If dude wasn't all illegal and stuff, this would have been a great "header" image on top of this site!

While watching testing this afternoon from the drop-off lot, I decided to time how frequently they were releasing trains. I started the timer as each train passed the FAA beacon at the top of the lift hill.

Train 1 - 00:00.00 seconds
Train 2 - 01:27.74 seconds
Train 3 - 01:24.84 seconds
Train 4 - 01:25.82 seconds
Train 5 - 01:29.62 seconds
Train 6 - 01:24.27 seconds
Train 7 - 01:25.72 seconds
Train 8 - 01:24.19 seconds
Train 9 - 01:23.64 seconds

I really hope once it comes time to process the general public, that the ride operations team can continue to crank one out of the station roughly every 90 seconds.

I will assume that the ride ops for Fury are also practicing loading/unloading procedures in order to get a "accurate" load and unload times. I hope that you're right Kineticmind and that they'll get a train out every 90 seconds. I imagine that with the locker policy, people can get on increasingly faster, get their seat belt buckled and lap bar down. A quick safety check, and out of the station they go.
We'll find out soon enough.


EDIT:
Quick, check camera 2! Look at the Fury Bridge. They are testing lighting effects!
