One of only four giga coasters (full-circuit coasters between 300 and
399 feet in height) in existence as of 2014, Leviathan is the tallest coaster
manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard and a sight to behold. Seating four across in eight rows, the train
makes a right turn from the loading station before ascending a 306-foot chain
lift hill. The chain lift is impressively
fast. Once at the top, the train drops a
precipitous 306 feet at an 80-degree angle into a tunnel, and what a drop! It was breathtaking. The initial drop is followed by an overbanked
right turn and second drop (location of the on-ride camera), after which the
train turns sharply left. The left turn
comes as a complete surprise and provides some good ejector airtime. Another drop and the train shoots up into a
camelback. At one point it crosses the
track. There is no brake run until the
conclusion of the ride, as the train is returning to the station. With multiple
airtime hills (lots of floater airtime) hammerhead turn and maximum speed of 92
mph, the ride is first class from start to finish. Leviathan is smooth, fast, furious and fun. 5
out of 5 stars. For more information
