Ok folks,'let's get to work. I can't wait to see pictures and drawings of possible locations for this monster.

[Chris]

B&M or Intamin? Will they pull a 'Canada's Wonderland' and give us two B&Ms? Or do we get a Millennium Force style Intamin, despite Intamin's recent troubles?

[Jwrickner]

Hopefully something different, maybe i305 style. I don't see the point of something that is almost exactly like intimidator but taller.

[swampfox43]

I feel certain, the 300 ft coaster will be on the NC side, what with the recent NC incentives. My guess would be a loading station somewhere in Thrill Zone. An Intamin would be my number 1 choice.

[Jwrickner]

Honestly, I was thinking something like that would be possible when the survey flags started showing up. I was thinking they would replace hurler with the station, and have the roller coaster go around and into the front of the park near the entrance.

They just might, though...

Whatever it is going to be, I'm happy. However, cedar fair
didn't really leave us In that much suspense like they did with intimidator. I believe the construction was
Almost finished with phase 1 before it was announced.

One thing I did hear on the local news that I don't think has been printed yet regarding the expansion incentives, and fairly unsubstantiated, is that roughly 75% of the physical expansion will be on the NC side, so knock yourselves out.

[redrunner97]

I'd love to have a Millennium Force style Intamin, but I305 is far from my ideal choice...

Leviathan > I305 imo.

But a 'Millennium Force' themed similar to "white lightnin" would be awesome!

And is it 300 definitely, or potentially slightly taller, like 301, 305, 306?
300 seems kinda flat. Lol.

[chknwing]

more than likely, this is a Leviathan clone and I am full of disappointment. The same ride as Intimindator just slightly taller. By the way I am pretty sure Cedar Fair will be pissed to know so much information is being leaked.

[Edwardo]

Tallest, fastest coaster in the southeast. I'm calling it right now, there's your record .

If it is a B&M Giga, why would it be a clone? They didn't clone any hypers or gig as so far...

[Jonathan]

Wowwwwww. Cedar Fair is really serious about this hyper and a giga in a same park thing hah.

Guess I'll try to get my Canada's Wonderland trip report up in a couple days.

There's no way it will be a Leviathan clone. That ride is really designed to fit into a precise space. You can't really clone a hyper in the same way that you can a more compact ride like Batman.

How does Leviathan feel compared to B&M hypers? It doesn't seem like it would feel much different... maybe a little faster.

I'm glad it's not a wing coaster. Wild Eagle was not very impressive.

I thought it was different enough. The two complemented each other well as far as I was concerned and Behemoth and Leviathan are probably both in my top 5 steel. My major issue with Leviathan is that it is too short. The opening sequence of events though is probably the most masterfully engineered thing I've ever experienced on any roller coaster. The first drop is absolutely insane and then there's this weird low to the ground stretched out curving hill that you take at like 70 MPH while just floating out of your seat the entire way over. It's a lot more uncontrolled feeling than any other B&M hyper.

No one ever questions it when a park has multiple woodies. Hell Holiday World has built three woodies from essentially the same company.

Ditto. This is the most exciting news possible as far as I'm concerned.
