To anyone who've ridden Fury 325, Any thoughts on it? Does it make it to your Top 5? Whats the best seat to have the best exp on that ride? Keep calm and enjoy that Ejector Air time!!
I have 3 laps on Fury 325 so far, and overall, I'm pretty impressed.
Let me first just say what a pleasure it is to be at a park where they actually care about capacity. The ops have been really pumping out trains today, so that even with roughly a 2 hour wait, the line never stops flowing.
The first half of Fury is very impressive. The first drop is breathtaking, and the speed through the first turn around and banked twists are flat out out stunning. I really thought this might end up as the best damn B&M speed coaster ever built. After the drop underneath the entrance however, Fury becomes a pretty basic B&M hyper. Longer drawn out transitions and floaty airtime hills. Not a bad thing per say, but I was hoping for really fast, low to the ground turns, and at least one ejector hill. Those moments never come though, so what you have is one half GREAT coaster, and a pretty good second half. Overall though, a winner for Carowinds. If Dollywood comes up with an amazing 2016 addition, I'll certainly make another trip.
My Giga rankings:
I305 Millennium Force Fury 325 Leviathan Steel Dragon
Nice review Magic - I did wonder about the reports of the ride having ejector time being true. I just can't see B&M changing significantly from their tried and tested formula on such a big landmark project!
