CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An amusement park visitor in North Carolina discovered a crack
in the support pillar of a rollercoaster while people were on the ride.

Jeremy Wagner posted to Facebook on Friday that he discovered the crack on
Carowinds Fury 325 giga roller coaster and notified officials at the amusement
park, who temporarily closed down the ride.




A spokesperson for Carowinds, which is located outside of Charlotte, told Fox
News Digital that the park's maintenance team is conducting an inspection of the
ride while it's closed.

Jared Ream, a roller coaster enthusiast, attributes his weight loss success to
focusing on a tangible goal.



"Carowinds closed Fury 325 after park personnel became aware of a crack at the
top of a steel support pillar. The park’s maintenance team is conducting a
thorough inspection and the ride will remain closed until repairs have been
completed. Safety is our top priority and we appreciate the patience and
understanding of our valued guests during this process. As part of our
comprehensive safety protocols, all rides, including Fury 325, undergo daily
inspections to ensure their proper functioning and structural integrity," the
spokesperson said.
