Fury 325 vs Oblivion

Vintage is the reversed stat — the older ride wins. Every number here is the same one printed on the card; see /methodology for how Build Cost and Throughput are sourced.

The verdict

Fury 325 shades it 3–2. Close enough that calling the wrong stat hands the round over.

Fury 325 is a steel Giga Coaster coaster at Carowinds, US, built by Bolliger & Mabillard. Oblivion is a steel Dive Coaster coaster at Alton Towers, GB, built by Bolliger & Mabillard.

They come from the same drawing office: Bolliger & Mabillard. That makes the gaps below a question of brief and budget rather than engineering house style.

Both are steel-track, so nothing here is the usual steel-versus-wood argument in disguise.

Stat by stat

• Height goes to Fury 325 at 325 ft against 65 ft — in another class entirely.
• Speed goes to Fury 325 at 95 mph against 68 mph — a long way clear.
• Inversions splits them not at all: both read 0.
• Throughput goes to Oblivion at 1,900 rph against 1,470 rph — well clear.
• Build Cost goes to Fury 325 at 30 $m against 20 $m — a long way clear.
• 17 years separate them, and because Vintage rewards age it is Oblivion (1998) that banks the point, not Fury 325 (2015).
