For the trellises in the plaza

Why are they pouring concrete right there for?

If you look at the plans there are overhangs possibly a support for them.

One of the things that will make this ride seem bigger than it is (not that it isn't already) is the open trains. The first time I rode Intimidator the height was SO much more accentuated by the fact that you didn't have a sidewall of the train blocking your view of what is essentially straight down. (Swing your feet out over the abyss). If Fury's trains had walls, the horizon would really not appear much different at 200ft than at 300 especially if you had shoulder harnesses preventing you from moving around much. BUT, without the train side panels and only lap restraints, those riders on the outside are really gonna know what 300 feet straight down looks like!

Yay! They just moved camera 1.

[Capler]

Almost time to move the camera again!

Done!

Looks like tomorrow will begin by cresting the camelback and crossing the first drop.

Since there will be literally NOTHING in the way of track construction on the far side of the lift-hill (along with bright sunshine forecast for tomorrow), things should move VERY rapidly through to the crest of the second camelback where it crosses back under the lift-hill.

[uscbandfan]

Need more track though. Hopefully, they'll move more in overnight and into tomorrow morning.

Really, the only think that I could see slowing down track construction is the amount of track left.

2 supports and 6 pieces of track installed. Link to gallery

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

I am taking a stab at it and guessing they are still ahead of schedule....
They seem to be keeping up with track deliveries.

About 20 minutes ago I drove by Carowinds on 77 and saw Fury 325 for the first time, faintly illuminated by the work lights.
HOLY.
CRAP.

Seeing it in person, priceless.
Can't wait until Saturday!

[chknwing]

i don't like the camelback going over the first drop. thoughts, opinions?

I don't have a problem with it. I kind of wish it was closer to give a good head chopper effect.

maybe like UK's Thorpe Park initial testing

"Thorpe Park's new £20m ride The Swarm has urgent redesign after dummies return from test run with limbs snapped off"

I wasn't as shocked about the dummies limbs missing than what I read at the end of that article about the park wanting people to donate urine. wtf

Thorpe Park is well known for their crazy viral marketing.

Thorpe Park is well known for their crazy viral marketing.

That reminds me to back when they were building Storm Surge and an article surfaced about workers claiming the construction area was haunted. They said that many of their tools would move on their own and even disappear.

Then there is this article about Storm Surge being haunted by a headless monk: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/artic ... -monk.html

Sorry for getting us off topic

Has anyone heard anything about the live entertainment lineup?
