I was going to post the same thing. Noticed it this morning driving north on 77 into Charlotte. You could just see it peaking above the trees.

If anyone is driving south in I-77, could you please take a picture? I'd like to compare it to the one I edited a few pages ago.

EDIT:
Yes, as mentioned below. PLEASE DON"T take a picture while driving. I failed to mention that. :oops:

First we had the LA Times article "Carowinds' Fury 325 joins an elite club of world's tallest coasters" six days ago which was then covered by dozens of other websites... now we have the following "Buzz 60" video making numerous rounds (like USA Today) :lol:

"New roller coaster makes me scream for mommy"
http://www.wesh.com/video/buzz60/new-ro ... y/29502290

some of the audio... "think you can handle it? because I can't!" "The Carowinds Amusement Park on the North\South Carolina border has plans to scare the bejesus out of thrill seekers..." "Fury 325 lasts 3 minutes and 25 seconds... I could make up a lot of swears in that time..."

Love seeing the photo taken from the start of the lift looking up. The white catwalks actually make the coaster appear to just fade right into the sky, which I'm sure will make the coaster look even taller than it is. Brilliant design IMO.

Hi guys I have been watching this site for a about a year now and decided I would join because of the love I have towards rollercoasters and Carowinds but am I just crazy or did they add another section to the lift hill?

Our little park has never gotten this kind of publicity.
