I know but just look how much anticipation and excitement their was on the day of ThunderBirds announcement.

[CPSFMMCW]

That was cuz we'd been waiting 2 months! And we didn't know anything about the name, layout, or type of coaster. With this, we know the layout, we practically know the name, and we think we know the track color.

[TheDark8]

When is the announcement happening?

 

August 21 at 11 am Eastern time.

[rcjp]

Ok good, but why are they doing it in the morning?

Well at least it won't be in the middle of the night here (like thunderbird's)

Here's something coasterbruh posted on CC: http://carowindsconnection.com/viewtopic.php?p=61492#p61492

 

You’ve seen me before

Now you’ll see me once more…

It been said I could not be contained

Now I’m back you see

With my friends, all three

There will be no stopping my reign

 

I’ll go places you thought

One would never trot

That place will never be the same

If you seek you will find

Deep…in these lines

A clever mentioning of my name

^ points to Fury being the name.

 

And to whoever mentioned "female themed coasters," you were right. The Three Furies were, indeed, female.

[vacoaster09]

And the Furies are greco/roman mythology

Hope fully they drop the 325 on the name then. Also what color is this thing gonna be?

We've been over this. The teal and yellow is for the Carowinds Giga.

[MagnumFreak25]

wasn't their a different color B&M Giga Spine that appeared though?

[Brassinthegrass]

No, that was confused with Flyer transfer track that's going to japan!

[MagnumFreak25]

Oh ok. Was it the one that had the same color as Leviathan?

[Brassinthegrass]

That would correct!

[jarmor]

I hope all these clues, riddles and rhymes are explained once the cat is fully out out of the bag!!!

[thedazza]

The "You've seen me before" part of the riddle may relate to the Scare Maze.

 

[ThemeParkJunkie51290]

Carowinds is definitely one of my theme park visits next year! I've never been before so this new roller coaster is going to make the visit even more great!

[madsecar]

Don't you guys think the name Fury is a little boring and plain?

[MagnumFreak25]

I totally agree and I love the name Centurion though.

[TheDark8]

Track should be arriving tommorow, or today.

I think you just might be right! Why didn't I think of that...

[CJStephens15]

Someone posted this screenshot of the animation for the 2015 reveal on Carowinds Connection.

 

This is proof that the ride is not winged and is 1000000000000% a B&M.

 

Assuming that is a legitimate screenshot, how would someone have their hands on that animation? Just curious.

[rcjp]

^I thought that too. The track looks like it's the same as leviathan's first drop (track/spine combo). So, actually that detail would lead me to believe it might be authentic, but who knows.

[jarmor]

That screenshot should have never seen the light of day until thursday...that's all I'm saying on the situation...

If you want to get real picky then the rail ties on Leviathan actually goes in and then out again under the rails, I'm not sure they would do such a detail in the video.

 

But I do have a feeling that screen shot it is the real thing.

[rcjp]

^Oh, that's true. Nice catch.
