Since the beginning of Canada's Wonderland's 2008 season I have been dreaming of riding the BEHEMOTH one of the biggest roller coasters in North America and definately the biggest in Canada. I am sure Ali and Chris have had enough of my constant rambling about how I NEEEEEEDDDDDDDD to ride it!!
Well, this past weekend I was finally given the opportunity...
This is what it looks like from the parking lot, it pretty much Dwarfs any other ride at Canada's Wonderland.
That initial climb is 230ft at the top then you proceed to plummet at 125km/h plus while the whole time feeling like you are going to fall right out of your seat... before I get into more ride details check the line up!!! ! span style="font-size:0;">
At this point we have been in line for about 25-30 mins... only another 20 mins to go until we are sitting in the car ready to conquer BEHEMOTH!!!
After almost one hour in line we took our spots in the third car from the front and off we went...straight up 230ft (My highest Bungy Jump...200ft) then an INTENSE drop at 125 km/h then another climb and drop then another climb... you get the idea.
With every drop you lift right out of the seat to the point where you feel you are going to come out of the roller coaster, your stomach is in your throat, then your ankles, then your throat, then your...again I'm sure you get the idea.
After a ride that lasts just over three minutes, this is what you look like...
There are really no words to describe the way it makes you feel while waiting in line, on the ride or the way you feel once its all over.
But I will leave you with two quotes, one from a lover of all things terrifying...
"This was the most amazing ride I have ever been on in my entire life!!!"
and the other terrified of heights but still willing to conquer behemoth...
"There was absolutely not one part of that ride that was fun!!"
You have to ride it to decide for yourself.
Thanks EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
