The Ride Experience
Leviathan climbs 306 feet, then drops at 80 degrees straight to 92 mph. The B&M giga layout favors sustained speed and sweeping high-G turns over airtime, hammering riders with positive forces through giant hills and a long, fast return.
A Giga First for B&M
Before Leviathan, Bolliger & Mabillard had never built a coaster over 300 feet. Leviathan launched their giga era and gave Canada its signature thrill machine, towering over the Vaughan skyline.
