Dont get me started on this seat assigning crap. I was front of the line TWICE yesterday and ended up in row 3 and 5 respectively. they'll gladly stack 3 trains of fastpassers in the first two rows. But don't DARE ask to be in the front when you are FIRST!!!!! It's a freaking TUESDAY for $@#&$ sake...

I went to the men's restroom across from Fury yesterday and there are some small shrubs to the side and people had thrown their bags there. Plus, I have seen people leave their bags in the center structure close to the Fury 325 sign. I hope they don't have anything too valuable in those bags, since that is taking a big chance.


Well that probably will become somewhat normal. It's done at Cedar Point on Gatekeeper and at Kings Island for Banshee a lot; I've done it a few times myself at CP and KI. Yea it's a big chance but 8x out of 10 it'll be there when you get back with nothing missing.

I have a cheap pair of sunglasses I don't mind losing too and a never before used strap from my job. Good stuff!!!!! I'm the exact opposite of you. I'll slide down on Friday nights after work (8 ish) and give it a few spins so I actually rode it in the day time for the first time only a week ago. I noticed your name, I marched snare drum 8 years between high school and college. I went last Wednesday when it was lightly drizzling............... WARNING the front seat is brutal!!!!!! Felt like millions of little B B guns being fired at me hahahahahaha

I ride in the front with contacts and they are perfectly fine. But rain on the other hand is not even the slightest bit fun with contacts.

Trumpet here from 7th grade through college and the occasional alumni band appearance. I've done Intimidator in the rain. I can only imagine what Fury must feel like in the rain. OUCH.
