Its taller than both, and yes the skytower has the Christmas lights, they do it every year.

Great pictures! Looks freakin incredible!

I'm guessing the magnitude of just how tall it is won't be felt until we see it in person. It looks HUGE in pics but in reality there's no way it doesn't look even bigger.

The hard part is over. This is where we see construction pick up a little.

Another factoid from some of the news stories:

4 - hours of daily inspections that will take place along the 6,602-foot track

OHHH MYYY GOOOOODNESSS!!

Thanks so much for all the pics and video's!! Look how SAD hurler looks in comparison to fury. It looks like Hurler is on the ground! I still can't believe this is at Carowinds out of all the parks across the world. I'm so happy ... I mean....I can't even.......

What's also striking is how out of place The Paladium looks. I think the axe is gonna fall in the next year or so...that's prime space that is mostly dead these days. I'm so glad to see Carowinds being rocketed into the future by Cedar Fair!

Maybe they won't need it anymore once the Carowinds Theater is expanded.

Would it be possible for someone to put together a quick time lapse of the lift hill construction? Sorry if its too much to ask for, I just think it'd be interesting.

Thank you! That's really cool to watch, now on to the rest of the coaster!

I see that Big Bird and Clifford Jr have released their holds on “little” Fury and their baby is fully standing on its own!!
