Fury 325 is a steel roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, Fury 325 opened as the world's tallest giga coaster on March 28, 2015. It features 6,602 feet (2,012 m) of track and a maximum height of 325 feet (99 m), which ranks it as the third-tallest roller coaster in the world and the tallest overall that uses a traditional lift hill. The ride reaches a maximum speed of 95 mph (153 km/h), winding through high-speed curves and passing by the park's main entrance.
Fury 325 was the Best New Ride of 2015 in the annual Golden Ticket Awards published by Amusement Today, and since 2016, it has consistently ranked as the world's best steel coaster in the same annual publication. A major issue with a support column was identified in the summer of 2023, leading to a lengthy closure during an investigation and subsequent repairs.
