The ride opens in May of next year and will have a record breaking climb up it's first hill of 306 feet. This is followed by a 80 degree drop. The ride will be 5,486 feet long and will include giant camelback hills reaching 180 feet, along with a hammerhead turn at 115 degrees that crosses above the front gate of the park. Speed freaks will also be satisfied as the coaster reaches a top speed of 148 kph or 92 mph.

"Leviathan will be our 16th coaster and now positions Canada's Wonderland as one of the top three coaster destinations in the world." said Raffi Kaprelyan, Vice President and General Manager, Canada's Wonderland.
