Fury 325= Yruf 523. There it is. The worlds first 500+ coaster. And what a great name too! Yruf 523!

In all seriousness it would be pretty awesome if Carowinds got the first 500+ coaster, but my guess for next year is a 330 foot coaster named Centurion. :)

I really hope they model the station to be a replica of the roman coliseum. And have guards on both sides of the entrance with big swords. And I hope the entry sign looks something like the entrance of Goliath at sfga. That would be so cool. Also, I would really like it to be an intamin. A park does not need 4 b&ms

If the ride ends up being an Intamin and the lift is the same steepness as I305, with the recently leaked blueprints it would be over 380 feet high. I don't see that happening, I think its 99% B&M. If it is however a 380 foot Intamin I hope it uses the lift system Maverick uses instead of an unreliable cable lift.

It'd be cool to have a Splashdown brake run, into a small pond littered with giant pieces of an ancient roman statue, with big dirty bricks and the head of a large Centurion statue or a broken-off stone foot, half poking out from the water. The station itself could be a colloseum replica or just the ruins of a roman-ish structure? Who knows? (Seriously, who knows... Tell us now!!)

In all seriousness, yeah it'd be cool to get really awesome themeing for the ride, but chances are pretty slim I believe.
Although Banshee does have a good bit of themeing. Really I'm just hoping for an all around amazing experience from his coaster, and that experience does include the name/theme, it all comes together to make a memorable and awesome ride!

I'll trade you one of our 3 Hershey Intamins for one of your B&Ms...as long as I get to pick! We need an Intimidator or something up here.

^You've got Skyrush, so no need for Intimidator. You have Great Bear, which is probably about as good as Afterburn, and I know you wouldn't want Vortex. And you're joking if you think you can get our new giga! :P

Blasphemy! I'll trade you for 3 kinghippos anyway if you keep saying things like that!
