I called the number and got a chinese take out. Bastards.

Hmm, I wonder if that was Panda Express...

FURY 325!

[coasterbruh]

I called the number too. It was very interesting. BUT I don't think its a teaser for the coaster, but rather for Scarowinds. And not for the Fury maze but for Rougarou! I think it'll be this years chain-wide maze, like 2013's Zombie High School was installed at multiple parks. Rougarou was hinted at during Cedar Point's 'Camp Rou' recently and the paranormal/ferocious description definitely fits that better than just the word Fury... That doesn't even properly describe the current Fury maze, which is themed to mutants right? How are mutants ferocious and paranormal. Typically paranormal is used to speak of ghostly or supernatural activity, a werewolf (rougarou) would make sense as its both ferocious and supernatural.

I think it was hung on the coaster fence because it will be seen by passersby and can also double as teasing the coaster (let's remember that of all the teasers only 1 will be the theme, so it's not that strange to tease one thing and have it actually be an inaccurate teaser that describes something else entirely; in this case possibly a new maze.)

BUT it could be for the coaster too, I just doubt it. I really like the Centurion name, but Fury itself isn't a bad name, providing the numbers are dropped. I find them unoriginal and useless. And I'd hate for our epic attraction's name to be given to another coaster too. Maybe they'll come from left field and just call it Fury? That's trademarked too...

EDIT: to sum it up, the sign seems to be a teaser for the coaster, whereas the phone call seems to be a teaser for a maze? Or not. Just speculation.

How did you get werewolves out of paranormal activity???

So why do people hate 'Fury 325' so much? First of all, Fury sounds just right for a monstrous coaster ripping through the park, and 325 gives you the height number. I'd be thrilled to have a coaster like that at our park. Do you hate Intimidator 305's name?

Successful troll was successful. Lets just hope we don't have the same trespassing issues as there were last year between KI and KIC.

Successful? Being potentially banned trying to troll the forum is success?

Do you hate Intimidator 305's name?

Hate is a strong word, but no, I don't particularly care for it.

First, yes I hate Intimidator 305's name. IMO Adding a number to a coaster name is dumb and unoriginal. Carowinds is building a world class attraction that deserves a world class name. Fury 325 does not fit that at all. Centurion is a decent name. If Carowinds wants to go with the Fury name, I would rather have Carolina Fury. More than likely, its not going to be anything we have heard yet. Which would be fine by me.

[tarheel1231]

Oh Jesus, Carolina Fury is even worse! Eww........

[Atombomb]

Do people say Magnum XL 200.... No most people just say magnum one of the all time greatest rollercoasters IMO

[Jetp]

I am more bothered by naming everything with the Carolina prefix than I am with Fury 325. How many rides do we have already with the Carolina prefix? Do people forget where this park is?

[Jonathan]

You know, I hadn't even thought about Magnum. It is an interesting comparison and I've never had a problem with that name; probably because I'm just accustomed to it. I guess the main difference with Magnum is that the 200 was significant because it was the first roller coaster in the world to ever break the 200 foot barrier; a major milestone in roller coaster history. Maybe I'm just being hypocritical, though.

Either way, it won't be themed to NASCAR, so no matter what it's a step up in my book.

yeah I'm not thrilled with it either but just showing my distaste for the Fury name altogether. If Carowinds were to remove the Carolina from the other rides, and just name their main attraction Carolina "whatever" that would be ideal.


fwiw, I liked the Nascar theme. Thought it fit in nicely with the area and was different then anything else done before. They could have just did something generic like The Racer or something but they went out of their way to name the ride after my all time favorite driver just for me.

[arby]

I still don't understand why if it's themed to Nascar it doesn't just go around in a left hand circle.
