Wow! The comparison really shows how much more banks and sharp turns Fury 325 has. It looks way more disorienting to me than Leviathan. That's what I think will set this coaster apart. It's almost like a hybrid where you have a giga coaster that after the drop turns into this intense traditional almost looping coaster. Any way you slice it, it looks like Fury 325 is going to be intense.

One thing I notice in the comparison videos is that Leviathan goes into the first big airtime hill much sooner than Fury, which twists and turns low to the ground more. And Leviathan seems to have 2 big airtime hills whereas Fury has the one big hill and then some smaller hills. Not counting the drop into the tunnel. I sort of wish Fury had more big airtime hills rather than all the twists close to the ground. But I guess they wanted it to be different, and it may turn out to be the better ride.

We've got Intimidator for airtime hills. I like Fury 3-2-5 just like it is.

Fury definitely seems to be moving faster than Leviathan. Hopefully they engineered against blackouts like I305 which reportedly is a very intense ride.

Funny how yesterday I was excited and constantly checking the live feed to hopefully catch the first test. I just watched it live 4 times and I was like...."Cool....can I ride it now?" :lol:

Not saying I'm not excited but funny how the feeling is different today watching it than it was yesterday. Now I just really want the 27th to get here so I can climb on it. I'm really excited about the layout. I love the airtime on Intimidator, but I'm really looking forward to some of the twists and turns on Fury!

Yea Intimidator is great for airtime hills. And Fury looks like a great ride. Just noticed the major difference with Leviathan is it has the first big airtime hill before the turnaround, whereas Fury has all those low ground twists and turns before it turns back around. So Leviathan seems to have 2 big airtime hills and Fury has 1. But then Fury has more camelback hills where Leviathan abruptly ends.

My favorite part of Leviathan was the speed hill after the first turn, so if I could change one thing about Fury it would be to unbank one of the high speed turns near the beginning to create that element. Also, the high turn after the dive under the bridge looks like it could be a bit of a dead spot. I'm hoping the extra length and hills at the end are enough to edge Fury past Leviathan, though.
