Tips for Behemoth

Sprint to Behemoth at gate drop. It's about an 8-minute walk from International Street through the bridge into Action Zone. The 10-minute median at 10 AM is the biggest single-ride window in the park.
From Behemoth's exit, walk five minutes to Frontier Canada for Yukon Striker (15 min at this point), then a few steps further for Mighty Canadian Minebuster (5 min). Three majors banked in 90 minutes.
Avoid the 3-5 PM window. The afternoon peak is the steadiest 40-45-min wall in the data.
9-10 PM is the second great window. The evening collapse is reliable: 28 at 9 PM, 15 at 10 PM. Cooler air means a slightly faster ride too.
Aim for the back row if you can. The fifth camelback hill ejects hardest from the back, the hammerhead turnaround over Swan Lake feels closer to the water.
