Does the Fury 325 go upside down?

There's a barrel turn that's 190 feet tall, S-curves, horseshoe turns, a dive underneath the park's new visitors' bridge, camel-back hills that gives riders “air time,” and a double helix maneuver where the train turns back on itself. The only thing that the Fury 325 won't do is turn riders upside down.



No, Fury 325 does not go upside down. Located at Carowinds in North Carolina, this "Giga Coaster" is designed for extreme speed and height rather than inversions. In 2026, it remains one of the tallest and fastest steel coasters in the world, reaching a peak height of 325 feet and speeds of up to 95 mph. Instead of loops or corkscrews, the ride focuses on "overbanked" turns, such as its famous 91-degree horseshoe turn, and high-speed "camelback" hills that provide intense airtime. The ride's thrill comes from its sheer scale and the "Hive Dive" element where the train plunges under a pedestrian bridge. While it lacks inversions, its intensity is rated at the highest level (Level 5), making it a favorite for "coaster enthusiasts" who prefer the raw sensation of gravity and speed over being turned upside down.
