State Officials Looking into Fury 325 Stops

The real story here is rides are highly sophisticated attractions with built in control and safety systems. Fury 325 has over 450 sensors. Much like your car, if the check engine light comes on, there may not be a problem but you eventually drive it to see a mechanic. The same thing happens with our rides but we don't wait to have our engineers take a look. The ride stops at designated locations. We realize the stoppage may be a bit of an inconvenience to the guest, but it gives our engineers a few moments to evaluate before sending riders on their way.
Once again – we'd like to reiterate these rides are performing EXACTLY as they are designed to do. We have overlapping layers of inspections for all of our rides, and work hand in hand with regulatory agencies and third party inspectors.
Fury has delivered over a quarter million rides in just five short weeks.
