I always thought it looked like a nice airtime ride but I would definitely consider it the worst of all of them. If you can call it the worst of anything.

It looks like a scaled up steel force (which is a fun ride, but not quite the same as the others).

Well it is a scaled up Steel Force, so ya it looks very similar.

Now there's an interesting statement. Personally from off-ride I'd say Fury's layout looks much more advanced and exciting than Steel Dragon's. SD has a lot of long, drawn-out sections where not much seems to be happening.

I think you've forgotten how many people on this thread complain about B&Ms.

 

I'm not the biggest B&M fam myself, but I have to give credit where it's due. I honestly think this layout looks pretty sweet. Possibly better than Millennium Force.

I heard that when Afterburn/Top Gun was built, it was to have a Godzilla name/theme before Roland Emmerich f'd it up. Does anyone know what the name/theme would have been after the sell to Cedar Fair?

If Top Gun/Afterburn was themed to Godzilla, Cedar Fair would have to name it "The Beast"!

Or they could have named it Godzilla.

How about they build a mirror image of Afterburn, and name the ride complex Godzilla Vs MUTO.

There's images of track and construction over at Carowinds Connection if anyone hasn't seen.

[Aceattack52]

^ I just checked out some of those construction pictures; things look great. I can't wait for more track to appear!

It would have probably been one ugly looking coaster, it's strange Green is one of my favorite colors, but I think it's atrocious looking on most coasters, I could just imagine a Godzilla Green coaster.

Tony Clark must be crying right now.

^Raptor looks beautiful and so does Hydra. Most B&M's are photogenic (with the exception of Nitro).

Um... Nitro is one of the most photogenic coasters in the country (IMO).

What's your problem with Nitro?

[El Toro_Ryan]

Nitro looks photogenic to me. (But it needs a fresh coat of paint!!)

[tarheel1231]

My problem's not with the coaster, it's just the paint job. I hope one day Six Flags re-paints it.

[Sharman19]

Same thing here, Nitro has one of the worst color scheme's I've ever seen. And Mantis is just one step closer to having Nitro's colors. But every B&M is photogenic in my opinion.

Originally I didn't like nitro's colours too but for some reason I now think they're fine. Oh, and I really like Mantis' scheme.

[CPmillenia94]

^Mantis, most beautiful color scheme. So simple yet so effective!

[MagnumFreak25]

I really hat Nitro's supports. They look like someone designed them in rc3

[rcjp]

^They do look quite odd but I actually love them. Just different an BIG

[Sharman19]

Don't worry, B&M would kill themselves if they went with these.

[RyanTPM]

Carowinds Connection seem to be providing regular construction updates, theres another one over there if anyone hasn't seen it. Work is still continuing on the footers
