I saw fury the first time, in person... And it looks like a good time.

Fury is running non stop right now! They are running 2 trains without water dummies and 1 with. When the train gets on the return course another one is going up the lift. Night Hawk is testing as well. Plant snoopy is running through show testing because I can hear the music coming from the stage area.

The engineering on this ride is insanely incredible, plus I just found out that the transfer track is considered a block as well that way once a train is dispatched onto the lift and the train behind it is already loaded that train can pull out and be parked on the transfer/block track so the third train can load. Tell me that's not epic!!! Of course you already know the lift have multi speeds and it won't go full speed until the train before has cleared the first set of brakes.

It looks to me like the lights under the Fury bridge are not synced to when the train goes under, but just go off about every 18 seconds... so it would be hit or miss whether they went off when a train went under.

Every 18 seconds instead of train triggered, sounds good to me. Possible increase in rerides at night, as if night won't be good enough on there on!

Dueling dragons and sheikra says "you're welcome"! Beemers have always been ahead of their game pretty much since the beginning. And hopefully their launch concept can catch on...

Wait, I thought the transfer track wasn't a block! Omg this makes me happy.
