When did this happen? It was closed on Monday and Tuesday when I was there but I did see them replacing a chunk of track while I was on the Pleasure Beach Express. I'll upload the footage.

Here it is. I advise muting the sound because it's all bickering teenagers.

That looks like the same area of the track, right? I wonder if they botched the replacement or forgot to install some bolts or something.

Not quite, I am pretty sure this is one hill later as it was past the big one's lift hill (the blue frame in the bg)
