The Fury 325 roller coaster at Carowinds Theme Park, Charlotte North & South Carolina

You can get a nice view of Fury 325 from Carowind's Carolina Skytower.

After emerging from the tunnel, Fury 325 is all speed as it heads back towards the station.

The big question now is how do I rank Fury 325? Did it live up to all the hype?

Answering the second question first Fury 325 absolutely lives up to the hype. It is my new number one steel coaster? Nope, that spot is firmly held by Velocicoaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure. While Fury is not trying to kill me like Velocicoaster is, I could still spend a day happily riding Fury 325 over and over.

The difficult question is of the three B&M designed giga-coasters that I have been on which is the best? If it Fury 325, Orion, or Leviathan? Eliminating one is easy as Orion at Kings Island is nowhere near as good as Fury or Leviathan. Yes, it will anger some that I'm not in love with Orion, but that coaster leaves me wanting more out of it when you hit the brake run where Fury 325 and Leviathan leave e satisfied. Having to choose which is the best between Fury and Levi, is quite a bit more difficult so I'm just going to call it a tie between the two of them.
