Leviathan ascends 306' (93.3M) into the air and stretches 5,486' (1,672M) across Canada's Wonderland.  After an 80 degree drop on the first hill, riders will reach a speed of 148km/h before a 164 degree barrel roll hurdles you towards our front gate.  Leviathan Day is your chance to meet the minds and understand the physics behind this creation!

Our first seminar at 11am will be geared towards secondary students and a second seminar at 1pm will entertain elementary school students.  Space in each Leviathan Day seminar is limited and schools are encouraged to register prior to May 11th, 2012!
