February 21, 201016 yr Ok I dont think anyone has posted this yet but Ive been looking at Carowinds new Intimadator compared to Diamondback and Behemoth and I was wondering if I was the only one to see the similarities
February 21, 201016 yr Something tells me the company that designed each also noticed! Terpy, who just HAD to
February 21, 201016 yr Author Each are very similar but they all do have there special features. Diamondbacks splashdown, Behemoths ending, and Intimadator's 2nd hill
February 21, 201016 yr Not only are they by the same company, but they are also the same model coaster. It'd be like comparing Vortex at Kings Island to Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. They were both made by Arrow Dynamics in the late 1980s as part of their "Mega-Loopers" model. Same with Diamondback, Behemoth, and Intimidator. All are B&Ms and part of their Mega Coaster model.

February 21, 201016 yr Author yeah well there are alot of similar coasters. Look at Sheikra and Griffon. They look sort of similar right?
February 21, 201016 yr Oh, no...here we go again. I am floored....as was one of those two, once upon a time...
February 21, 201016 yr These are also the only three B&M Mega Coasters with the V shape trains. Although Behemoth has the prototype trains.
February 21, 201016 yr Author thats awesome. I still have to ride one or the other. Next year I might get to ride Sheikra
February 22, 201016 yr ^^ I've only ridden it without. Do the lack of a floor make that big of an effect on how it rides?
February 22, 201016 yr On how it rides? Not at all. On the effects on the rider, who can see the track? Yes, especially in the front seats... Else, why do Timberliners have the fronts they do?
