July 28, 201412 yr "iF" Rougarou is the name of Cedar Point's 2015 ride, Centurion the name of Carowinds new coaster. What park will Fury 325 (new trademark) go and what do you think it will be?
July 28, 201412 yr We have no idea what the name of Carowinds new coaster will be. As pointed out on Carowinds Connection (A forum like this but for Carowinds) the Furies were minor female divinities which the Romans believed in. Carowinds seems to be throwing out a Roman theme so Fury 325 or Centurion would both fit. I guess we will just have to wait until VIII.XXI.MMXIV to find out.

July 28, 201412 yr Hmm, that's a connection I hadn't made before. After having a haunted house called "Fury" about chemically-strengthened soldiers, I just envisioned any potential coaster called "Fury 325" to have toxic green track and an industrial warehouse station full of pipes and tubes (which would be Cedar Fair's way of carrying on the dark, Haunt storyline). Using the Furies from mythology is a cool alternative. That said, if they're going for the ancient Roman mythology in a new ride's name, Centurion fits the bill in a much bolder and more impressive way to me. Rougarou, I'm not crazy about. Maybe as a Haunt that can appear this year and be gone next year, but as a permanent attraction that's sort of a mouthful, and not in the "at least it rolls off the tongue" kind of way.
July 28, 201412 yr Off topic but wanted to post it so I was waiting for someone to mention Scooby talking lol
July 28, 201412 yr Author There are 2 known projects (CP and Carowinds) 3 trademarked names. There is still a Cedar Fair 2015 we don't know about.... Valleyfair is said to be an under utilized park for the area it serves, same for Great America. Knotts was rumored for years to have a giga project in the works.
July 28, 201412 yr Who says Fury 325 has to be coaster? It could be the future name of a Drop Tower (although unlikely) or some other large thrill ride.
July 29, 201412 yr Wait I must have missed something, what do we know about CP 2015? I'm well aware of Carowinds, just not CP.
July 29, 201412 yr ^Yeah I suppose flipping over and almost drowning could be considered thrilling, among other things.
July 29, 201412 yr What, it is thrilling. Depends what your thrill tolerance is. Is Race For Your Life Charlie Brown a thrill ride? Or a family ride? Kings Island's flume ride. Cedar Point's flume ride. One of those rides goes significantly faster than the other, altogether...
July 29, 201412 yr Author CP's new ride is for teenagers and thrill speakers. Not a family ride according to Tony.
July 29, 201412 yr If any of you watch Coaster Studio's videos, he made one concerning what might come to Cedar Fair parks in 2015. If my memory serves me right I believe he said something about turning the arcade building into a ride like Guardian at Canada's Wonderland. I would be cool with that.
July 29, 201412 yr ^ NO! NOT THE ARCADE! I could spend hours in that arcade if I wanted to. Don't get rid of it!

Just a guy with a Youtube page talking about possibilities, rumors.
July 29, 201412 yr There are very reputable sources here--they just don't talk--or they engage in diversions. One even posted about Banshee, by name, a year before it was announced. That cryptic post went by, unnoticed...well except by a certain bald headed gentleman...
July 30, 201412 yr Is there any reason why CP couldn't use the Pirate Ride building for a new dark ride? Blue Streak deserves more attention than what it gets.
July 31, 201412 yr There are very reputable sources here--they just don't talk--or they engage in diversions. One even posted about Banshee, by name, a year before it was announced. That cryptic post went by, unnoticed...well except by a certain bald headed gentleman... Can anybody direct me to this post? Does it still exist? I am interested to see it and try to remember what I thought of the discussion at the time
