I had my best ride ever on Fury325 today! I sat in row 3, seat 1, and I think the far right is actually better to sit in. The turns were tighter and more forceful than the on the left side. The only downside about it is that you don't get as much air on the turnaround as you do on the left. Also, lifting your legs up on the camelbacks is a wonderful idea! Thanks Trevor Bond! :thumbup:

Took my Grandpa on Fury today and he loved it, so we rode it again. He brought up a good point.. has anyone noticed the diesel engine next to the actual lift engine? We came to the conclusion that it was a back up to the lift engine encase the power went out. Were we correct in assuming this? Or is it for something else?

Hello! I'm a first time poster and these are my thoughts on fury.

I rode front row, seat 1. Front seat is one of the best ride experiences ever, and imo much better then I305's night ride front row. This was my 16th time ride and it never gets old! The first drop for me had a little airtime, and the first turn is FAST. I love the little specks of airtime on the turns leading up to the turnaround. You feel them mostly on row 3, seat 1. The way back to the station is ok. That turn right after the turnaround is a great 'rest' before the airtime hills. The trim is very noticeable, but doesn't effect the airtime to much. The double helix is just plain fun. Then, the two airtime hills... This is the perfect way to end such a great ride like this. You get some amazing airtime. Overall my favorite out of the 105 coasters I've ridden.

Something I noticed is they have a front row line now. I don't know if that has been said yet. Nor do I know how long it has been there.

Here are like, 5 pics I took. They're all cellphone quality, so don't expect much.

Gotta hand it to the crew on Saturday. They were moving the lines SO FAST that we were out of the station and at the bottom of the lift hill while the train in front of us was STILL on the lift. They were FAST; calling out times from the moment the trains entered the station. It didn't seem hurried at all... just very efficient. Awesome job guys.

Don't know about a report of a front row line. They were boarding as always, assigning rows from row 1 to the back every time I rode on Saturday morning. No preferential treatment to any row.

And as always..... the rides on Fury were AWESOME!!!!

There was a front row line on Sunday but they would only fill it to the top of the steps of the exit stairs. They said it was something they were testing out. I hope it continues.

On Saturday around lunchtime, I saw a guy looking all along the ground around the fencing of Fury between the two main entry paths into the park. The security personnel in the preferred parking lot were keeping a VERY CLOSE eye on him. Only conclusion I could come up with is he lost something on the ride.

A question (and sorry if it's been asked before but I didn't read the entire thread):

Someone told me that the Fury got stuck last week, and that it's happened a few times this season. Is this true? And if so, what happens when that happens?

(I'm not, like, worried about it, I'm just curious what they do when it does.)
