On August 27, 2007 Behemoth was announced and revealed to be a roller coaster from Swiss manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard.

Each of the three trains comprise eight cars, seating four guests each for a total capacity of 32. Riders are restrained by lapbars with no interlocking seatbelts into the fiberglass and steel trains. Behemoth opened to season pass holders on April 25, 2008 and to the general public on May 4, 2008. Ride Experience Coming soon.
