If you think what I've posted on Fury news is even 1% of what is out there, then you haven't been looking. I posted pieces of the ones I did because I thought they were funny. And does anyone really give a s**t about "post counts" ???
Maybe you do....


This is a forum talking about Fury 325 so why can't he post stuff about it. Like its been said learn to skip the things you don't care about. I actually like when ppl post different articles about the ride and carowinds because it may be something interesting that i haven't read yet. CARRY ON AXEL POST AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE BRO!!

what exactly does one receive for having a high post count?


They have a chance of winning front row seats on Fury 325 after standing in line for an hour or so on opening day lol

I'm sorry but I enjoy hearing what others are saying about our ride/park and am happy someone is posting the links. It means I don't have search for them myself. Many people don't know about Carowinds so it is very heart warming to see media from across the country talk about us. I really hope some of the national media outlets are here on media day. I remember drooling over new record breaking coaster at Cedar Point when I saw them on the 6:30 news a kid. Now that will be us. :clap:

Please let me know if it's not working.

Edit: You still could see water coming out during first camelback hill... AIRTIME!


How did you record the webcam like that? What software do you use?


Honestly, I'm not sure how. My friend recorded it on his computer, he just wish that he's not to be named.

I never said that I hate all of this attention Carowinds is getting. Trust me, I'm just as happy as you guys are. As a longtime superfan of Carowinds, it fills me with excitement to see INTERNATIONAL news coverage of Fury. All I meant to say in my post is that there was not a need to link all of these news articles. Had I known my original post would cause such an argument, I never would have made it in the first place.

Is that not a parking lot section designation? I do not think this is a support. I think it's a parking lot pole.

I think Gabed is right, I love Fury and everything to do with it but all that Axel has done is post articles that are essentially all the same. Also what's the point of posting an entire article, with mostly wrong info, that we already know about.

It does sometimes appear that users do just want to increase their post count. Instead of just editing a previous post they post the corrected info on a whole new post.

^ they were snippets of articles for the purpose of humor. they weren't posting "the entire article" numbnuts. If you or Gabed thought Google translated foreign text with funny wording was for the purpose of imparting info "that you already knew about" then you have a serious comprehension problem. And I haven't posted corrected information on new posts. Move along little doggies...
