Re: Leviathan - B&M giga coaster for Canada's Wonderland
^Again, you're making it sound like the rides are competing against each other. CW doesn't give a flying duck about what the customers are riding as soon as they are within the gates. Remember where the money exhanges hands.
I've said it before, and I say it again: Neither coaster is a separate entity that pulls in its own money. To put it simply, it's the sum of all the (percieved) fun in the park that brings in customers. All Leviathan does is raising that sum significantly, giving more people a reason to go to the park. Once inside, the money is spent and CW is happy.
Besides, why will nobody ride Behemoth, again? Last time I checked, it was the second tallest coaster in the country, among the dozen tallest in the world, and definitely a thrilling ride. I think most people would like to try both, as they are both paid for when they enter the park. I bet marketing will also focus a lot on "the two titans" or something, not "forget that other tall coaster we have, now we built a bigger one and the other sucks in comparison".
