Carowinds shuts down rollercoaster after large crack on support beam reported
A rollercoaster ride at Carowinds is closed until further notice after a large crack on a support beam was reported to park employees.
WCNC Charlotte viewer Jeremy Wagner shared photos and a video of the crack on the Fury 325 coaster late Friday night. The video shows the ride running at one point, with the affected part of the beam visibly moving as the coaster cars run on the track it supports.
Wagner said he shared the video with park officials at the guest services center and was later told the ride was shut down. A spokesperson for Carowinds confirmed that when WCNC Charlotte reached out.
The park did not provide a timeline for when the Fury 325 may re-open.
