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

 

Yeah, kind of bad taste if he's doing this just to stroke his own ego.

I just looked at the Leviathan animation, It doesn't even show a thicker spine on the drop so that screen is probably a fake and made in NL2.

Why do people still doubt he-who-must-not-be-named?

[Diamondbacker27]

He's probably doubting him, because how would he get his hands on that? Tons of people lie in this World, he could have easily made it himself. But, no one really so knows if it's real or not. Every has their own opinion.

[MagnumFreak25]

The only reason I doubt that is the fact that I could make that in Nl2 in 20 minutes! Plus the fact that the ground texture is sooo ugly. If it is real it looks like a really fun ride though.

Have you guys seen this? I think this is the real deal! Actual name and logo!

[A113]

Really cool logo, where did you find it, though? Source?

[CPSFMMCW]

^ found it on twitter via screamscape.

[VF15]

^^

Looks like a cool logo. I like it better than the proposed Centurion logo, but I'll be fine with whatever they end up naming the ride.

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!

 

Carowinds is a great little park that is getting bigger and bigger .

 

I don't understand why people have an issue with "Fury" as a name. I think it is a great name, and says a heck of a lot more about the ride than the word "Centurion" (which I did not dislike at all.) "Fury" speaks about an emotion and a state of mind, while "Centurion" speaks about a soldier to me.

 

Oh well - to each their own.

Who do we have on our forums that lives within a couple of hours driving distance to Carowinds?

¥et another Cedar Fair coaster where practically every detail is released a few days before.

 

Well I guess the announcement will be interesting just to see how they pull off a themed plaza/area for Fury 325 since that's the only information that hasn't been leaked.

[Intimidator305]

Glad to see the track has arrived.

I know right? Makes me wonder if it is a method to get people buzzing and create more interest.

 

Maverick was leaked early, Banshee blueprints were leaked early and now Carowinds. They are not doing a good job keeping the information in trusted hands!

[DJeXeL]

^^Well that solves that.

[Atter]

That logo looks super cool! I just wish the 325 wasn't there.

[Invertalon]

I agree... I don't like the use of numbers in a ride name... Intimdator 305... Magnum XL-200... Fury 325... But it's not that big of a deal.

[jarmor]

Could there be a regular fury, without the numbers in the works???

[Dom497]

I KNEW IT!

 

That logo was leaked the EXACT same way Wonder Mountain's Guardian was leaked. I was looking at Carowinds CSS page every morning, I just forgot to do so this morning!

body.swarm-microsite{ background: #000000 url(/images/structure/bg-body-swarm.jpg) no-repeat top center; }

 

The second picture (which was likely the logo) is no longer active (Carowinds obviously took it down). The first picture is the background of the logo picture that has already posted pretty much confirming that the name of the coaster will be Fury 325.

 

EDIT: Could Swarm be the real name?

That Fury 325 logo looks legit.

[rcjp]

Glad to see the track has arrived.

After taking a closer look, I quite like the colour scheme.

Hi! But I can't go down there right now

[coastercoaster5]

It all makes sense. The Charlotte Hornets are back this year so the logo makes sense.

[_koppen]

I actually saw the ride logo earlier today, I don't know why but I just assumed it was something a fan made.

 

Now when I hear how it was leaked it's probably the real thing.

[The Geek Mojo]

I may be in the minority here, but I like Fury 325. I think it sounds badass.
