They might be applying some paint touch ups to the track.

Gotta make it look good for media day and opening weekend. (Hope it's quick drying paint.)

Maybe I missed this but what is with the road under Fury's turnaround that just abruptly ends before the plaza area?

The TODAY show spot was nice. They just wrapped it up. Some good footage. Can't wait to ride!

Just saw the Fury report on the Today Show. Good publicity, especially from NBC-Universal which operates competing parks. But I wonder how they assembled that group of riders. I would have been happy to ride along. They said it was a very smooth ride.

They might be employees. I live in Greenville and am getting Kelly and Michael.

The segment was great. They really didn't under sell it at all.
Even Tim Gunn said it looked terrifying! lol

I wonder if they will finish all the lights for fury 325 where the helix is? I don't think there is any lighting in that area..unless thats how they want it (which i'm really fine with).

I had to watch it a couple of times, because the first time I was looking at all of the landscaping around it. Then I watched it again to watch the actual ride/riders. :lol:
