Fury 325 is a steel roller coaster located at Carowinds amusement park in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.

The ride reaches a top speed of 95 mph (153 km/h), winding through high-speed curves and passing over and under the park's main entrance.

In September 2012, the Charlotte City Council discussed plans for a proposed roller coaster in one of its meetings.

[11] Carowinds officially announced Fury 325 on August 22, 2014, at an event held at the park's Harmony Hall Marketplace.

[13] By October 22, the majority of the brake run was complete; two days later the final pieces for the section were put into place.

[22][23] Fury 325 suffered a setback in the summer of 2023 when a large crack on one of the ride's support pillars was spotted by a park bystander.

[26] The park also enhanced its safety inspection procedures,[27] and the investigation later determined that "unidirectional bending fatigue" was to blame,[28] which caused a crack to form along the weld line of the pillar.

The humming sound of a hornet is played twice during the ascent – once at the beginning and a second time after a voice announces safety directions to the riders.

After passing over the park's north entrance, the train makes a banked turn to the left leading into a 157-foot (48 m) high horseshoe.

Due to the ride's height and proximity to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, the park had to receive approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to build the attraction.

[34][43][44] Its maximum speed of 95 mph (153 km/h) ties it with Steel Dragon 2000 for being the fastest among roller coasters with a traditional lift hill.

"[52] Arthur Levine from About.com (now Dotdash Meredith) stated that the roller coaster will make an impression at the front of the park.

[53] Fury 325 claimed the Best New Ride of 2015 from the 2015 Golden Ticket Awards (GTA), ranking fourth overall among steel coasters.

[54] It was voted the best overall steel roller coaster in the same awards publication the following year,[55] and it has retained the top position ever since.

[29][30] A replacement column was fabricated by B&M, and additional safety inspection procedures were added, which included the use of drones for "hard-to-reach areas".

[27] Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson reported that photos taken earlier indicate the crack may have started to form 6–10 days prior to June 30.

[26] The Charlotte Observer obtained documents from the North Carolina Department of Labor on March 15, 2024, which showed through metallurgical failure analysis that the fracture was caused by "the result of unidirectional bending fatigue".
