Carowinds 2015 - Fury 325 Is Revealed!

Finally!

Made the 2nd circuit and I missed them both :[

Hopefully a video from Carowinds is incoming. This laggy capture from the webcam shows it hauling through the course.

Its beautiful!
Here's another video!
RIP headphone users

POV!

Can't wait for mounted, lol. For the first test run, the pacing looks *great* ...I can only imagine how it'll be on a hot summer day!

I think that was mounted to one of the test dummies. Hopefully that jolt on all the hills means airtime.

Properly mounted, lol. I think it was attached to a dummy also, with all that movement.

Great POV? Idk, I don't love the layout, seems a bit repetitive, especially after the drop.

No... it totally gets repetitive before the drop (duh it would be after the drop)

My bad

Yep, that's a B&M alright.

A lot more varied layout than your numero uno, bro.

^ My layout was unique

I'll have to give you that one, I will never understate the innovation Intamin has brought the industry. Fury represents a refinement of their efforts, and will it be as intense as Skyrush or I305? No, but it will do what Millennium Force does at least as well (minus muffleheads =P).

Holy shi* that thing whips through that circuit!

Give it time to break in and weather to warm up... It's going to FLY. Definitely faster than I anticipated.

im going to have to watch the videos latter around sadly im dieing to watch the pov

That first drop is absolutely monstrous. The pacing is fantastic until the second half of the ride. I was thinking that the only way F325 will surpass MF is if it finishes just as strong, but the enormous helix kills a lot of speed. MF and especially I305 are fast from beginning to end, but Leviathan and F325 both have a certain point where the speed lets up. But Intamin has always been better in terms of pacing in that sense. But the first half, man this coaster soars through it! Another point, this coaster is just so damn visually appealing! It looks fantastic from any angle, day and night. The lighting at night adds to that. I think either this, or Wicked Cyclone takes the crown for best new coaster

I actually love the first large turn that gives "one of a kind" look!

This hauls a$$

We need coasters like this where I live! #FeelingALittleJealous

Yeah I was definitely impressed with the POV. The final hills looked like they would be give some air and that run was cold as hell, so they can only get better.

Impressive POV, went from like 4.5 to a good 6. With an actual sense of speed and forces it looks like it'll give Kumba hugs, maybe even at a classic level through the S curves. They already have an amazing B&M hyper, I can accept this being a huge centrifuge to help them stand apart.

Definitely can't argue that Fury's helix is likely to be its weakest element, but if you look at how it's cresting those last 2 camelbacks, it may still finish quite strong. I've always maintained that Leviathan's first half eats Millennium for breakfast but Millennium paces better and feels more complete with its additional length. Either way Fury looks like progress for B&M.

Edit: I do hope for Kumba hugs (I think?).
