I know now lol. Completely ridiculous that it came on today at 12am..... Like seriously, somebody is going to be up watching that? A site had the wrong info up that it was coming at 10 Tonight. Anyway if you guys could find a link before the 26th I would be very happy. Thank you

You can buy it on YouTube from Travel Channel for $1.99. I did, worth it. Now I own it. Even though there were the very obvious "GP" type "facts" and statements in the documentary, it was still pretty well done and fun to watch.

FINALLY. At long last after many months and postponements, I had a chance to ride Fury. Fantastic ride, full of intensity and speed, and lived up to my expectations. The height, the speed, twists and turns, and unexpected airtime made it a great intense ride from start to finish. Lines were short about 10 minutes, probably due to a Monday with a threat of rain that never materialized. And the staff did an excellent job operating 3 trains and kept the line moving. Rode 6 times, and Intimidator 4 times and Afterburn twice. Although I still love the series of up and down airtime hills on Intimidator, I think I would agree Fury is the better ride. Although Intimidator is a long time favorite. And it has been too long since I rode Millennium Force to make a comparison, and have not made it to I-305 yet. But great time on Fury and an awesome addition to the park.

And love the way Fury dominates the open and expansive entrance, with the dive below. Nice clean, modern look. The Plantation House would have appeared out of place stuck in the middle of Fury as it plunges around the entrance. And with the current anti-Confederate sentiment in SC, it is a perfect time for it to be gone.

Wow thanks I might do this.

I'd just like to say how great the new entrance has turned out. Monday was my last weekly visit before I leave for fall semester and everytime I've visited this year I always admire how great it's been. It makes a statement that you are entering a "big amusement park". I liked the plantation house but it always made me feel like Carowinds was still a small park.

It is crazy to me to think that this Friday marks just one year since the Fury announcement event, and what an amazing year it has been. That event marks for me my introduction into the roller coaster enthusiast community ( other than being a member on here of course ), where I have met and befriended so many wonderful and kind people. Through a long chain of random acts of kindness by a few of the amazing people on here, that I won't delve into detail over but you know who you are :wave: :clap: , I have honestly had some of the best experiences of my life so far, this past year. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for not only Carowinds but also this crazy group of people I now call friends.

Well said, I couldn't agree more. The Fury announcement was my first coaster event ever. I know there are many more events to come. The things that people do for each other on the site are things that you don't see everyday. There are plenty of people I could thank but I would just want to thank all of you for being great coaster friends. If I don't know you I hope to get to know you sometime, maybe at future events like a park meet up or something!

So nobody knows if they are going to sell those hornet dolls again? I had wanted one. I did get a Fury mug and 2 magnets when I finally made it there 2 weeks ago.
