“Safety is our top priority and we appreciate the patience and understanding of our valued guests during this process,” spokesperson Courtney Weber wrote in a statement to The Post. “As part of our comprehensive safety protocols, all rides, including Fury 325, undergo daily inspections to ensure their proper functioning and structural integrity.”
A season pass holder, Wagner, 45, arrived at Carowinds Friday morning with his 14-year-old daughter, 12-year-old niece, his son and his son’s friend, who are both 13. The five-person crew spent the next several hours going on rides, taking a break for lunch midafternoon, and then hitting more rides. By the end of the day, his daughter and niece had ridden the Fury 325 eight times; his son and his friend had been on it three or four times.
Wagner scanned the support systems of other rides to support that notion but saw nothing else like it. He turned his attention back to the Fury 325 as another car hit the turn. This time, he saw light shooting through the expanded crack before the car passed and the crack contracted. He knew something was wrong.Article content“I was like, ‘Y’all need to shut this ride down. That’s bad news,'” Wagner recalled telling the man.
“The biggest thing for me, there was no sense of urgency,” he said. Carowinds did not immediately respond late Sunday night to a request for comment on Wagner’s allegation about a lack of urgency.
