Does the fury have a crack in it?

A second break or crack was found on Fury 325 during the inspection process following the replacement of a support beam, officials said. Here's what we know.



As of 2026, Fury 325 at Carowinds does NOT have a crack. The massive, viral crack that was discovered in a steel support pillar in June 2023 was fully repaired and the entire pillar was replaced by the manufacturer, B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard). Following the repair, the ride underwent weeks of rigorous testing, including running over 500 "cycles" with water-filled test dummies and passing a comprehensive inspection by the North Carolina Department of Labor. The coaster officially reopened on August 10, 2023, and has been operating safely ever since. For 2026 riders, the park has implemented enhanced daily inspection protocols and high-resolution camera monitoring of the track structure to ensure the "World's Best Steel Coaster" remains in peak condition. You can ride the 325-foot drop today with full confidence, as the "crack" is now just a footnote in the ride’s history and a testament to the effectiveness of vigilant guest reporting.
