  • Behemoth


    The name Behemoth invokes an image of a massive and powerful mythical beast. That is exactly what Behemoth (the roller coaster) does. At a height of 230 feet, Behemoth is over double the height of any other roller coaster in the park and literally dwarfs Backlot Stunt Coaster as it passes overhead.

    Riders will experience an extreme amount of airtime on the coasters 8 hills and will enjoy the beautiful setting along the edge of the lake. The trains will be the first of their kind on a coaster, as the second row of seats is separated and located further out than first row, allowing all riders to enjoy the open air feeling and an unobstructed view of their surroundings.
