Day 2: Carowinds, Where the Carolinas Meet

The Fury 325

Day 2 consisted of a visit to Carowinds, an amusement park where the Carolinas come together.  It was a great day!  We had so much fun.  In fact, Mallory was having so much fun that she didn't ask for something to eat until around 4pm!

My brother in law, Gary, and I rode the Fury 325.  Here is how the website described it: 

Feel The Sting on the world's tallest and fastest giga coaster - Fury 325! Riders begin their adventure on one of three 32-passenger, open-air trains to the peak height of 325 feet - following a dramatic 81-degree drop. Then, like an angry hornet chasing its target, riders race into a massive 190-foot tall barrel turn and a high-speed S-curve reaching speeds of up to 95 mph.

Just above the front entrance of Carowinds, riders experience an astonishing 91-degree overbanked horseshoe turn, and then take the "HIVE DIVE" underneath a pedestrian bridge, swarming at full force into the back half of the ride, through a high speed banked curve, camelback hill and an intense double maneuver.

Fury 325 is North America's longest steel coaster, and is over 1.25 miles long. The average ride time is 3.25 minutes, and the ride crosses both North and South Carolina state lines. Fury 325 does not let up during its full throttle swarm!
