Tried to get it up on here but the youtube embedding thing won't work for me.

:shock: Okay, THAT needs to be banned in all 50 states for being too awesome! I NEED that in my life! I literally just has an infamous "Jarrett goon fit" in my room watching that!
Sadly, I think a few things about this video could be wrong. First, the name. I know the Centurion trademark got suspended but I could see them going with another Roman name. Second, the colors. I think it's established that the yellow track is for China, given the rendering of the Chinese park with the yellow flyer and the yellow track being marked "LC," which could be "Laying Coaster." If anything I'm fairly sure Leviathan's labels weren't marked LC. I think by process of elimination, the only two track sets left unclaimed are the royal blue and teal ones. I'm pretty sure the royal is for Holiday World and teal seems to follow Cedar Fair's recent trends of front end coaster colors (Leviathan and GateKeeper are good examples as stated earlier). However, the biggest things I disagree with from that rendering is the elevation. I don't think it'll be as low to the ground and "I-305-y" as it suggests. B&M isn't one to do ground-hugging high-speed turns, I think most of the twisting here will be in the form of a Leviathan-esque speed hill or an Intimidator-esque rise into a circular dip (such as that larger loop at the end).
However, that's a great video and better than I could have ever done, so I applaud whoever made it. I've got the [strike]trained monkeys[/strike] design team helping me make my rendition of the plans in NL2.
I do have to say I think this Fury 325 name is ruled out (thankfully) due to the amount of Roman theming used in the marketing so far. My initial reaction was something branded like GateKeeper when I heard it but with all this Roman theming, it sounds unlikely to slap on a generic name like Fury 325. The only thing I can think of that could save this name is that the word Fury has Latin roots. Maybe in the logo we could be looking at a majority of it being the word "Fury" and the 325 in Roman numerals (CCCXXV) written on a stone slab below it. It seems plausible that they would go with this name but I personally wouldn't put money on it. As for what the trademark could be for, I had two guesses. The first would be a (very, VERY unlikely) drop tower mounted to TTD that's 325 feet with a vertical drag racing theme. I highly doubt this because I see almost no reason for them not to make it higher and there's literally no preparation for it as of now. The second (far more likely) theory to come out of my twisted little mind would be for some kind of surrounding building. Dollywood called Wild Eagle's shop Eagle's Flight Outfitters, which I had always assumed to be a play on the American Eagle Outfitters clothing brand/store. Could this be a play on other clothing brands/stores with numbers in their names such as Rue 21? Both theories are somewhat far-fetched but I wouldn't be Jarrett without the far-fetched theories.
