^ thanks. i like how B&m is theming their coasters stations now. Fury Station is gonna be bad a**. Banhsee's station is sick as well. Wondering whats in store for the next coming years, wonder if B&M will put another good coaster in at Carowinds and KI in the near future

B&M doesn't theme the stations....that's entirely up to the park.

That train is seriously sleek!! But is it me or is the front bumper on the zero-car strangely dirty already?

You're not the only one. I'm sure they'll clean it off before March 25th, media day (get it, 3/25? )

That train looks great!

[nicman]

That car is probably my favorite B&M traditional hyper coaster cars!

 

It looks so good!

^Me too. By the way, those running wheels look massive!

[CPmillenia94]

^Should provide a very smooth ride!

For a ride as fast and long as Fury 325, I expected them to be a little larger. Have you seen Steel Dragon's? They are probably the biggest running wheels I have ever seen (from the new B&M trains)!

My daughter loves the yellow color on the wheels...

Great Fury325 pictures:

Once again, that is ridiculously massive!

[Brassinthegrass]

Massive, and clearly going to haul ass through the course. Got I can not wait for my summer trip!

Carowinds put this picture up on their Facebook page yesterday.

 

This looks amazing!

I also find them interesting. When riding shambhala I sent some time observing the wheels. I know, it's very nerdy

Its hard to tell from that angle if these trains will have seat belts. Anyone know if that has been announced? I know most other B&M hypers don't have them, but times are a changing. I apologize if I'm asking a question that has already been answered and also for opening/re-opening this can of worms.

Has it been announced? Not that I am aware of. However, looking at some of the photos it looks like they might have seat belts. Then again it could just have been something sitting in the seat. Take a look: (Source) Also, if you look at the close to the end of this video, and look at the left seat you can see what appears to be a red, or orange seat belt.

I think I can see seat belts in those pictures. I'm not sure if they've said either way.

[jarmor]

Yes, all the trains will have (as it shows on this one) seat belts...

[thrillseeker4552]

Does Leviathan have seat belts? If not, it's a little weird that Fury 325 will have them. I thought Cedar Fair only added them to their v-train hyper coasters.

A seatbelt is very visible here.

 

Honestly, I rode Diamondback shortly before and shortly after the addition of seatbelts, and it really didn't affect the ride experience for me.

It was conformed that Leviathan would be getting seat belts for 2015 a few months ago.
