Serious question and slightly off topic...how many hours a day do you guys watch the cam? Not judging you people...just curious.

I have dual monitors at home and work, sometime the cam would be on one monitor at all times if I don't need both monitors at the moment. You never know what you will see. *hint* water spilling */hint*

If the operator really want to push the limit, they could have a train cresting the lift hill as soon as forward train arrived to final brakes.

I don't think the blocking system would even allow that to happen. If you've noticed on Intimidator and Goliath (and any other B&M coaster), if you are going up the lift and the train before you has not passed the mid-course or the first set of brakes on the brake run, the lift hill slows. Once the previous train has cleared the blocks, then the lift hill speeds up to it's normal speed. If the previous train hasn't cleared the blocks by the time your train reached the peak, the lift will stop short of the drop to prevent anything from causing it to possibly go on over.

So, to clarify your statement, the second train would never be cresting the lift if the previous train had never cleared the blocks.

Hey, I'm wondering if you have a site where I could purchase a large print of your photos?

Since I have had numerous requests, I am looking into Smugmug and Shuttershock as a way to sell some of my aerial photos. I have many more aerial views besides Fury 325. If anyone has had experience with any of these sites, or other sites that sell photos, please advise me as I am new to this part of the game.

Yeah I know, I meant the final brakes as the end of brake run, so the first brake block will be already cleared by the time train is cresting the lift.

Flying Phil's does aerial photography too, but mostly northeast amusements parks, I ordered some prints from him, and I'm very satisfied with his work. He uses Paypal for payment and on-site order form. But I'm not sure where he print his photos though, maybe Fedex Office? Here is his order form as an example, maybe you can contact him via email for any questions?

Carowinds responded to a tweet about the new park maps and apparently, it will be out later this week. I hope it's the full pdf and not just an image. I also noticed from the picture, the food and game locations aren't listed by number anymore.

Fun fact: Fury 325 is almost precisely 3x taller than a standard 689m Vekoma SLC and nearly thrice the length as well. It will be infinitely better than one of those, however.

Im not sure if we have talked about this topic on here yet but has anyone found out where the camera will be on the ride to take your pictures. or where do you think it should go?

Speaking of pictures... cam one looks awesome this morning with sunrise illuminating the city

I think that the camera is supposed to be on the "return path" somewhere. It will be "the last place that gets close to the ground". Exact words by Steve Jackson. I'd say that it will be right after the hill after the helix?

If you look at cam 2 and look at the bottom of the second drop there is a white pole, and thats where I believe the camera will be.

Based on the fact that Intimidator's is near the end of the ride I am going to guess that Fury's will be around the double helix.

I have a friend who is a professional photographer and she uses Smugmug. I've bought some of her photos and thought it was easy to use.

From Steve himself, "The on-ride camera will be located on the drop of the 2nd camelback hill", so after you exit the helix and climb the small camelback, on the downward turn is where your picture shall be taken. Now could things have changed, possibly, maybe the park felt that it would be better in a better spot.
