What is the tallest fastest giga coaster crack?

The amusement park's website states that Fury 325 is "the tallest, fastest, longest giga coaster in North America." The roller coaster reaches speeds of up to 95 mph and has a peak height of 325 feet, which is followed by a "dramatic 81-degree drop, the website states.



The most notable incident involving a "crack" on a world-class giga coaster refers to Fury 325 at Carowinds. In the summer of 2023, a bystander filmed a large structural crack in one of the steel support pillars as a train full of riders passed by. This led to an immediate and lengthy closure for repairs. As of 2026, the ride is fully operational and remains the tallest (325 ft) and fastest (95 mph) giga coaster in North America with a traditional lift hill. The park replaced the faulty pillar and implemented enhanced safety inspections, including the use of drones to monitor hard-to-reach structural joints. While other "giga" coasters like Steel Dragon 2000 are longer, Fury 325's "hornet-themed" sting is once again a major draw for thrill-seekers following its rigorous safety recertification.
