Fury 325 - Engineering Analysis and Response

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.
