Its definitely on the same level...just amplified a good but more. This thing is fast and while its not like I305 in its transitions, it does sling you around a bit. But it all balls down to preference. I do like diamondbacks wooded environment intense helix. I also grew fond of Fury325's sideways airtime and very long layout... -

When it comes to airtime on this coaster, I have found its far more intense then any air on other beemers I have experience. The type of air on most beemers I have had is more of the floaty sensation. Where I'm out of my seat but not so much pressed up against the restraints, whereas on this coaster I felt I was slammed into the restraints over the three hills at the end,ejected out of my seat so to speak. It wasn't OMFG ejected like I have experienced on lightning run and the bunny hops at the end of S:ROS but still something I have never felt on a beamer. I know, everyone will have their own opinions and that's cool, I just hope we formulate said opinion after experiences the coaster for ourselves. I think fury makes the best statement with the bridge/tunnel... Its def the best I have ridden. In its cqtqgory if I lumped giga and hyper coasters in the same category. Its hard comparing different style coasters cause they are different...they serve different purposes... -

Guess what...I rode the coaster...quite a few times I might say. So my take on it? It is really good! The first drop is great and seems to last forever. I greyed out from the bottom of the first drop until half way up the turn. The ride has lots of force, positive and negative. I counted 7 moments of air with the last three moments, before the last pop of air into the brakes, being slightly comparable to the airtime moments on lightning run. No lie. The helix isn't as bad as it seems, not too forceful but one helluvah headchopper! Its quite a rush and the speed is FAST! I felt like I was still moving on the brake run...that it doednt crawl into. I love the coaster. Its def a front seat ride... Is this ride boring and cookie cutter...his face tells it all... -

It's amazing! I love it! Carowinds is looking great! Lol lol...are you always this happy and excited about roller coasters and theme parks? LOL! Of course! I'm a "theme park junkie!" I work as an Optician so my job is very flexible. I've been all over visiting new theme parks I haven't seen before. So far, I've visited twenty-four parks and still counting. I never visit a theme park twice. Why pay money to go back to the same park when I can use that money to visit a new park? Plus, I have no have no kids, single, and minimal bills. All my trips are paid in advance. I never wait to the last minute. I always buy the "best of best" i.g Fast Lane Plus at Cedar Fair parks. Platinum Flash Pass at Six Flags Park. If I had to add a coaster, so be it, I will pay for it. I live in the country, surrounded by trees, cows, and deer roaming all over the place. So being excited about new parks that I haven't visited yet gives me a chance to see new surroundings. So, YES, I WILL BE VERY EXCITED! I think that sums it up. LOL. yeah that does... Never visit the same park twice? That is...well...interesting... -

You don't have to wait...i'll tell you... Its gonna be a pretty sizable waterpark expansion...Think big...really BIG! Like Kentucky Kingdom big, or Kings Island big? Like Carowinds BIG! Trying to set itself away from the "like" categories... (but if it was to be compared I would think something like whats being pumped throughout all the parks lately) -

whelp........ Hate to break it to ya but they were drained in the station. The water people were seeing on the web cam was the residual water from some of the drained dummies. Still, none the least, the water flew out of those dummies quite violently! But no top popping... -
Generally speaking, most movie based attractions come out after the movie. Usually its depending on how successful the movie is or how people resonate with it. From what I "hear", some jurassic park attractions are on the waiting table. I heard they were green lit before Kong took their place. Now its just a wait and see game...
