“We are making history here at Carowinds, and creating another reason people can be proud to live in the Carolinas. The opening of Fury 325 gives Carowinds two of the 10 tallest rollercoasters in North America,” says Mike Fehnel, Carowinds vice president and general manager. “We want to be the destination for families near and far, and the debut of Fury 325 coupled with the other exciting experiences for the 2015 season puts us in the driver’s seat.”
