What you'll learn

Key ideas in Canada's Wonderland: The New Thrills

  • Airtime is the sensation of weightlessness or lifting out of the seat
  • Giga coasters are defined by a height between 300 and 399 feet
  • Leviathan and Behemoth are designed with parabolic hills specifically to create airtime
  • Leviathan is the only Giga coaster at Canada's Wonderland
  • These coasters rely on height and speed rather than loops to provide thrills
  • Leviathan focuses on speed and massive turns rather than inversions (loops)
  • The sensory experience that defines the Leviathan and Behemoth ride profiles
  • The defining characteristic of a Giga coaster like Leviathan
  • Yukon Striker uses a holding brake to pause the train
  • The pause occurs exactly as riders are looking straight down a 90-degree cliff
  • This 'dive' mechanic is designed for psychological impact before the release
  • Behemoth and Leviathan use clamshell restraints to maximize the feeling of airtime
  • Clamshells allow for more upper-body movement than traditional harnesses
  • Magnetic brakes provide a smooth, consistent deceleration without a 'jerking' feeling
  • The specific ride mechanic of the Yukon Striker
  • Magnets don't touch the train, meaning they don't wear out like brake pads
