We are currently unsure exactly how Carowinds will repair this newly discovered "weld indication" and when Fury 325 will be able to reopen but trust that it will be repaired as quickly as possible and testing will then resume by the North Carolina Department of Labor to ensure the full safety inspection is passed and Fury 325 can then operate again as soon as possible. Additionally, as is customary, we conduct test cycles to ensure its smooth operation before guests are allowed on the ride."įrom this statement we learn that a "full maintenance review" is being conducted and Carowinds appears to be playing down the news of the 2nd break or crack saying it is " not uncommon to discover slight weld indications in various locations of a steel superstructure." The key point is that these weld indications " do not compromise the structural integrity or safety of the ride." Once a repair is completed, it undergoes inspection and approval before the ride is deemed operational.
When such indications are found, we conduct non-destructive testing to determine the appropriate remedy. It is important to note that these indications do not compromise the structural integrity or safety of the ride.
During such reviews, it is not uncommon to discover slight weld indications in various locations of a steel superstructure. This maintenance review – which is consistent with routine off-season procedures – includes a review of the steel superstructure, the trains, and the ride control system. We are conducting a full maintenance review of Fury 325 during this testing process. Upon completion of this phase, the ride will undergo final inspections by the ride manufacturer, a third-party testing firm, and the North Carolina Department of Labor's Elevator and Amusement Device Bureau, all aimed at preparing Fury 325 for its reopening. Each step of the process is under careful monitoring, with remedial action taken to ensure the structure's safety and integrity. "Carowinds continues to conduct a comprehensive series of detailed tests and inspections in preparation for the reopening of Fury 325. UPDATE August 1 - We can now update you with the official statement released by Carowinds regarding the second "weld indication," which " could be either a break or a crack." This has appeared on the press release page of the Carowinds website:
