Leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland is Canada’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, and one of the few giga coasters on Earth.

Opened in 2012, it was Bolliger & Mabillard’s first giga coaster – 306 feet tall with an 80-degree first drop that rockets the train to 92 mph.

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.
