Behemoth, Steel hypercoaster at Canada's Wonderland, Ontario, Canada
Behemoth is a steel roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Ontario, built in the hypercoaster style with widely spaced hills and steep drops. The track sweeps through a tall arc over several crests, then into a tight turnaround and finally two spiral curves close to the ground.
The roller coaster opened in May 2008 and held the title of tallest and fastest of its kind in Canada at the time. That status lasted until 2012, when a new installation opened at the same park.
The steel roller coaster marked a milestone in Canadian entertainment as it held the national record for height and speed until 2012.
Seats are arranged in a staggered V-shape so that no rider sits directly behind another. Anyone carrying bags or loose items before boarding should use the storage lockers near the entrance.
The staggered seating layout was later adopted by other roller coasters of the same design type. Riders face forward throughout the entire journey without any heads blocking the view.
