Fury 325, Steel roller coaster at Carowinds theme park, North Carolina, United States.
Fury 325 is a steel roller coaster at Carowinds theme park on the border between North Carolina and South Carolina. The track runs through several turns and curve combinations over a total length of more than 6600 feet (2000 meters).
In September 2013 the Charlotte City Council discussed a coaster costing about $30 million and standing 70 feet taller than Intimidator. Cedar Fair filed trademarks for Centurion, Fury and Fury 325 between October 2013 and June 2014; a beekeeper stunt with a burnt bug net teased the ride before the name Fury 325 was revealed at Harmony Hall Marketplace on August 21, 2014. The final track piece went in on January 30, 2015, and the ride opened March 28, 2015.
The ride is themed after a hornet, and the number 325 in its name refers to its height of 325 feet. During the chain lift ascent, the humming sound of a hornet is played twice, once at the start and again after a safety announcement.
The minimum height for riders is 54 inches (137 centimeters), with boarding taking place through a central loading station with multiple rows. The ride lasts about three minutes and ends at the same spot where it begins.
The track crosses the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina twice: once in a high-speed s-curve after the 190-foot barrel turn, and again on a 101-foot banked left turn. The train passes over the park's north entrance before the 91-degree overbanked horseshoe turn.
