The Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland



On Aug. 15th 2008 I’ve finally got to ride The Behemoth at Cedar Fair’s Canada’s Wonderland.

On my way to the top, I serious had second thoughts about going through with the ride, but it way too late. We were arriving at the peak way faster than I expected. Now it’s important for all of you to know that the BEHEMOTH is NOT a rollercoaster but a HYPERCOASTER.

A hypercoaster can mean one of two things;

1. A “style/model” of roller coaster that incorporates three features:
– An initial drop and/or
lift hill of 200–299 feet
– Lacks any
inverting elements
– Features a lift hill, not a
launch

2. A height classification of roller coasters that incorporates only one of the above features, a lift hill/drop of 200–299 feet. Because of the more common usage of the term “Hypercoaster” for a style of coaster, the term “
Megacoaster” is more appropriate for height classification.

Get Return Refunds From PlayStation Store For PS4 & PS5 Games

Demos for games are rare nowadays, so once in a while you'll purchase a game from the PlayStation Organization and it's an all out stinker. Of course, you could continue to play it and trust it improves. Or on the other hand you could give a discount solicitation to the PlayStation Store, get your cash back, and purchase a game you really appreciate.

Getting a handle on PlayStation's Discount Strategy From the start, PlayStation's discount strategy appears to be liberal. A fourteen day time frame from the date of procurement to return a computerized game is a ton. Be that as it may, there's a significant catch.
