I can't come to the park for health reasons and I wanna ride so bad. Anyway I love the drop on intimidator and I wanna know what the fury drop feels like? Is it intense in the back like timmy?

I've only ridden twice (hopefully 5 times by the end of tomorrow). Fury325's drop isn't as airtime heavy as intimidator's. It's more like a dive coaster drop if you have ridden one. It's steep and long and you wonder when you're going to hit the bottom. I would assume Fury in the back seat doesn't have the same pull as Intimidator due to shorter trains. So it's more like freefall.

I first rode Fury in the back row and I have to say that the first drop provides GREAT airtime in the back. You are out of your seat from the top of the drop to the bottom.
The front row is different though. You just hang there at the top for a second or so then you free fall to the bottom. The airtime isn't as forceful on the front row during the first drop though. However, the rest of the ride (in my own opinion) is very forceful in the front row. I could barely keep my eyes open.

I have only been able to ride fury two times but one was in the very back and you get INCREDIBLE airtime but the second time I sat in the middle and you don't get as much airtime so I suggest sitting in the back but then again this is a twelve year old talking so... :crazy:

I think that if you want floater air, then Intimidator. But if you want more ejector air, then Fury. But riding Fury in the very back on the first drop is great floater air, as well as the last three hills.

The first drop is long fast and extremely fun.. the only problem I had was being in the front row, my eyes watered terribly but that was because of all the speed. Now in the rain, that's a different story. Its fast and it feels like a million little needles hitting you. Just don't do it in the rain.

I agree front row is kind of like freefall. I'm not big on airtime on the first hill so I try and ride front if i can. Front gives you better airtime on the camel-backs anyway...and a helluva better view.

As to the wind in the front... Go by Wal-mart, get a strap and wear your sunglasses. (The operators try and make you take them off if you don't have a strap.) Then you can keep your eyes open and have an awesome view in the front row. (Even then you eyes will be watery by the end of the ride.) Fury in the front literally feels like you're being pushed on a runaway sled.

I agree that on the camelbacks, the front provided the best air time rather than the back. But the back for me is still the best seat for the first drop. I can't wait to ride front row again though. :)
