New Record Breaking Roller Coaster In Charlotte NC

yt: Here’s video of the first test run of #Fury325 at Carowinds from a riders point of view! The coaster was tested late Wednesday afternoon, March 4. Debuting this spring, Fury 325 will be the world’s tallest & fastest giga coaster. The thrill ride stands 325 feet (99 meter) tall with an 81-degree initial drop and reaches breathtaking speeds of 95 miles per hour (153 kph). Fury 325 is part of a planned $50 million multi-year expansion at the Charlotte, NC park.

Roller coaster design seems to be stuck in a loop of designing extremes (height, speed, loops, etc). While those are fun you usually end up in the position that enoch mentions, a 3 hour wait for a 1- 2 minute ride. I would much rather have a roller coaster ride with less extremes but a longer duration. A coaster ride that lasted 3-5 minutes would be much more enticing to me than this continued push for short duration extremes.

I thought the same thing until I rode Tatsu and X2 at Six Flags. They were innovative designs that make you are not in a rollercoaster, as though you are flying. The cars also split up and twist in unexpected ways. I think the real feat is to make it feel as though you are no longer strapped in. A fully weightless rollercoaster.
