Fury 325

Fury 325 is a steel roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. The Hyper Coaster model from Bolliger & Mabillard opened as the world's tallest giga coaster on March 28, 2015. It features 6,602 feet (2,012 m) of track and a maximum height of 325 feet (99 m), making it the fourth-tallest roller coaster in the world and the tallest overall that uses a traditional lift hill. The ride reaches a maximum speed of 95 mph (153 km/h), winding through high-speed curves, passing both under and over the park's main entrance. Fury 325 was the Best New Ride of 2015 in the annual Golden Ticket Awards published by Amusement Today, and since 2016, it has consistently ranked as the world's best steel coaster in the same annual publication. A structural issue involving a steel support column was identified in summer 2023, prompting an extended closure for investigation and repairs.
