Ride details

The highest point of Fury is 43 meters and the track is 600 meters long, but the total distance during the ride is 830 meters. The top speed is 106.6 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest roller coaster inside Benelux.[1][2] The track is not contiguous and can be done in forward or backward direction.[3] In the base station, the train rides to a start platform. Depending on the vote of the passengers the ride will be done in forward/backward direction the platform turns 90 degrees to the left or to the right.

Forward

In the assumption the train goes in the forward direction. The train is launched forwards and stops approximately in the middle of the first slope. It then goes backwards and speeds up. It goes up an upgoing bending dead end track. Next it goes down and will now have speed enough the go over the top hat. This followed by a wraparound corkscrew and a Finnish loop.[4] The train goes up another dead end bending track and will then roll back to the end platform. The end platform turns 90 degrees and the train will ride into the base station.

Backward

In the assumption the train goes in the backward direction. The train is launched backwards and stops approximately in the middle of the first slope. It then goes forwards and speeds up. It goes up an upgoing bending dead end track. Next it goes down and will now have speed enough the go over the top hat. This followed by a wraparound corkscrew and a Finnish loop. The train goes up another dead end bending track and will then roll back to the end platform. The end platform turns 90 degrees and the train will ride into the base station.
