I know some manufacturers that make launch coasters are unreliable (cough intiman)Are Mack launch coasters reliable?

For your safety please keep your hands arms feet and legs inside the ride at all times sit in an upright seated position facing forward with your back and shoulders against the seat hold on to the handlebar until the end of the ride thank you and enjoy fury 325

Mack rollercoasters are extremely reliable AFAIK.

Mack are among the best in the industry, along with B&M. The retracking on DC Rivals is a bit odd, though that seems to be more of an anomaly than anything.

The announcement starts at 11:00 AM. The park may start live streaming a little sooner than that, but the actual announcement starts at 11. I'll be watching the live stream since I wasn't lucky enough to get invited, but i'm not media or anything, so it's understandable.

I think it's at 10am, but I could be wrong. Too lazy to do the math from the countdown clock on the website

Wish I could be there Thursday like I was for the water park expansion and Fury 325 announcements. Not possible this year though with me closing on my new house tomorrow. Lol. Should be a great time for you all able to though. Can’t wait to ride it next year.
