The Wilderness Run Rollercoaster at Kentucky Kingdom Theme Park, Louisville, Kentucky

What Gravity Group did was to re-track the first drop.

The first drop was re-profiled to make it steeper which allowed them to add a small bunny hop between the bottom of the first drop and the turn.  To do this The Gravity Group used their engineered precut wooden track.  This will allow the park to quickly replace any track that gets rough as all they need to do is order a replacement part and pop it into place.  Chances are they won't have to replace track very often as The Gravity Group claims that their engineered precut wooden track is up to thirty times stronger than traditional wooden track.
