Unveils world’s tallest coaster
Carowinds holds a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Fury 325, the world’s tallest giga coaster. The 32-passenger train climbs to the top of a 325-foot hill, which is followed by an 81 degree drop. Reaching speeds up to 95 miles per hour, the train then travels through a series of hills, curves, and quick transitions. The ride lasts about three and a half minutes.
