JubJester Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Seems like they are preparing to put a piece of support beam in soon. (See the live stream at https://www.carowinds.com/online-fun/webcams ) 2 Quote

thekidd33 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I can only imagine the level of precision involved when working with two cranes that size. Hats off to those that construct the thrills we all enjoy. 7 Quote
JubJester Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 That still isn't the last support beam for the lift hill/drop. (photo from https://www.carowinds.com/online-fun/webcams ) 4 Quote
silver2005 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I know its probably the angle of the camera screwing perspective up, but the track looks like it'll be to short to get to the next support. Can't wait to see this sucker topped off! 2 Quote

Merthecat Posted November 26, 2014 Author Posted November 26, 2014 Funny, from that angle, it doesn't look like the top of lift will be 325'. Just a thought, from someone who secretly wishes it was going to be taller. 5 Quote

TheBEASTunchained Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 More pieces of support columns arriving at the Fury325 lift hill site this morning as construction crews prepare for another day at Carowinds..... Still image captured from the Carowinds Fury325 Construction Cam 6 Quote
silver2005 Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Even in the Carolinas, cranes bend down in their continuous search of pennies. 8 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 It has been an interesting day for watching Fury325 construction as the tallest support column section is currently being installed which means that Monday or Tuesday, the coaster may very well be topped off at its peak height of 325 ft. 3 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 A tension cord has now been put into place on the current support column being worked on for extra support as the crews work into the evening. More pieces to this column are currently being brought quickly to the site in what looks like an effort to be able to finish early tomorrow morning / Monday morning.

The Interpreter Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Not very readable text in that color, chap! EDIT: Much better, but still a plain black is far more readable on a less than gigantic phone. 2 Quote
Kat Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Hubby and I just drove by CSF again and saw two track pieces for Fury 325 on a truck. Didn't get any photos because I would have had to trespass in order to get any photos. He's driving so I was able to turn around and see the track pieces 7 Quote
JubJester Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Another Fury325 Update: (Via Carowind's webcams - https://www.carowinds.com/online-fun/webcams ) 8 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Wow! Nice progress today! I didn't watch the cams at all because generally construction crews have Sunday off, or at least, when building coasters, it seems that they always do. The time schedule for Fury 325 erection must be very strict. 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 The time schedule for Fury 325 erection must be very strict. With the rate its going up, it feels like they'll be finishing really, really close to when it is supposed to open, especially considering how much track they still have left. 2 Quote
JubJester Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Talking about getting work done! (image from Carowinds webcams ) 10 Quote
silver2005 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Looks like they're about ready to top off the lift hill. 2 Quote
JubJester Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I found this video on youtube and I thought it was a cool interview. It is short but it has Mike Fehnel from Carowinds kind of explain the difference of the two rides and other things. Some of you may have seen it or may have already known the difference but I just wanted to share. (Video made by Brian Mitchell . I inculuded his channel link which you can access by clicking his name.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrXDDAytA04 Also it seem that there wasn't a lot of work done today on fury 325. I think those workers deserved a day off (But it did look like they started to prepare for finishing off the lift hill. (Image from Carowinds' Webcams) 6 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 @mikefehnel on Twitter: "Here is a view of Intimidator taken from #FURY325. What a view! FURY should top out tomorrow!!!"

freaks76 Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Man, that hill looks awesome. For sure will be taking a trip down there next year. 4 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Due to inclement weather yesterday, according to Mike Fehnel, the topping off of Fury325 was delayed until today. Today the ride should be topped off somewhere between 9:00 and 10:00. Stay Tuned! 325 ft....... 4 Quote
