Leviathan (roller coaster)

... that the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Canada will be Leviathan when it opens at Canada's Wonderland in 2012?

If I may comment, before anyone reviews it: perhaps the hook should focus on its place within the larger pantheon of coasters? Perhaps:

... that the Leviathan, set to open in 2012 at Canada's Wonderland, will be the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Canada, and seventh tallest worldwide? -- Zanimum (talk) 23:42, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Its definitive claim to fame is that it is tallest and fastest in Canada. Yes it will be the 7th tallest but why not mention that it will be the 10th fastest in the world? I left both worldwide rankings out because I found it hard to write a comprehensible sentence with all of those statistics. If anyone can come up with a hook with all of that in it, I'd probably be supportive of it. Themeparkgc Talk 23:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

If anyone's waiting to review this, note that I've been in favour of themeparkgc's hook since the 18th. -- Zanimum (talk) 13:34, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
