The Story Behind this Roller Coaster

The intense, fierce spirit of our new giga-coaster has been swelling for hundreds of years – and the swarm has been released!

"A Hornet's Nest" of Rebellion

The Carolinas has always radiated an undeniable, raw energy. It’s a pulsing, seething strength that forced the British army to retreat from battle here hundreds of years ago, calling the region a “hornet’s nest of rebellion.” This region proudly claims the “Hornet’s Nest” label and has since used the hornet’s zealous, courageous and somewhat rebellious spirit as fuel to build one of the nation’s premier cities.

Fury 325 fully embodies the same aggressive power that, like a furious hornet, just won’t let up. With heights reaching 325 feet, a staggering length of 6,602 feet and breathtaking speeds of 95 miles per hour, this 2,700-ton “hornet’s nest of rebellion” carries the same agility, bravery and passionate spirit of its hometown.
