You guys are right. I just get fed up with all the trolls and false information that makes the park look unsafe. On the Banshee video, he said it sucked because it had 7 inversions and batman was better because 5 inversions is the correct amount :lol:

Interesting Wall Street Journal article mainly on Fury 325...

Hang Tight, Roller Coasters Are Making a Screaming Comeback
Amusement parks go to great lengths, heights to lure riders; one coaster drops thrill-seekers 32 stories

..."Not everyone is thrilled. The Fury 325 doesn’t even rate this spring’s must-ride list for Robert Niles, editor of Theme Park Insider"... <-- idiot!

The article to me was written to play down Thunder Road's removal.

"Unlike other skyscraping coasters, which use electromagnetic propulsion to launch riders like rockets from the gate, the Fury 325 carries on a century-old tradition of using a chain to haul riders up an incline, then inch them over the other side. Gra"
Forget that that that no coasters of Fury's size are launched and only the two larger coasters are.

Some of the comments on that.article.are lies. I read one that mentioned the safety "issue." It said the last time the commenter was waiting for a ride on the platform, there was an accident and several people were injured.

There have been no accidents or injuries on Fury that I am aware of.
