Wonderland probably lost a lot of days to snow as well. So if our weather holds up, I guess it is possible.
Of course, Leviathan didn't open to the public until April 27th, which is a month difference
. Leviathan's last track piece was installed on February 7th, which gave them ~80 days between track completion and ride opening. Fury is also way longer than Leviathan, which means it should take longer to construct (though I don't know the exact dates of when "construction" began on either, Leviathan's lift hill was about a third complete in October the season prior). Having said that, I'm still confident they'll have Fury open on time! Leviathan was probably finished with extra time in mind since it was B&M's first giga, longest single-chain lift, unsupported crest of lift hill, etc., and, yeah, snow (couldn't exactly test it with the rails covered in ice
). I say, ~1 month for testing and an additional (~1) month for training is more than enough.
Fury325 is going to my be 100th coaster, on my birthday.
