State issues shutdown order for Carowinds' Fury 325 due to foundation issue

I'd argue that Fury is not the only reason to visit that park, but I'd be extremely disappointed if it weren't open when I visit. It is one of the greatest coasters ever built at a park that is very sterile and samey of all the other Cedar Fair legacy parks.

Crews were seen loading a crate of Magnum rumors onto a truck in Sandusky, Ohio.

Posts on X show it test running today (7/20/2025).

I mean it was already shut down, but this gives some government beaurocrat an opportunity to get his mug on TV to pretend he's doing something to save people from the evil amusement industry.

I don't know. If I want to make reinforcements to the foundation of my house, the permit requires a final inspection to make sure that the contractor did the job properly. This is probably more important to get right.

This kind of work was always going to need a final inspection from the local municipality. Whomever this politician is is just acting like he's the reason behind something that was going to happen anyway.

I look forward to some local news station there doing some sort of expose on the safety of the amusement park industry.

Is this the same coaster that had a support column break (maybe 2-3 years ago) and we saw videos that ultimately led to it being shut down for that repair?

Yes.

Fury reopened today:
