Mako down at Sea World Orlando is still my favorite hypercoaster but Intimid, er, Thunder Striker was still worth 3 laps on my recent visit to the Carolinas. (I'm not even trying to create a new Yelp listing for the rebrand but somehow the Thunder Striker identity seems lacking compared to its former incarnation as the Intimidator. Raise Hell and Praise Dale!) I probably would have found myself Thunderstruck more but nothing in this more than decent park stacks up to the fantastic Fury 325.

This is one of those coasters that doesn't go upside down it just drops curves and speeds across an extensive length of track pretty much you start off high up and just race the whole thing and back making for a thrill each time you try it! They have bins at the top of the station for you to leave your items in wile you ride it's kinda nice because the staff shuts them wile your riding as they have a few bins mostly to separate your items from the next train so you don't have to worry too much about leaving your items behind wile you ride. This coaster is super fun and just an awesome experience for anyone who enjoys rides that go super fast and really high up because they run a few trains at a time the line moves kinda quickly so you won't be chillin for that long until you get to ride! Overall this is an awesome Coaster that I believe is just as fun as the Fury even though it's a bit different in it's own kinda way being it's named after a race car icon even though you pretty much forget about that wile on the ride as your hitting those high speeds and tight turns around the awesomeness that is Carowinds!

This five acre park features a full-court basketball court, an open multi-purpose field and a decent playground. The park is fenced and shares one side with the cemetery so it's very quiet despite being adjacent to I-77. I enjoyed my time here. [Review 12981 overall, 298 of 2020.]

We asked for a couple hints and they were very helpful! 2) We loved the decorations! They were really cool! It was very immersive! 3) We escaped! (Barley lol) ( I think we had 1 min left ) (You can find our chip in the escaped box lol) 4) You really had to use your brain and your whole team! We all added different ideas/thoughts! Everything was needed! It really pushed us to our limits lol 5) We would definitely recommend! We will probably do another escape room from this place! Great experience!

Our family loves escape rooms so were SUPER excited to have one open right here in Harrisburg!…read more Perfect timing with their opening, so we brought 10 13-year olds for a birthday outing. Plenty of parking, right off Highway 49 near the Robinson Church Rd intersection. Decor is clean and well-thought out. There is currently one room, with two more in the works. Theme was great for both the experienced kids and the first-timers. They received just enough help to get out of the puzzle with 2 minutes to spare. It's a great place to spend time with friends thinking! Come out and support local business-we'll be back for sure!

The track is in great shape. All the turns are paved and the track is well kept. They are doing a great job recruiting new riders and hosting new rider clinics.

They have a rental bike and helmet program at the track so you can try the sport out without investing a lot of money. Enjoy Riding, The Careys

Fury is basically the sole reason I chose Carowinds over Dollywood on my trip back from Florida and…read moreit was every bit the bucket list coaster I expected it to be. WOW! I don't usually spring for Fast Lane either but seeing how it was Saturday and Opening Day where The Carolinas Come Together I shelled out mainly with this magnificent mechanical monstrosity in mind. I got in seven rides on this beautiful beast. Carowinds doesn't let you choose what row you want to ride but the luck of the draw eventually rewarded me with both the front and back rows. Front is very scenic. Carowinds still had some skeleton from Halloweekends laying on the ground at the end of the veeery looong first drop which was a nice touch. Front row had my eyes watering like crazy from all the air rushing by at such high speeds. It took several rides before I got anywhere near the rear of the train but when I did I landed in the very back row and Jesus Murphy! The way that train yanks you over the crest of the lift hill had my heart in my throat! That first drop is a doozy. I couldn't get enough of it. Nor of the rest of the ride. The huge overbanked turns, the airtime hills, the flyover and flyunder of the concourse leading to the park entrance, just the overall speed - Fury is the complete package. That tunnel under the walk up to the main entrance is so much better and more dramatic than Gatekeeper's keyholes up at Cedar Point, which doesn't seem like it should be the case since they're so cool looking and unique but this coaster is much faster, bigger and better. What a way for a park to announce itself. Fury is also much better than Cedar Point's giga coaster, Millennium Force. Better pacing and elements and you really feel those extra few feet in that first drop even if it lacks that beautiful Lake Erie setting. Because of this the Cedar Point fanboy in me is glad that Carowinds has nothing like Top Thrill 2. (Which I haven't ridden yet though I've been on its predecessor.) After 7 rides on Fury I'd place it as my third favorite coaster of all time, behind only RMC hybrids Iron Gwazi and Steel Vengeance. So I see why it won all those awards for Best Steel Coaster. It's got a great color scheme and lighting package too, even if short daylight and park hours kept me from getting a night ride in. As a Pistons fan I'm not a big fan of the blatant ripoff of the Charlotte Hornets for the theming but it's funny they don't get any royalties and even I have to admit the logo and hexagon hive theming look pretty cool. Hell, I almost bought a 70s style ringer Fury t-shirt with colored sleeves but they didn't have it in my size. Ride ops were top notch even on opening day. I imagine they staff this one with their best people. I don't know if I'll ever find myself at Carowinds again. I probably won't go out of my way unless they build at least two more amazing coasters but this one here is worth the trip if you've never been. And if I lived around here this one would keep me coming back.

The only thing I didn't like is that it's in the same location/gym/share space for pineville crossfit. So you may or may not be distracted by that. Another con is that the class tends to have a few kids in there making it seem unorganized as you try to work around them. My first love is still MADabolic. I'm ride or die with them...BUT this is a good secondary class if MADabolic classes are full. RISE is the same concept but the intensity and movement planning is a bit lacking. Still I recommend giving it a try!!
