Carowinds | Fury 325 | B&M Giga Coaster

[Jarrett]

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

This probably means an underground tunnel somewhere in the layout, possibly into/out of the hammerhead.

Watch them make the coaster 305 feet tall, and the drop be 325 feet, with a tunnel 20ft under ground....Just so it wouldn't pass MF as a taller coaster. :drinking:

That would actually be pretty sick. I rode Leviathan and it's now my #3, so needless to say I found it amazing. The drop is fabulous, the forces through the speed hill, that headchopper into the awesome hammerhead, and the high speed turn on the way back are all absolutely insane! And it was far too short! This looks to be Leviathan's bigger, badder cousin! And if that's what it is, I could see B&M taking back my #1 spot.

Honestly wont know till thursday, they leaked that image the same manner people found out about banshee could be another false clue like the centurion site.

Its usually nice to site your source.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

Friends facebook page under a discussion between the two ride logos already shown.

So....unknown source posted onto facebook. Most likely TPR though.

We have a supposed logo.

If you didnt know, Carowinds sent nets and bee keeper outfits to major news sources 2 weeks ago.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

It's great that this will be 325 ft because that will make it the tallest giga coaster in the world beating Millennium Force (310) and Steel Dragon 2000 (318).

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

We don't know how tall this will be untill tomorrow.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

I have to go meditate now to forget about such a horrible name on an awesome-looking coaster...

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

Oooo pretty track.

Cedar Fair has been on a good logo streak since Hydra - though this one does look a bit lackluster.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015

If true, by far not worst name in past two years alone, and I actually like the logo. Love the Twp tone track too.

Re: Carowinds | Unknown 2015
