The Behemoth

Saturday was my works Family Picnic Day at Wonderland. It only cost me $10 to get two tickets to Wonderland and they included lunch. Caitlin and I left early from her house to get to the park at a decent time. Once we arrived we rode Top Gun Flight Deck first. Apparently since the last time I was there they have dropped the Paramount license so now they had to rename anything that was named after a Paramount movie. Totally lame.

The second ride we went on was Psyclone which is still one of the best rides there. While waiting in line we spotted my sister and her friend Megan in line for the Behemoth. The line was ridiculously long but we had to try it so after Psyclone we went and got in line for the Behemoth. The line probably took about an hour for us to get through, which isn't too bad. Also there was vending machines right in the line in case we wanted a $5.00 bottle of vitamin water. (We decided we could wait)

The ride itself has very cool seating. There are three trains and each one has eight cars. The cars themselves have 4 seats that are setup so that everyone gets a good view. This is done by having the two front seats together in the middle and the two back seats apart on either side. The restraint is simply a lap bar that pushes you down into your seat. It is rather comfortable.

The ride begins with a huge hill that goes down at 75 degress. It feels like straight down and is absolutely excellent. After that are several hills that you hit at a good enough speed to feel completely weightless at the top. Its so pimp. If you haven't ridden it then you absolutely must.
