Thank you all for the videos! Very cool to watch! I'm sorry if I missed this but on the 27th will pass holders be able to ride Fury?

That's what I would like to know. I am thinking of getting a season pass. And if you get season pass does that include Fastlane or is that an additional upcharge?

Ummmm... I answered about pass holders being able to ride on the 27th, like, 5 posts above...

Fast lane isn't included with Season Pass. They had a promotion at the end of last season where you got a free Fast Lane pass for one day in the 2014 season if you purchased or renewed for 2015 during September and October, but that isn't applying to this year.

(Nice videos Amos). Can someone make a side-by-side POV of Fury and Intimidator? That would show how different the two really are.

And here it is: http://tinyurl.com/kv39zt8

Fury has faster transitions than Intimidator. Intmidator is more drawn out, but Fury just seems to hit you with each element.

Just because I had already edited it. No more I promise.
It takes longer for Intimidator to drop because the train is longer than that of Fury's, so it hangs on the Chain Lift longer even when on the drop.

^ You're awesome.

While we all really so appreciate all these videos, you don't have do do all this. Go out and enjoy yourself!

[Tawny71]

From what I know of FamousAmos, this IS what he does to enjoy himself!

Yet another awesome video!

What's great is how much exposure the ride has gotten so far.

Even Perez Hilton wrote a page about it: http://perezhilton.com/2015-03-05-carow ... PkhDoHF8vE

[Prongfan]

Yeah, and USA Today, the Washington Post, and Entertainment Weekly so far.
Very cool!

[Hiveminded]

Yeah, I wore my Fury shirt today (well.. yesterday) and I had at least 6 or 7 different people tell me "Hey I watched that video last night, that looks really cool!". It's great to see the ride getting publicly.

It seems like Fury Fever went viral, and as a longtime enthusiast I'm tickled pink over it. The coaster itself looks phenomenal, and could possibly be the pinnacle of B&M's speed coaster efforts to date - almost like their take on a hybrid of Millennium and I305.

Absorbing all of the various video comparisons (thanks FamousAmos!) makes it clear that some extra care could have been taken to steady and center the cam, but it seems like most of the media outlets sharing the video clearly stated it was a test run, so who knows - maybe the rough and tumble POV gave the sense of a more out of control ride and contributed to it going viral. I think the member who originally noted this was simply making observations, it was kind of disappointing to watch some members come to the defense of the park as if it were under attack or the POV itself were above reproach by current standards. Promotion and marketing are part and parcel to the investment of a new attraction (and tenfold for such a project as this), and that's all the more clear now that Carowinds is appearing on the world's stage. I think all of us are simply passionate about seeing the park shine as brightly as it can.

I can say, however, that I am very grateful for how inclusive Carowinds have been during the entire construction process and I can't wait to trek to the park for the first time this summer. Mike and the entire crew have been great at updating us and I appreciate the members who have taken time to provide content as well. It's my own opinion that Fury is a slam dunk for top 10 steel and I couldn't be more excited! The Fever is real.

Also, the high turn after the dive under the bridge looks like it could be a bit of a dead spot.

Just as I suspected from the animation. I hope we're dead wrong on it though. In my mind I could've seen them cutting that high turn a little lower and adding one of those speed hills over the entrance walkway that led up into the big airtome hill. Hell, B&M might've tried that in one version and decided the forces were too much.

I'll hold final judgement until I ride it, but I've got my fingers crossed for something good there.

Well said and I completely agree.

Yesterday it finally happened: The long-awaited first test drive of the new record-breaking Giga-Coaster Fury 325 in Carowinds was held. Fury 325 is not only the longest roller coaster in North America or the highest and longest ever built by B & M coaster, but also the highest of a chain lift-powered rollercoaster world! With an overall height of 99 meters, the lift hill rises into the sky opened and the fast ride on a wild tangle-rails. A 80 ° steep first drop provides the first kick, followed by sweeping curves and changes of inclination. The subsequent turn-over, which is unique in its kind, opened the second part of the course. Among the main entrance pass, followed by a series of Camelbacks and a helix. Before you know it the scarce two kilometers rail length were completed in an entertaining time of less than two minutes. Of course, we do not want you in suspense any torture and of course have the mentioned point of view video ready:
As of March 28, you can take the new giants in North / South Carolina. Until then, probably quite a few test runs shall be made, but as long as doing more such watchable videos and images which we can certainly cope with this yet.
We are already in the so-called "FuryFever" - what about you from?

* Video arrival at the greatest "roller coaster" in the world of Fury 325: falling from a height of 100 meters, the speed of 153 km / h - http://www.novate.ru

The greatest attraction of all time, the coolest "roller coaster" in the world opened in the US this spring. Fury 325 - this is a crazy race long 3 minutes 25 seconds for a two-kilometer highway at speeds up to 153 km / h. The main highlight will be a "free fall" with a 100-meter height on the canvas almost steep angled 81 degrees. When watching a video of the first test run, some even begins nauseated at the monitor. This you just have not seen!

Just two days ago a new amusement park of the city of Charlotte (North Carolina, USA) completed the first test runs at the crazy roller coaster in the world - Fury 325. The creators of the "roller coaster" compared to their offspring with a swarm of hornets, rushing at incredible speed over rough terrain .

Fall coaster with a height of 100 meters and acceleration to speed 153 km / h on the highway for more than two kilometers automatically puts 325 Fury in the Guinness Book of Records as the highest and fastest "roller coaster" in the world. The official opening of the attraction is scheduled for late March 2015.

As long as everything goes according to plan - unforeseen casualties and incidents not. However, as events turn when the first visitors to predict now difficult.

Untrained people on this attraction can lose not only a trifle out of your pockets, bags and stomach contents, but also the mind!

Really? That element looks pretty snappy to me. Coming off of it and transitioning into a straight-away-esque drop might be a bit dull, but the turn overall should be pretty fun.

[Jarsh]

It comes across like Afterburn's hill over the lift. It looks as though it just serves as a "get your from this point to this point" element. I'm changing my mind from earlier - It would've been cool to see it bank to the right into a downward helix before hitting a speed hill over the entrance, haha.
