Chantelle ^.^ Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 I have not been on this nor have I been to the theme park, but when I go back to Canada for holiday, I am for sure going to this theme park! :)Behemoth is a fairly new rollercoaster at Canada's wonderland, plus the longest and largest rollerocaster ever in all of Canada. I've looked at some of the POVs on youtube and the ride looks really insane! Have a look for yourself: Quote
themeparkmad Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 That seems like an amazing ride!Thanks for the video link Chantelle! :PI have never been on a Hyper / Mega / Giga coaster before, so I would like to change that.I don't know why I would go to Canada, but this would be my first stop! :PI have one question though that has always bugged me...What is on the track on 1:03? And what are they used for?If anyone can answer that, I would be VERY greatful!Thanks. Quote
Paul Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Wow, that really does look incredible! That's definitely been added to my list of must do roller coasters. Quote
Chantelle ^.^ Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Posted August 19, 2009 You guys should see what the seats and restraints/lap bars look like and I never expected them to look so lets say weird?If you want to see what the seats look like go to the website www.canadaswonderland.com they will show you the design and that of Behemoth, all you have to do is click on thrill rides and then Behemoth Quote
rossafc Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 I have one question though that has always bugged me...What is on the track on 1:03? And what are they used for?If anyone can answer that, I would be VERY greatful!Thanks. I will have to ride that at some point!It looks like a very small brake segment, with stairs.But I'm not sure.

TP-Daniel Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 What is on the track on 1:03? And what are they used for?If anyone can answer that, I would be VERY greatful!Thanks. It's a trim brake to adjust the train's speed for a safety reason such as to lower the negative g-force that the airtime hill would produce. Quote
themeparkmad Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Thank you so much for telling me what it is! Quote
James6 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Usually trim brake's are used to reduce the train's speed to reduce wear and tear, so can be for maintenance reasons aswell. Quote
A-Kid Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah and also on the Beemers they tend to want to achive the perfect floater air over the hills and they can alter the speed with trims. Inferno has one on the pre-lift section for example. But thats used to make the train get on the lift at the same speed as the chain, aswell as the chain altering its speed to match the train. Very clever these B&Ms! Quote
James6 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Air at Alton Towers also has a few dotted around it's layout, there disconnected of course as it's not like it goes too fast is it. Air's 2nd unused trim BrakeYou can just about see it behind the support.Credit to Alton Towers Almanac Quote
Chantelle ^.^ Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Posted August 21, 2009 There are a lot of clever people on this forum and I never knew any of this stuff about whats on the rollercoasters and that, but thank for sharing :)By the way James is this a rollercoaster you would really want to go on? lol Quote
