Just one thing: please don't put ANY sand on the track! The B&M roar would be awesome with such a big coaster.

Make a splash in august for 2016. AQUA TRAX CONFIRMED!!!!!

but no ejector airtime though. unless this first drop can still have a lot of power through the 3rd hill, I don't see any ejector airtime anywhere...

 

When has B&M been known to give ejector air? Quit setting yourself up for disappointment.

[DJeXeL]

Trust me, Behemoth and Leviathan are two different rides. I get the visual similarities but they both offer different ride types. Mainly its an airtime vs speed battle.

 

Problem is, IntRimidator has no airtime!!

In all seriousness, I understand the ride experiences might vary a little but still just makes no sense to me as these coasters are not cheap and there is clearly more similarities than differences. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the park and I'm sure the GP will be all over it which is what the park is hoping for but doesn't change the fact that the return on investment will be bleak.

Wow, this is gorgeous. Everything Leviathan should've been, really - and finally giving me enough motivation to get down to Carowinds next year!

Bleak? With the worlds tallest giga coaster the return on investment will be just fine I am sure. There's more GP than enthusiasts so I am sure they will be okay.

[BlahBlahson]

Hey, Remember when B&M didn't build Millennium Force 15 years ago? Well, we finally found it!

[RCT3Bross]

announcement video isn't looking bad at all. Got me excited.

[alabardo84]

money down the drain

No. Just no.

does not make sense to have 2 identical products, just does not have it. What should I expect for the future ??? a giga / mega? only to hear them say, hey we are cedar fair, there we have longer and thicker than all !!!

[rcjp]

^^^Haha! That's true

[SFOGdude25]

This looks GREAT if you ask me! Can't wait go back! I love the way they incorporated the ride into the entrance. Way to go, B&M!

I hope so. Again, I'm happy CF is investing in expansion for the park, I really am. Doesn't take away the fact that a B&M WingCoaster would've been the better choice for the park.

It looks fantastic, love the interaction with the entrance!

[coasterlover420]

Looks like Gatekeeper and Leviathan had a baby...which isn't necessarily a good thing yeah, it's technically "unique"...but really it's not. At least it doesn't have a 3 mile long brake run!

[Woodie Warrior]

This coaster has shook up my family's travel plans for 2015. Looks to be an amazing coaster, even better than MF.

[MagnumFreak25]

This looks way better than Millennium. This park really has an amazing lineup.

About to post my video on Youtube! Be sure to check it out if you like! Carowinds 2015 "Fury 325" World's Tallest/Fastest Giga Coaster! Now I get a chance to ride the biggest giga coaster in the world in the USA!

[coasterkid124]

I wasn't expecting this to be so long and large. I think that there could be more camelbacks, but this ride looks to be built around speed. I love how Cedar Fair is also incorporating their new coasters into park entrances. Overall, this design looks really good.

[DJeXeL]

I personally think I:305 will still take the cake after F:325 is open.

[cfc]

Cedar Fair seems to be an a "new entrance" kick lately. They re-designed Cedar Point's entrance when they built Gatekeeper, too. Carowinds' new entry plaza should look pretty cool when it's done.

[rcjp]

And Carowinds will become one of the few parks with 4 B&Ms.

[SFOGdude25]

LOVE the entrance to the ride!

[DJeXeL]

I hate to be a debbie downer here...but am I the only one not that enthused about it? The turns are so spread out! The one good thing is the video doesn't really capture the speed but I guess we'll see...will hold final judgement until I ride it of course.

 

Agreed. Wes hit the nail on the head, "B&M needs to find a new cookie cutter."
