Wonderland used to have a sign at the start of Behemoth's queue with wait time options of 30 min., 1 hour, 90 min., and 2 hours (I think those were all right). The problem? It was never anywhere except 30 min. because the line moved so fast! Especially now that they have greeters at the front of the lines you can ask, and Fast Lane which can change the length of your wait, it doesn't make much sense to have them for most rides.


Noticed on Night Hawk They Have a sign that states "2 hour wait from here" at the beginning of the Que line that wasn't there last season.

I believe that they added that sign in sometime during last season, I remember seeing it with a friend and saying that from that spot you'd be there all day. :lol:

Well I didn't make it to the park yesterday as I had hoped. And I work this weekend. So looks like it will be another week or so before I get to ride Fury. I still have my discount ticket from work, but I am only off Monday next week, and it may be crowded because of the holiday so I don't know yet when I'll make it up there. It is 90 minutes or 2 hours drive from my location, so I can't just run right over there when the mood strikes. But it is great to keep hearing the good reviews for Fury. I guess I'll get up there eventually.

Tyler, some SC schools are going back that Monday so the crowds might not be as bad as you think. I would risk it and come up Monday anyway. Probably better than a weekend or summer week day. :-) Just a thought.

I might do that if I feel up to it. I work Sun. night 3rd shift so I may be tired. That's why I didn't go Wednesday as planned. And now being 48 I don't work all night and stay up all day as easily as I used to. But we'll see.

Everytime the stop us on the tranfer track until it's clear I always feel like we are about to be launched up the hill...that would be epic lol

Fury is fast becoming the classic puke ride I've ridden 7x today and on at least 4 rides someone has tossed the cookies smh.

Also I've noticed that the trains only squeal on that turn into the station if it's coming in slowly however if it pulls right in when there's no train already in the station is doesn't squeal because it's not being slowed all the way down

Lastly I saw big Rex chilling on the side of the palladium while on the straightway going into the first airtime hill. wonder where they plan on placing him. :think: Maybe on the mound of dirt by the toll booth.

Very good concise review. Hopefully Fury will achieve national notoriety as those other coasters have.

After I rode on media day I noticed I was slightly queasy. My stomach didn't feel normal. I have gotten the same feeling after riding Intimidator; however, this was after three consecutive rides in the back row, on a hot sunny day. I usually have a pretty iron stomach, so I would belive that many people hurling. Maybe the real Hurler will finally live up to its name if some of these people walk over after a ride on Fury.

^no doubt. I don't typically get sick, but I rode 3 times in a row last night, with a 20 minute queue break in between, and I had a queasy headache nearly the whole way home. Not many rides make me feel that way. Yup, Fury is intense. :lol:

Not to derail the thread, but if you get a headache from riding I305 you're either soft or riding it wrong. :lol:

I've never gotten a headache on i305. It too, is a great coaster and the "black-out" effect is unique when compared to the other 177 coasters I've rode. To me, Fury just blows away the others. After having ridden it in the front and rear seats, I think any seat is better than the others. Funny you would say that MF is boring... other than being a long ride, I found that true as well. I'm pleased beyond belief with Fury and can't believe we have it in our park! I can't imagine how we'll top this, but you never know.
