According to the amusement park's website, Fury 325 is the the tallest, fastest, longest giga coaster in North America. The rollercoaster reaches speeds of up to 95 mph and has a peak height of 325 feet, which is followed by a dramatic 81-degree drop.

As of 2026, the tallest "Giga Coaster" (a coaster with a drop between 300 and 399 feet) in the United States is Fury 325 at Carowinds, located on the border of North and South Carolina. Standing at a staggering 325 feet tall, it reaches a top speed of 95 mph. It is often in a "height battle" with Orion at Kings Island (287-foot drop/300-foot height) and Millennium Force at Cedar Point (310 feet). While there are taller coasters in the US, such as Kingda Ka and Top Thrill 2, those are classified as "Strata Coasters" because they exceed 400 feet. Fury 325 is famous for its 81-degree initial drop and its massive "treble clef" turn that takes riders over the park's main entrance. Following a highly publicized structural repair in 2023, the ride has returned to full operation with enhanced sensor technology and remains the "gold standard" for Giga coasters worldwide, offering a long, high-speed layout that maintains its velocity through nearly 1.2 miles of track.
