It's about combining elements of speed, height, and motion to provide intense thrills. Of course, the Fury 325 isn't about breaking a single record. It should not be confused with the Formula Rossa roller coaster in Dubai, which can hit speeds of 149 miles per hour, or Superman: Escape from Krypton, which has a height of 415 feet. It's being touted by the NBC affiliate WLTX as the tallest, fastest "giga-coaster" - an industry term used to describe 300-399 feet tall coasters that have a drop of over 300 feet and complete a full circuit. The full track for the Carowinds' coaster is 6,602-feet-long - also record-setting for a steel roller coaster. The roller coaster also features a 81-degree drop and peak speeds of 95 miles per hour. Its highest point is 325 feet tall, roughly 20 feet taller than the statue of liberty. Carowinds Amusement Park in Charlotte, North Carolina, just released POV footage of the new Fury 325 roller coaster, soon to be the world's tallest, fastest "giga-coaster." With heights above the Statue of Liberty and a top speed of 95 miles per hour, people are starting to wonder if it will be too scary to ride.Īccording to the Huffington Post, Fury 325 is frightening in a variety of ways.
