So how did Carowinds go from 115 acres to 400 acres?

[intaminboy]

Wow I didn't know Fury opened in 2014! and it said another wave of investments past the 50 million. Sounds like no off years for us!

So how did Carowinds go from 115 acres to 400 acres?

220.27 acres in SC
153.46 acres in NC
Total = 373.73 Acres

[RollerBee]

I am just saying the park hasn't expanded nearly 300 acres from when Paramount sold the park.

[FamousAmos]

Is this also including the undeveloped land they bought a few years back up next to the interstate? Just curious.

[Jarsh]

They are referring to the 400 acres that Cedar Fair owns in total of which 115 acres has been developed into the park.

Yeah its crazy but you gotta remember these are literately based on popularity and MF has been open for a lot longer than fury so more people have ridden it giving it more votes while in comparison Fury hasn't even been open for a year and its #4 so so I would expect for it to get to #1 or #2 in a year or two once even more people have ridden it. Fury is my favorite coaster and I have ridden MF too, so I hope it eventually beats it out!

Okay. That's what I thought, but I wasn't completely sure. I wonder if N&S is interested in selling any of their land behind Hurler any time soon? That would be an amazing spot for a GCI woodie!

Carowinds has this proudly displayed on Fury's staircase to the station.

Also, when I rode Fury yesterday, I did not notice any rattle at all except for maybe a little shutter as it went around the turnaround. Fury's crew wasn't moving very fast, but man! Fury was. It felt like Fury was moving at 500 mph! I could visibly tell that it was moving faster over the front gate compared to how it was moving earlier this season.

As of now, I'm watching the live feed and Fury it testing with one train. Do they usually test the rides in the week? Or is something still not right?

[RiDeWaRrIoR]

When did they add this screen at furu? I dont remember seeing it last week... I think its awesome i hope some other rides get it as well.

[RollerBee]

What is it?
