I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed but part of the former path from the parking lot to the plantation house is still intact. I wonder if it will be repurposed or it just hasent be end removed yet.

Look closely in the last view of the ride in that video (the part starting at about :44). There's some weird moving shape that almost looks like a head-and-shoulder view of a person...does anyone else see this or am I just freaking out? :wtf:

That is someone's reflection by glass wall alongside the bridge above the tunnel.

I think they went ahead with the glass. Makes sense why they waited to put something in the middle of.the bridge.

The glass on the bridge is a huge safety feature. Imagine being hit by a small item on the ride while traveling upwards of 70 MPH. (i.e. a set of keys, a pen, cellphone, or similar item that can fit between the bars.)

Sssssssssiiiiiiggggghhhhhhh....you know what, you're right. How can the park be so amateur and not catch this...I don't feel safe now. No Fury 325 for me. I want to live.

Any ideas on how much lockers will cost? I shouldn't be going to the park too heavy (just a phone, wallet, etc.), but if I had too much stuff and I needed to put it in a Fury 325 locker, how much would it cost? I've heard $.50, $4.00, but what will the cost be around?

I seriously hope the park would consider offering a once-a-day locker fee for pass-holders. After all, we are going to be the people riding Fury most often and paying by the hour could run up a huge bill by the end of any given season.

he said feature, not concern. meaning they already caught it. It's safe for you to ride now.

As far as lockers go, I *think* they were $2/hr for Banshee which is borderline ridiculous. I imagine they'd get used more if the price were more palatable.
