No one believes you. Just saying... :wave:

I could care less on who believes me or not! Only god can judge me! I don't even know you and you don't know me, so until you know me, don't judge me! I have never tried to down anyone on this thread so don't try to do it to me, got it! It won't work!

Millennium Force has never been the #1 steel coaster in any poll that actually has meaning, but yes, there should be little doubt that this will be a superior ride to Millennium Force.

It's been over 5 years since I rode MF, and I have not ridden Leviathan or I-305. So who can comment on how Fury 325 appears to compare? Edit: (I see you already say Fury will be superior to MF).

I think this will blow them all out of the water. It looks incredibly fast and smooth, and if it hold true to no trims (which they did say full throttle throughout the entire ride) its going to be amazing! None of the stat sheets say how big the drop actually is but from what it looks its about 315-320ft? I love the ride and I cant wait to ride it.

I just want to say that I was happy to meet everyone and I was and still am so humbled to represent Carowinds Connections/ACE. I'm so overwhelmed I dont know what to do with myself lol. That banner is awesome Jonathan, it almost makes me forget about little Timmy. :? Ok I'm ready for media day is it March yet?

Already planning your trip south for next year?

Don't visit TPR, it'll give you diabetes...

I like the design of the trains. But they look so cramped.
I can see it now, throwing my hands up in the air only to smack a stranger in the face,

Seriously though, who's ridden Leviathan, and how much room is there?

Planning to be there opening day!

The trains are the same as Leviathan, Apollo's Chariot, Raging Bull, Nitro, Silver Star, etc. They are fine.

I just got online after a LONG day of driving. I also just finished editing the video I got of the announcement. I was also given a media kit, so, with permission from the park,. I edited this video and added the media kit info and video and will soon upload to YouTube. Even though most of the world probably already knows.
It was great to meet you guys, even if it was only for 20 minutes or so. Did coasterbruh ever show up?

Wow. Hard to believe our local park has now turned into a major destination park with this announcement. I feel very fortunate to live as close to the park as I do and we will definitely get our moneys worth next year with the season pass and the dining plan.
