV Matt · « **Reply #246 on:** July 18, 2012, 12:35:48 PM »

They don't have to be wood to be good. It helps though.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #247 on:** July 18, 2012, 05:41:58 PM »

No they don't have to be wood to be good. They have to be wood to be epic.

Levi, and behemoth are good. On the right day they are great. They are not epic.

Why just hyper Bmac? Lets go strata wood

AV Matt · « **Reply #248 on:** July 18, 2012, 06:41:22 PM »

New Texas Giant is epic (only steel coaster I will say that about).

Both the Wonderlandian B&Ms have sucky endings. No way they can be great to me. But good, sure, just like El Toro.

dkny6363 · « **Reply #249 on:** July 18, 2012, 09:51:16 PM »

did you read my traveling times post?

But el toro doesn't have a sucky ending...Just a sucky middle.
