Has Fury 325 ever gotten stuck?

In April 2015, a lever malfunction caused Fury 325 riders to become stuck.



While Fury 325 at Carowinds hasn't traditionally "stuck" in a way that endangers passengers, it made global headlines in June 2023 for a significant structural failure. A park visitor filmed a massive crack in one of the steel support pillars that completely separated as a train passed over it. The ride was closed for over a month while the pillar was replaced and the ride underwent 500 test cycles. In terms of "stalling," modern coasters like Fury 325 are designed with fail-safe braking systems that may stop a train on the lift hill or mid-course brake run due to sensor alerts. In 2026, the ride operates with enhanced safety protocols, including daily drone inspections to monitor the structural integrity of welds in hard-to-reach areas.
