Already looks pretty tall, but comparing it to the banner at that top of the site... Well you know..

Double post, sorry (first time I've done that on here!) From Mike's twitter:

With this first piece of the lift installed, FURY325 stands 85' tall. 240' to go until we top out!!!

^Wow, that's 2 feet taller than the hurler. Fingers crossed that they finish up to the second support of the lift this week!

I like the white on the lift hill. But for some reason it feels like too much on the break run lol

ok correct me if I am wrong but they bolted 2 pieces together and then lifted into place right?

Hi,
First post on this site been lurking around for a while, decided to join.
I can't wait to ride Fury next year, looks like a solid ride for the park.

chknwing, I think the crane that is on site will work, they do have extensions that can be put on the end of the boom.
I looked up Grove GMK7550 specs and one of the height charts shows with the correct set up it can reach a height of 430 ft.
It would be something like this.

^ Yes they did bolt two pieces of track and lifted it into place. Most likely will do the same up to the top.
