It's funny how the way these reports on the ride make it seem like it's THE tallest in the world. They act like they've never seen Kingda Ka or Dragster. Maybe it's because they resonate more with Fury's traditional style...? Either way, more people are coming to ride it now for sure!

I assume there are going to be a lot of people there. Fury is a huge news story as noted above.

I agree that it's gonna be crowded that night, but if I were gonna pay for a Fast Lane pass, I think I'd do it on a day that the park was open more than 5 hours to get more rides for my money.

yea glad you said that but i mean if we want to ride it multiple times i mean hey id spend $60 just to ride fury a couple of more times so i didn't have to wait. all though i probably will get a fast lane pass when its just regular season (depending on crowd size that day).

^ I never thought I would see the day where Carowinds is trending alongside The Avengers, Family Guy, and He-Man.

:lol: I'm not sure if I should have a nerdgasm or a coastergasm...
Maybe I will hold in all my gasms until The Avengers and Fury open lol.

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.

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.

The only part that looks dull to me is the helix. It reminds me of the diving spiral on Intimidator.

I'm hoping with all this space in and around the coaster some rather large trees will be planted to fill in the space or maybe a pond until it's time to expand a new area that way shade is already provided when they make pathways maybe a new midway like Gemini midway or something. :think:
