So that leaves us with either teal or red/orange.


I think that the red/orange track is destined for a flying coaster in china.

The only facts that we know (at least I think these are facts) are as follows:
New Coaster.
-height--------------- 325'
-length--------------- 6,000+'
-manufacturer----- Bolliger & Mabillard
-type------------------- Giga
-trains----------------- sit-down 4 abreast (Leviathan style trains)
-location-------------- Thrill Zone out and back to entrance
-color track--------- Teal
-color supports---- unknown (perhaps off-white)
-name---------------- Fury325, Centurion (I hope), Rougarou ( I hope NOT)


None of these can be considered facts at this point except that it will be over 300 feet tall, will start in Thrill Zone, and will run to the entrance area.

This may be really hoping for too much, but way back on page 71 Jarsh wrote a long paragraph dropping hints about the ride. And he mentioned this:

I looked up facts on Charlotte Motor Speedway and found that it is 7,920 feet in length around the track. Could this be the possible length of the roller coaster? I know that is extremely long but it seems like this will be a pretty big coaster. That length would put it 2nd in longest roller coaster in the world and only behind Steel Dragon at 8,133 feet. I do think this is a bit crazy but I want to know your thoughts on this.

besides, I know for a fact that the trains will be Leviathan style, due to the fact that B&M doesn't run longer trains (Intimidator style) on their giga coasters due to the steep drops.

You know for a fact that B&M has not designed new trains? How? Do you work for B&M? Please stop spreading rumors. You are likely right but it is hardly a fact.

He was talking about the view from the highest point of the coaster at that point, not the length of the track.

At the risk of sounding uninformed, does anyone know how long these peepholes have been here?
