It seems like they're testing e-stop and various features of the lift tonight. The lift speed is definitely faster than the original figure of 63 seconds.

It looks like the trains might slow down just a little bit as they approach the drop off of the chain. Has anyone else noticed this?

A slightly different pic of the sign:

I really like the metallic theme and I can't wait to see how it's gonna look at nighttime!

Also, take note of all the 'No Loose Articles' signs. I guess they are trying to minimize as much confusion as possible about bins being on Fury, like they are on the rest of the coasters.

Mike told me that it will always to catch a quick view of Charlotte and surrounding views.

It's understandable. What if one if them crashed down into the park and damaged something. I'm sure they wouldn't want to pay for repairs. Then there is the issue of getting their drone back from inside the park.

I finally saw the Fury commercial this morning on WCNC (Channel 36, NBC-Charlotte). It looked very good in HD from the antenna, and I am now curious to see if it will appear on the Greenville-Spartanburg channels.
