Its no different than using any other proper noun. You usually don't go around saying "The Joshua" or "The David."

In that article, it said "riders will experience a steep, 325-foot drop". I'm assuming that a reporter got some information confused. In the animation, there looked like a good 5 feet or so between the track and the ground at the bottom of the drop. But then again, Carowinds did say that there will be a few "surprises". We can only wait and see.

Yes, it may be a surprise since that's really the only "stat" that wasn't detailed on the official website.

Not to mention the fact that the entrance concept we saw is exactly that. A Concept. So the bridge area is also likely to change (which I hope so in some degree). Like how Leviathan's first drop had no tunnel, but it did when complete. Look at the bottom of Leviathan's drop:

We will know by this point in construction if the drop is 325 feet or more. I thought of this yesterday. Some details of the ride we will figure out as construction ensues.
I am clearly Captain Obvious.

I replied to a few of the comments on that page. Specifically the one that says "You must lead an 'uninspiring' life if you need THIS sort of thrill".

I have no life for replying. :(

Okay, so a few things. First. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I was working a trunk-or-treat and I dressed as Charlie Chaplin:


Also, I think that this looks better in black and white:

The offseason is almost here. While I'm sad that I won't get to visit the park for another 5 months, I am happy that we'll get to see more construction of Fury 325. I hope Clifford is almost here, I want to see this thing get real big soon. I'm hoping it will be topped by the end of this month.
