I think this coaster will be great and I'll be lookin forward to riding it next year! I was wanting a little more themeing but what's the most you can do with a hyper coaster like that. I saw the pictures posted over at Screamscape and I like what I see. The only thing that I kinda frown about is how IMO the coaster being so close to the Crypt. It sort of takes away from the look of it and having that last helix in front of it doesn't make it better lol. Other than that I'm pumped to ride it! | ||

This looks totally awesome. The only B&M Hyper i've been on is Raging Bull and it is one of my favorites! Has anyone ridden the new longer and staggered B&M trains? I think Behemoth is the only one with the new style trains, and i've heard nothing bad about them. Hopefully the economy won't drag them down... | ||

It sounds like these new trains are going to be the standard for B&M Hypers now... and it's the same on my side, I've heard nothing but positive reactions for Behemoth. | ||

The testing footage is now on youtube. They're using the water filled test dummies right now. Here's the link to one of the videos:

Man, you're right. It is really loud. I expected it to be really quite since it is near so many other attractions. I guess they want people to know when the train is going around so they are attracted to it. It will be interesting to see if it stays that loud after a few years. | ||

Sound like coaster music to me. Can't wait to hear it in person. | ||

My thoughts too  It sounds like a coaster that demands respect. It's a monster, and it knows it. I also love how little the MCBR slows the train. Let's hope they don't make it brake harder in the future.

^Me to! But don't forget, it might not be on just because it's cold outside which may slow the train down. Don't want it to valley on the first test run! | ||

We have POV! Diamondback is just cruising through the ride. I can't wait to ride sometime this summer!
