WBTV is reporting that a live feed appears to show Carowinds conducting test runs on its famous Fury 325 roller coaster, weeks after it was shut down due to crack in a support beam. Video captured on June 30 revealed the crack in the beam, prompting the park to immediately close the ride for an indefinite amount of time. This past Thursday, a replacement beam arrived at the park. It has since been installed.
Carowinds officials stated in a previous update that after the new beam was installed, the ride would undergo at least 500 test runs before it is reopened to the public. The North Carolina Department of Labor has also been involved in the reopening process, and said the ride will remain closed as long it takes to ensure that it is safe when passengers return.
