Does anyone have any thoughts on this failure? I’m curious what the typical inspection schedule and process is for a roller coaster like this.

I’m also curious about the root cause of the failure. I have a guess, but it would be interesting to see an actual failure report. I don’t expect to see it in the news, though.

Here is a video of the crack moving as roller coaster cars go by.

Someone also got a photo of the crack a week prior before it had fully propagated through the support.
