A visitor to an amusement park in North Carolina noticed a crack in a roller coaster's support post while people were riding it. Jeremy Wagner posted on social media that he discovered a crack in the structure of the Fury 325 at the amusement park and notified officials, who temporarily closed the attraction.

A large crack, at least thirty centimeters long, was found in the upper part of the steel support post, and the administration does not name the reason for its possible appearance and the timing of the troubleshooting.
