Also they hinted at a "big splash" for 2016. Does this mean a water coaster, log flume, or water park attraction? Or is it too early to start a 2016 speculation thread? But as for now I am just excited for 2015 and Fury 325.

I am officially calling this the tallest non-gimmicky-bull**** roller coaster in the world.

Love that!

Might as well go ahead and start it up haha. Pretty direct tease from the park. Lost in all this madness is that Kings Dominion announced their water park expansion today. They are adding some of the floor drop-out slides.

Looks like we were wrong about the manufacturer. Instead it is made by "Bollinger & Mabillard".

On a side-note... Looks like the webcam has moved. However, it's a bit unclear.

WSOC Channel 9 Eyewitness News had the best local news coverage of the announcement, with a live report from the park. WBTV-3 and WCNC-36 just showed video of the new coaster. Maybe they will have more on the evening news.

What's this "we" business?

[Chris]

I just realized we don't have the usual 360 degree, pan around shot of the trains.

After sifting through the press kit, I was able to find out the answer to the seat belt question.

"Design.... Fiberglass and steel coaches with lapbar restraints and interlocking seat belts."

Sorry for the bad news guys and gals.

[hdmech]

I could really care less about the seatbelts, they didnt affect the ride experience for intimidator so why does that change for fury 325? As for efficiency, once again....hardly noticable (in my opinion).

Channel 9 actually interviewed me... lol.
