Fury 325 edit
... that reaching a height of 325 feet (99 m) and a maximum speed of 95 miles per hour (153 km/h), Fury 325 will become the world's tallest giga coaster and will tie with Steel Dragon 2000 for the world's fastest giga coaster when it opens in 2015 at the Carowinds amusement park?

Article is sufficiently new, long enough, and within policy (neutral/cites sources/no copyvio). QPQ is done. I don't like the hook though. First of all, it is wordy and too long (well over 200 characters). Second, saying that something will be the tallest giga coaster (a dubious marketing term, which itself has a top limit) is not that interesting. The fact is dubious because there are several coasters (e.g., Tower of Terror II) which have a taller heights but are still under 400 ft. I would just say that it will be the tallest non-launched coaster and be done. IronGargoyle (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
