Here’s a pretty good explanation of what could have led to the crack on Fury 325.
Interesting analysis, it does make you wonder why the support was shaped that way at all.
B&M is pretty secretive in their engineering so it’s possible that this guy doesn’t know the internals and those make a big difference
Lol I watched TPP’s video and he was saying it’ll be open in 2 weeks and I rolled my eyes. I’d assume this guy is closer, but who knows maybe they’ll get it up quick
TPP is… Fun. He can be entertaining but it seems like most of the time there’s very little basis for his claims.
I think this is going to take a while though I will admit that Carowinds has more motivation than most parks to get this up fast because a lot of people will skip the entire park if 325 is closed. Maybe they can fabricate a new piece quickly but 2 weeks is an insane claim
Interestingly they welded steel plates onto the support similar to Goliath which leaves me questioning if they are doing it to run the ride while they fabricate a new support or if they just want to hold everything together to keep stress off of other parts.
