RE: Trip Report Central - James_Fan_1886 - Mar 30, 2015

Awesome! If I don't make it to Carowinds sometime during my spring break this week, I'm probably gonna go this summer for Fury 325!

RE: Trip Report Central - Blu - Mar 30, 2015

I didn't ride it, the ride was too long. First day.

RE: Trip Report Central - Blu - Apr 5, 2015

So I went back today, rode Fury this time and took a lot more pictures. It's an absolute beast. It really doesn't feel real when you're riding it, it's like you're in a dream.

Anyway, here's the new entrance.

How long was the wait on fury?

RE: Trip Report Central - Blu - Apr 5, 2015

About 2 hours. Worth it.

RE: Trip Report Central - James_Fan_1886 - Apr 8, 2015

This time I forgot to take my camera and my phone with me so no pictures, sorry :P But anyways, this is a late report. While I was still in Florida, I went over and visited Busch Gardens Tampa. I got there around 9:15-9:30 so I would beat most of the rush. Once I got into the park, I headed straight for SheiKra. The queues were good that day, probably because I went last Thurday, and I got 4 rides on before the lines were at least 90 minutes. Then with the larger crowds coming in, I rode Scorpion and I loved that classic Schwarzkopf coaster! I loved riding in the front, because I just got a good feeling of sensational G-Forces, if that's a thing. Once 11:30 came around, I got my lunch still in the Pantopia area where Scorpion was located. The food was very fresh, it tasted pretty good! Then I got to ride Falcon's Fury while everybody was having lunch, one of the benefits of having lunch at 11:30 :P The lines were still 25 minutes long, but definitely not as long when I was heading for Scorpion Wink It was a very cool experience! I have always loved drop towers, but facing down was amazing! Then we headed back to Scorpion because the lines had gotten like 3 times longer when we got off the ride. Then I came upon the Egypt area and headed for Cheetah Hunt. It was pretty cool riding my first Intamin Accelerator coaster for the 2015 amusement park season! Since I was exhilarated once I got off, I wanted to go on something slow, and rode Air Grover at Sesame Street Safari of Fun :P Since we were up there, I got 1 ride back on SheiKra because of 2 hour lines, and walked back to the Congo section to ride Kumba! I got on and it was a very fun ride. A little rattle on the interlocking corkscrews, but was still good. Probably because I rode in the 6th row, because it had the shortest line wait Rolleyes I headed back to Scorpion for the 4th time that day to avoid the long lines, and went back at about 6:00 to ride Kumba in the front seat and it was so much better than the 6th row Biggrin But what sucked is that when we went to Montu, it was broken down so I sadly couldn't ride it Frown I was still happy for a fun day, and excited to go another time! Goodbye Tampa Nerd

Busch Gardens Tampa = my home park Smile I'm rather surprised the lines were that long though, the longest wait of the day is usually Cheetah hunt and that never really gets above 45 min. Sheikra is usually about 30 min. Most everything else is usually less than 10 minutes, even falcons fury. Since I have passes I usually just go for a few hours and leave by around 3, so I guess I'm just missing all of the crowds. I hope whatever they are building in the Egypt section can boost their popularity because right now I dont think they are doing too well... Frown Sucks that Montu was broken though, in my opinion its the best ride in the park and one of the best B&M inverts out there.

RE: Trip Report Central - James_Fan_1886 - Jun 23, 2015

I went to Carowinds on Saturday the 20th! This is my report now.

Of course, I went to Fury first Biggrin
[Image: Fury15-600x450.jpg]

The Hive, Fury's official gift shop had cool merchandise! I'm personally one for magnets, so I bought a Fury magnet.
[Image: Fury3-600x450.jpg]

I took this B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L photo of Fury right before I got in line!
[Image: Fury14-600x450.jpg]

I hear a number called over the loudspeaker. “44.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out that the 4th seat in the 4th row was being called, which was presently occupied by me. In the photo, one of my friends took the pic, the arrow is pointing at me.

Oh man, I loved the coaster! I didn't love it enough for it to be my favorite, Kumba is still my favorite. But the first drop is amazing, it's intense with tremendous speed, and it has wonderful airtime!

Lol I saw him holding his camera!
[Image: EMj69Z3.jpg]

Stop taking avacado photos of me!
[Image: blFqDU0.jpg]

After that, I went on Fury again in (according to loudspeaker) "51", so I was in Row 5, seat 1 with all my friends again.

Random photo of the drop Wink

Then I had lunch! Sorry, no photos of the food.

After lunch, the first ride we went on was Vortex.

While it was a good ride for a stand-up, it was a little too rough for me Frown

It was a hot day (80 degrees, not a single cloud in the sky), so I seeked some wind. I guess you could guess which ride I did next lol

I went to Thunder Road, but forgot it closed Rolleyes

Guess which ride I head to now?
[Image: xgDIte.jpg]

If you guessed Afterburn, you are right! Biggrin
[Image: 30qa592040001jhe0gf000.jpg]

It's an awesome, awesome ride!

Before Fury 325, Intimidator took the cake for this park. Didn't go on it before this, haven't been here since summer 2009!
[Image: Q82WHe.jpg]
I think it's an awesome ride.

Nighthawk had short lines, so we rode it.
[Image: XFW5Km.jpg]

Again, kinda obvious that I have no dinner pics Wink

After Dinner, I abandoned 25 bucks for a not-so-great experience Frown I wish Carowinds allowed refunds.
[Image: DgTad2.jpg]

Dat overbank doh! I got my third ride on Fury before leaving

All in all, it was another great day at one of my last times at a U.S. amusement park before I move to England in 10 DAYS!!! It's coming up so fast! Thanks for reading my report Smile

Yes... Montu is totally the best ride in the park!

You still in Charlotte or have you left?
