So I went to Kings Dominion yesterday and rode I305 making my American Giga trifecta complete for this season. I have to say that Fury 325 is by far the most enjoyable of the three!!! Riding all three in the same season you can really compare them easier. Fury leaves the rest in the dust!!!!
1. Fury 325
2. Millennium Force
3 Intimadator 305

I was there. Fury was open all day.... EXCEPT... a MAJOR storm came through at 5:30 or so and everything shut down for well over an hour. Intimidator opened back up first and my daughter and I were able to ride front seat. We left right after that and most of the coasters were at least testing by then although I did not see Fury running when I left. I'm sure it was due to the storm.

Yesterday, my wife, daughter and I arrived at Carowinds early enough to get the first ride on train 3 of Fury at 9:30. We rode 3 times back to back to back. If there’s no one in your row, you can stay on so, since we were in row 2 the first ride there were obviously people waiting. So, for rides 2 and 3 we rode row 5. We had 3 people so we didn't displace this older lady in the far seat of that row. We rode back to back in that row without getting off. When we did get off, she stayed on again. She said “front row is the best” and I agree with her. She was wearing a little blue gardening hat. I asked her how it stayed on and she demonstrated how she rode… with her left hand on the hat and her right hand on the grab bar. LOL. She was a hoot. I know she rode back-to-back at least 4 times... probably more. Just neat that someone of that age has a season pass and enjoys intense roller coasters that much. Kudos for her. I hope I’m still able to ride it when I’m that age.

We had to leave Fury so we could catch the first train of TR for the day, which we did.

Maybe that lady is someone on here. If so, it was GREAT riding with you!!

Alright so I've been on this ride well over 50 times and idk if anyone else has asked this yet but has anyone noticed a killer vibration on the ride? I didn't notice it until I had been on it a bunch of times. It usually gives me a stupid bad headache.
#81673
I'm glad someone brought that up because Fury was uncomfortably rough yesterday. It might have been a matter of where I was sitting but I remember walking off with a mild headache. I didn't mention it out of fear of looking like a douche.

To be completely honest, Fury has always kind of given me a headache. I mean, I still got back in line to ride it like 5-7 times in a row on my first day though.. haha. I really didn't like Row 4, it seemed rougher for some reason than the others so far. Though I haven't been on it enough to say for sure which row or seat is best.

I said this last night and I'll say it again: If Fury gives me a headache now, I have no idea how I'm going to keep riding roller coasters when I'm an old person :crazy: (like you guys) :P :P
