There is no immediate rush for the track and vertical construction until all the footers are in place. Especially since it takes concrete an average of 30 days to cure sufficiently.

Cranes cost a lot of money to rent, so they're not just going to put up track a little bit at a time. They're going to wait until they can power through a big portion of the vertical construction in a short period of time.

Can't remember what video it was on, but there was a comment about Fury 325 that said something like:
As hard as Cedar Fair tries, no coaster will be better than Millenium Force

Weekend update (whenever that became a thing) from this afternoon, a day earlier than usual. Now that football season is in full swing this has to be fit in between certain Saturday and Sunday games, lol. And if you’re paying attention, some Scarowinds stuff for the teens too:

Yeah and I bet they also found a way to include that path with the queue line for Fury but with that path being there during normal Carowinds operating hours next year it must be for the exit of the ride. Who knows?
