That is an absolutely awful name, but I don't see what else it would be for. 325 feet would make it the tallest traditional coaster in the world (beating Steel Dragon by 7 feet), so there you go.

Fury was chosen as the name because of the intensity that this ride will bring and the insane elements! Is it 90 degrees outside today? I hope the clouds will do a rollover!

Hate the name but combined with that number, I love it. Now I will sit here with all my fingers and toes crossed for the next couple of months.

I don't care what they name it, if we really get a 325 foot giga I'll be beyond excited.

I really (really, really) like the name Centurion, Fury isn't terrible though. But Fury 325 I'm not a fan of. It seems a bit too 'Intimidator 305'-esque. And not a trend I'd like to see started.

I'd rather it just not have numbers after it, if I'm being honest. But the fact that it says 325 is a good omen for the height I guess.

I hope Cedar Fair isn't getting into the business of sticking numbers behind coaster names... First it was Intimidator 305 and now Fury 325? Sheesh...

Yeah. I dislike the number thing as well. What are the odds this was a clever hint at the height by Cedar Fair? Or that this isn't even the name, just good ole CF trying to be misleading?

Putting a number in the name could be a good marketing concept. Most in the general public don't really know how tall a ride is, stick a number in the name, they're going to know 'Fury 325' is taller that 'Intimidator 305' Sounds like a good way to drum up interest in a new ride.

It just doesn't hit the ear very well (or the eye for that matter), particularly in this case. IMO, of course.

What type of "roll over" do you imply? Are we talking a full inversion, or just an intense over banked turn? From what I gather from your posts we are looking at a 325' B&M giga, over a mile long with a 90 degree drop and a "roll over". Anything else you'd like to divulge at this time?
