We all know what's coming, but what's leaving? The south gate?

I'm getting hyped guys. Can wait to hear the reactions of the members here. Question. After media day will you be allowed to put a review on here or will they tell you to wait until opening day. Might sound crazy but I know sometimes cars, movies and a whole lot of other stuff has embargo.

Carolina Cyclone RMC Iron Horse conversion for 2016, calling it. Err, wait...

I'm very much looking forward to Fury media day coverage and (hopefully) park-sanctioned drone footage. It's crazy awesome that one could actually use a drone to perfectly replicate Fury's flyover animation.

You know, yesterday I was wondering if someone would be able to replicate the off-ride animation using a drone. That would be very cool!

I think it would be an excellent marketing/promotional move for the park, and both a coaster and technology showcase. I want to see an HD version of that rad commercial too!

Why would the transfer track be counted as a block? The block brakes on the B&M coasters are behind the transfer track. Same for Hurler; the transfer on OddCoaster and Thunder Road arent block brake either.

Leaving, free admission to the waterpark. Coming, Soak City. In all seriousness, if its a ride, I hope we would be told which it is before the end of the season so we can ride the hell out of it before its demolished.

I'm almost positive it is. It has pinch brakes as well as motored wheels.It is on all coasters. If a train can be stopped there then it can be considered a block...
