Fury 325, the world’s tallest and fastest giga coaster, debuts in Charlotte, NC.

Fury 325, the tallest and fastest giga coaster in the world, crests the top of the lift hill and dives right into its first drop at an astonishing 81-degree angle. Fury 325 is also the longest steel roller coaster in North America.

Riders on Fury 325 take a 95-mph wild ride inspired by the flight of the hornet. The three-minute, 25-second ride thrills riders with quick transitions, copious amounts of airtime and a high speed curve right over the park’s new main entrance!

After Fury 325’s open air trains careen over the main entrance, they immediately climb into a towering turnaround featuring a 91-degree overbanked horseshoe turn. Riders feel a moment of weightlessness just before they dive into an underground tunnel.

The feeling of freedom is the claim to fame on Fury 325’s open air trains. Three, 32-passenger fiberglass and steel trains can accommodate 1,470 riders per hour on its 6,602 feet of steel tubular track.

Fun. Terrifying. Amazing. Unbelievable. They’re just some of the words used to describe Fury 325, the world’s tallest and fastest giga coaster at Carowinds. Just after the ride’s massive first drop, the train maneuvers into a 190-foot-tall barrel turn.

Taller than the Statue of Liberty, Fury 325 commands the attention of all thrill-seekers above the Carolinas at Carowinds. The massive first drop, angled at 81 degrees, is the very first time riders feel the speed and power of this record-breaking giga coaster.

The sting of Fury 325 intensifies when darkness falls. The sensory lighting and special effects add to the experience of conquering Carowinds’ newest steel scream machine when the sun goes down!
