Carowinds 2015 - Fury 325 Is Revealed!

Damn!

Yeah this thing is definitely pacing well enough to deliver good strong floater those last few hops. Nice to see some 1080p video from so close!

Loud ride is loud.

It looks even faster in this video! It seems much faster towards the end when it crests that airtime hill than in the POV in some reason. I misjudged the pacing in the test run POV, and it looks great now. It also looks very pretty from an offride POV in 1080p. I really am liking every part of this coaster, and I can already say that B&M has knocked it out of the park with this one.

cant watch the video the owner made it private -_-

I underestimated how fast it goes thru the layout!
Everything impress me, all except the helix-like element after the airtime hill. It still looks like a "why!!". hopefully it has some forces on it.

Still not with the sideways airhill. Rather have had strong air there but much more solid than it first looked

These are still the first test runs though. Brand new wheels cause higher friction, thus a faster loss of speed. Give the wheels a few weeks of wear and tear and I'm pretty sure that the helix will run a lot faster.

^watch on opening day its the same exact speed

On opening day it hasn't had "weeks of wear and tear", Just the occasional test ride. The proper wear and tear starts when the ride is officially opened.

Even in the rendering the helix was slow (Though that's irrelevant when talking about the actual coaster). I have a feeling even after the ride breaks in it will be the weak link in the track, because it's just too big and too late in the layout.

The video I shared above (Now marked as private and can't watch) showed how much faster the ride has already picked up. Like Dirk said, give it some wear and tear it'll be much faster. The ride is already running faster than the animation.

When Tatsu was testing, it ran alot faster due to the types of wheels they were using at the beginning of testing. They changed them, and the ride ran alot slower.
Just saying, the ride can also be slower when it opens.

First human riders have completed the circuit!

I bet it was AWESOME!

Anyone know if they'll be adding green lights to the under-entrance tunnel?

[TTD03]

I really hope they do, that would look awesome!
Reminds me of the blue lights on top of the Keyholes on GateKeeper, those look awesome at night!

F325 has the potential to be one of the best night coasters on the planet. Fantastic look, fantastic speed, and fantastic lighting. If I ever go down the Carolinas to ride this, I'm doing it at night

Sorry for the double post, but...

Spin-off development, however, is not the only thing in the mix. Carowinds vice president and general manager Mike Fehnel said Thursday the park plans another "sizable investment" announcement at the end of this year's season.

Let the speculation begin. [Again]

^Which is widely believed to be waterpark improvements, and frankly I couldn't be bothered to give a flying {redacted}.

At the Fury announcement they said 2016 would be an announcement that would "Make a Splash". So, AUQATRAX CONFIRMED!!!!!#*%!#^%#!!$&!!
