Y’all are so impatient, every damn one of ya. :lol:

Not necessarily, but while I did get some video of the entrance ride in, I doubt image stabilization will fix it - that road is bumpy as hell right now. Need to get my car checked out.

Wood.


While waiting on the campground transportation shuttle of course:

Please tell me you guys aren’t gonna start naming the cranes.

But I do regret the poorly hyphenated text wraps. Does the graphics department need a little advice?


Lots of colors and high-res here, although I do have a new camera on order..

It's because of that I fear the name of the coaster will be called FURY 325. But there is a slight difference. There isn't another coaster named FURY opening, so then why would it be called FURY 325, and not just Fury?

Centurion=GREAT name
Fury=Decent
Fury 325=Awful

I just hope that whatever it's called, there's not another one called the same thing like all the Goliaths out there

So I would guess you may prefer the name Intimidator, but not Intimidator 305? Adding the height number is a descriptive point of distinction, and does not bother me. Actually I rather like I-305 and Fury 325 ... But do you suppose 2015 will be 2010 in reverse? With Carowinds getting the giga coaster this time called Fury 325, and Kings Dominion getting a rumored hyper called Fury?

I don't think it will be Centurion because the Coke can is too obviously a tease.

I'm not sure if this is the correct grassy area you are referring to chknwing, but the ones in the area near the toll booth is the dirt that was dug up for the dry basins.

Now, the crane...
As soon as I saw that, I had a feeling in my gut, but don't trust my gut. I just have a feeling that we are just days away from seeing track (hopefully a shimmering gold color). We'll need to keep our eyes peeled this week...
