Originally Published 2 years ago — by USA TODAY
An investigation by North Carolina's Department of Labor revealed that a crack in Carowinds' Fury 325 roller coaster had been visible for at least a week before the ride was shut down. The park plans to replace the support column and conduct tests to ensure the safety and integrity of the roller coaster. The Department of Labor is still investigating how the crack occurred and why the ride remained open after the crack was visible. The park has not announced a reopening date for the ride.
