On a fury 325 youtube vid, someone commented that they had never heard of Carowinds.....they said this looks awesome and it was on their bucket list........

Attraction known around the world?

I have always heard that in my coaster blog life. Being on I-77 and not I-85 also makes a big difference.

Driving into work this morning and sitting in traffic on 77....UGH....it really started to dawn on me the immense scale of Fury. This was the first time I actually had a chance to sit and look at it from the road. Now that the barrel turn is topping off, you can see the size. Then you think about the fact that the turn is 190 feet off the ground. That's only about 40' less than Intimidator's first drop. This is a BEAST!

WOW!

B&M doesn't do that with their coasters, they do a much easier and efficient method. They use a test gauge like the one hanging from Banshees track in this pic

Cool. Makes sense to have a better way. Maybe pulling the train was the way it was done way back when.

I haven't closely watched other manufactures, so they still may do the pull a through.

Yes Fury is extremely huge so far, as the lift hill now towers over the park. The impact hits as soon as you approach Nations Ford Rd. traveling down I-77 south, and it comes into plain view. And much more construction yet to come.

They seem to be struggling a bit topping off the support they're putting together as I'm watching.
Is it windy down there today?

[kirkgun]

There's a pretty good breeze right now (about 10 MPH), and some stronger gusts too (up to 20 MPH). The wind has been getting stronger since this morning.

I don't know if that's why things have been going slower, but then I haven't been watching live very much today either.

its possible they just stopped to watch the news to see if Cam Newton was ok or not.

Has anyone else noticed that there are 4 separate entrances to the que lines? Normal, single rider, fast lane and handicapped?

[intaminboy]

Single rider?! Yes, finally!!!

[DT3]

Wow.

1 supports and 2 pieces of track installed. Link to gallery

(best if you open the pic in a new tab)

^^Very twisty. I wonder if there's any chance for some good laterals.

Please Carowinds, let there be a single rider line... pretty please!

I wish they would bring back the single rider line on Intimidator, but I hope Fury will have one.

The locker policy will be partially forgiven if a single rider lane is added.
