Carowinds just finished the turnaround just now. Looks amazing!

Fury 325's turnaround has been topped off! It's 157 feet tall and reaches a max 90 degree angle.

Wild that the turnaround is that tall. This is going to be a truly unstoppable coaster.

I hope that the banking on the turnaround turns out to be as fun of an element as it looks like in the renderings.

I just hope it isn't unstoppable. And people were worried about being on WindSeeker for 3 hours, imagine 3 days on this thing

Movin' right along, they are.

REALLY looking foreward to my first trip there.

KD, too.

And I forgot to mention: these new additions will make Carowinds Cedar Fair's 4th largest park!!!!!

NOOOOOO!

Sorry, that's just my inner KI fanboy instinct.

Isn't KI 3rd?

Uggg....

This off season has already seemed so long....

The swarm has almost completely finished flying through the double helix element......

Green track for a giga.

Why does THAT sound familiar?

Big Terpy...

U mad bro?

Nope. Not Young, either.

"Stud"-ly perhaps?

Big pythons, maybe?

The swarm is preparing to fly out of the double helix element and into the final two high speed camel back hills....

If I can make it work, I will be riding it for the first time on a Sunday mid-April, followed by a concert the next night. I'm very grateful that my best friend lives 35 minutes away from the park. I'm a bit sad that I never took advantage of this when I was in high school and college...

And......

Now the swarm begins its flight down the home-stretch!

Two high speed camel back hills and then into the break run it shall fly!

Ohhhh! Hello again 320 ft. drop! We didn't forget you!

Carowinds opens on Saturday March 28th 2015, and will be open for daily operations for the first two weeks of operation.

Ah, to know the local schools' spring break schedules.

Terp, cattily hinting like a roller nut.

I know I'm being picky about this, but how is that labeled a double helix? I only see one revolution of the track in that particular element (and its not even a full 360 degrees).

1 up, 1 down?

from @mikefehnel the Carowinds general manager

This coaster looks great. Love to have something like this come to KI eventually

So why does B&M use the 4-per-row cars for gigas rather than the 2-per hyper cars?

Capacity.

Once, they didn't.

See Diamondback, which many here (NOT me) have contemptuously called Diamondstack. Compare its throughput to, say, Nitro at NJFTP.

I thought only a certain young person called it that...

Diamondback96, who is being uncleverly cryptic.

Speaking of Diamondback, would it be possible for CF to switch to the old-style cars? Would the station have to be modified? It won't happen anytime soon most likely and probably never since it likely won't bring in any profit worth justifying the purpose, but this question is purely theoretical.
