You know what? It would've been crazy cool if the type of light that's on the lift hill would've gone along the whole coaster on the bottom neon yellow part just on the banked sections.

I see what you are saying. I think that would look cool from off-ride, for sure.

I know they've said that more lights will be installed. I really hope that they aren't to extensive though, especially on and after the first drop. For night riding, I really want that first plunge to be a dive into total blackness.

I don't think Fury night rides will be greater than Intimidator's or Afterburn's. I feel like there will be too much light at the front gate (look up Gatekeeper at night to see what I'm talking about). Unless it's SCarowinds. Than night rides should be insane.

Cedar Point entrance is not bright at all, unless the LED board is flashing crazy bright colors with advertisements. I like the blue accent key holes. Intimidator's night rides are bright as hell with those big canister spot lights used to light the supports or the whole coaster for that matter. Afterburn and Thunder Road, to me, have the best night rides.

Fury's sign is starting to take shape!!

Geez I know they said about 13ft tall, I just thought they were pulling our legs.

They need to turn the autobid options off for the auctions. I mean, this poot Scott guy bid $220 for the front row, first seat, first car and a little over ONE SECOND later that Dan guy autobid him out of it by $280 more bucks.

And if you look at the bid history of that particular seat, that Dan guy is autobidding everyone out of it.

The bidding system in general is awful. For all the past ride auctions at Cedar Fair parks it has been one single bidding item, and then everyone gets ranked highest to lowest to choose their seats. Having 96 individual auctions is a recipe for chaos. You could bid $200 but end up getting nothing while someone bidding $50 gets a seat because you chose the wrong seat and went up against the wrong person.

My streams are not working. And if the stream loads anything it's a still image. It's definitely loading from pixelcaster because the Carowinds watermark is loading.

On the latest still image of cam 2, they had a cherry picker working on the trim brake.

I was getting excited and thought maybe I'd take a drive, but the one tarp was still on in that still image. So, my excitement was for nothing.

^ I am only able to see the still images also . I wonder if they are going to do a test before the official "first test".

[FamousAmos]

^^Well, remember when the last section of track went into place? They done a "test fit" the day before so that media wouldn't be there if there was a mistake. I'm sure that they'll do a test run before the media can see it.

When you point it out like that - man... I don't think this is gonna end well. How is that gonna work with the Max bid? Like, are we going for particular seat or just get any at the last minute? If we wait till the last minute, we're liable to be outbid by an autobid!

[Jonathan]

It's going to be tricky for sure. Right now we've raised over $600 more than the highest bidder, but as you said there is no way to know what someone has on autobid.

I agree, I thought Intimidators bidding went well... The top 96 got a ride and got to choose their seat. Auto bids suck. This has a recipe for chaos and end up like flEbay With a bunch of people sniping seats at the last minute.
