I dare say around it.

Okay I admit this is a tarheel-level of terribleness, but I chopped Leviathan off Google Maps and pasted it on Carowinds...

Oh! It lines up pretty good, I hope not but it is starting to look like a near clone.

[pproteinc]

I'd be pissed off if we get a clone or any similarity of Leviathan just slightly lol....off topic, have anyone seen or heard anything about bring a friend days?

[chknwing]

Heres my attempt

[Matt929]

As much as I'd love a roller coaster like that I'd rather have something more unique.

CF don't do exact clones of their signature rides. It devalues all of them when you do that. Dominion will likely get something similar to Banshee, but it won't be a copy.

Also, I believe Leviathan doesn't contain a figure 8 turnaround.

Leviathan looks incredibly underwhelming to me. I sincerely hope we don't get a clone of it.

It just looks short, the ending seems uneventful, turnaround looks meh too. And there doesn't seem to be a lot of big camelback airtime hills, or turns. Both of which I would welcome with open arms to Carowinds. But a Levithan clone? Eww.

KD won't be getting anything similar to Banshee built by B&M...

If you like speed, Leviathan is for you, if you like airtime, Levi ain't the best for you. My homepark is Wonderland so I can tell you first hand, the only times you get good airtime is if you are in the first row of the train. If your in the first row, for almost the entire first drop you aren't in your seat. As well as the two airtime hills (they are never really trimmed that much). Also, after the final turn, the last dip before the brake run packs a surprising amount of G's on you (I believe it is 4G's) given that its the end of the ride. Overall, I find it a pretty good ride.

You guys also have to keep in mind that though the "main layout" portions are looking the same as Leviathan, the brake run is as high as it is because the park had to get over the Dragon Fire (Arrow Looper) so with Carowinds, anything can happen with that portion.

Well, all screen drawings are very familiar. Good job guys. Kind of matches what I came up with.

If we end up with a cloneish Leviathan it will still be great for those who don't travel to other parks like the rest of us.

I read somewhere that it was stated as being a "destination" ride. To me that means enthusiasts from all around will travel here just to ride it because it would offer something other parks don't. And I mean something unique not just something a little more. A little Taller, A little Faster, A Little Longer and more Inversions just don't make it a destination ride in my opinion. So I am expecting a little more than Leviathan on all accounts.

[goldsteh]

I agree with Mark D. The term "destination" ride has been used. That is why I say something more unique than just a Giga coaster. BTW....nothing wrong with a Giga coaster. I'm still leaning towards my Launch Intamin.

[redrunner97]

Based on everything we know, I think its safe to say it will be a B&M Giga.

That doesn't quite mean a Leviathan "clone", but I'm damn near certain B&M is the manufacturer.

Why don't you think so? The park is in need of a good, world class invert, which is the most popular coaster design on the planet, which basically every park has.
