iCharlie Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 I think; theres not enough legroom. being tall & everything, its more hard work then enjoyment ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Yesterday during a block shutdown the "ahhh you survived" played over and over again and I was in hysterics... Anyway I love Fury and believe it to be the UK's second best steel rollercoaster. It has a few drawbacks such as the small size of the car meaning slightly poor legroom but I think the ride experience more then makes up for it. Very good ride in the face of simple layouts such as Stealth, Colossus, Rita and Air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I do like fury but I think its very over hyped and majorly depends on the weight of your car as to if you get a good or crap ride, that and I cant think of a trip to chessington where I havent seen it break down atleast once! Personally would much rather a ride on rattlesnake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 I think it's a really god coaster, and the spinning just adds to it. And the second lift hill.. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foolproof way of getting a good start is to put all the weight on the back then lean to the right. It doesn't necessarily mean the parts after Lift 2 will be spinny but you have a better chance.

Dan9 Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Fury is the best ride in the park IMO. The Spinniness is just fantastic. Ohhh yeah and its blooody intense on your first ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyciodes Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 took my first ride on fury not too long ago. I acctually really enjoyed it. Don't think it beats vampire though in cwoa. Still great ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsf Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think dragons fury at chessington is a great coaster because sometimes you get great spins and I agree about the leg room there isnt mush in the cars but still a great ride.

Mark9 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Its a spinning wild mouse not a sofa. The cars are small because of the track gauge.. any bigger and there would be to much stress of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteknuckle Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 TP Dan. I have ridden Winjas, both Force and Fear and they are a lot better than Dragon's Fury. But the Chessie version is better than Spinball and Whirlwind at Camelot.Ahhh you survived, pleeease, exit to the left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park bloke Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 When does the Skips sponsorhip end on Dragon's Fury? It's in its 5th year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 It has kind of ended. The logos on the cars were removed about a season ago, although I can't remember if there are still logos on the entrance sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Skips ended in 06 during the moohajor downtime. Or was that last year? Bugger knows. Some skips signs are still there, like on entrance. Thats it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the logo at the entrance has gone. And I'm sure it's still on the stone dragon in the queue (well that would be hard to rub that off the dragon).Skips ended in 06 during the moohajor downtime. Or was that last year? Bugger knows.

Rich Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Theme Park Bloke who cares...! If Chessington can't be bothered or can't remove some of the Skips logos for any reason then I don't think Skips will give a toss, Skips are technically getting FREE advertisements!

Theme Park bloke Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Who cares? Well I don't, but Skips might. They might not want their logos on there anymore. What's to say Skips and Tussauds might have fallen out since 2004? We don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm not too sure any company would mind getting free advertisement though, even if they did fall out. And it was 2006 they got removed, not 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
