Fury 325

 * ... that reaching a height of 325 ft and a maximum speed of 95 mph, Fury 325 will become the world's tallest giga coaster and will tie with Steel Dragon 2000 for the world's fastest giga coaster when it opens in 2015 at the Carowinds amusement park?

 * Symbol question.svg Article is sufficiently new, long enough, and within policy (neutral/cites sources/no copyvio). QPQ is done. I don't like the hook though. First of all, it is wordy and too long (well over 200 characters). Second, saying that something will be the tallest giga coaster (a dubious marketing term, which itself has a top limit) is not that interesting. The fact is dubious because there are several coasters (e.g., Tower of Terror II) which have a taller heights but are still under 400 ft. I would just say that it will be the tallest non-launched coaster and be done. IronGargoyle (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)


 * thanks for the review! Would this work: ALT1 ... that, reaching a height of 325 ft, Fury 325 will become the world's tallest non-launched roller coaster when it opens in 2015 at the Carowinds amusement park? -- Dom497 ( talk ) 20:21, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
