For the third time in just over a week witnesses told WSOC that Carowinds' newest thrill ride got stuck mid-ride.
Park goer Aimee Eudy said Fury 325 became stuck Saturday as soon as she got off of the ride.
The ride appeared to be stuck at the top of a steep incline. A park official did not know if riders were on Fury 325 at the time.
WSOC reached out to Carowinds and a spokesperson said the ride stopped because a safety mechanism detected a problem.

A spokesperson previously described safety mechanisms that are set up to automatically stop the ride if a problem is detected.
Eudy said she witnessed the ride stall more than once.
"I was debating whether I was going to get on it or not because it's a scary thing when it gets stuck when you're in the line and then it gets stuck directly after you get off. It's a scary thing," Eudy said.
WSOC flew over the ride on Friday after reports that it was stuck.
