^^That Horseshoe Turn looks really twisty!

[Brassinthegrass]

Love it, but I can't stop my NoLimits mind wishing that 91 degree drop was actually a zero g roll back down...

 

Still excited to ride it,ms till excited to go!

[Geauga Dog]

The turnaround is looking awesome!

Why can't I have this in my backyard? This coaster is STEEL OF PURE JOY!!!

Okay... I was excited about this ride since it was announced but after looking at that last picture of the turnaround with that awesome banking I'm actually starting to take this ride a little more seriously. Before I was excited in an "Oh cool a big B&M, it won't be amazing but it should be a lot of fun" kind of way... not I feel like it has some real potential to be a stand-out ride. It's nice to see B&M try something unique.

That turn around looks pretty interesting. I wonder if it will provide some sideways floater air.

The banking on that turn around looks stunning. I cannot wait to ride this!

Judging by the speed it goes over that turn in the POV video I think riders will get a nice pop of floaty sideways air, which should be a really fun and weird feeling.

I dont even know what to say about that turnaround. Maybe its the angle, but it looks incredibly nuts. Especially knowing that it will be taken in B&M hyper trains.

That last picture really makes this turnaround look pretty awesome!

Fury continues to look even more awesome with every construction update.

Have anybody ever stayed at the Comfort Inn Carowinds hotel? I planning on staying here because of the short distance to the park. I want to know is walking to the entrance better, or just drive the loop up to the park?

[BlahBlahson]

^Just walk and save the 15 bucks for another park meal or upgrade your Fastlane. If you drive you'll save at most a quarter-mile of walking time?

Thanks! Walking it is!

[GwaziBSRider1]

Yeah...walking wouldn't be too bad. It would be nice if they reopened the south entrance since it's a shorter walk.

[coasterbill]

Holy crap, they've added a ton of new track since yesterday afternoon. They're really hauling ***.
