Another crack? 'Weld indication' on Carowinds' Fury 325 

A ‘weld indication’ could be either a break or a crack on the coaster, the North Carolina Department of Labor confirmed. www.qcnews.com/news/local-news/dept-of-labor-notified-of-weld-indication-on-fury-325-at-carowinds-after-july-repairs/

This does not make them look good. I went there a week after the first crack was found, and all the rides were shut down along with the Fury. Now they found a second crack. I am so disappointed in my local park.

A Dad picking up his kids saw the crack from the parking lot. It then took an hour to shut down the coaster.

It’s not a “crack”, it’s a complete BREAK.

I’m guessing this happened because the beam is n the side of the track instead of directly underneath it (so as not to get in the way of the inversion), so you’ve got all the weight of the coaster on that small corner of the beam. Testing is one thing but it won’t accommodate for metal fatigue happening over time after thousands of runs, plus weather possibly seeping in and weakening the metal maybe. Wonder how many more coasters are designed this way.

Crack kills

I'm not surprised to hear about this, with as thoroughly as the ride is being inspected after the first incident... This might get it shut down for the rest of the season with a full rehab or rework in the future, depending upon whatever is causing this...

The problem I see with their testing, unless it's not being shown., is they don't have the weight of all the riders in the train. Looks like the cars are empty during testing. I'm no math guru, but the added rider weight should be added to the centripetal force placed on this joint.

When is the Attorney General of NC going to get involved. Either Carowinds failed to inspect the ride properly, or they simply ignored the issues here. The DOL inspectors are not always as impartial as they should be. An independent party needs to lead the Investigaton, not for a cause but why the park was negligent in both discovering and reacting to the failure. But this will not happen, because.

Final Destination 3 anyone?

Cutting corners s/a materials to erect it or horrible engineering? Take it down now

At 1.01 in the video it looks like there is a crack close to the top left hand gusset plate next to where the failed fitting has been removed?

Hopefully the don’t decide to scrap the ride

This definitely the last giga 🥺

I am gonna cry for 1 whole year straight if Carowinds scrap Fury 325

Will they be making extra inspections of Leviathan and Orion? B&M's have been so reliable that this does come as a shock to me. Flight Deck at CGA, and Medusa at SFDK are decades old and still running as smoothly as the day the opened.

They should check all the rides at that place.

They are closing fury 325 permanently. In that place they are going to build flight 350.

Close the ride. Welding aint working

Crackowinds

Finally a reason for people to be GENUINELY terrified of being on a ride... Watch the lunatics line up as soon as the crack is repaired 😂

They should be giving republicans free rides on that

TEAR IT DOWN......THE DESIGN IS OBVIOUSLY FLAWED
