  1. Elitch won’t close. The park is owned by a spouse to a heir of the Walton family. The owner has a history of having his businesses get their way (LA Rams for example). If anything the city will relocate them. Furthermore, with this pandemic, the housing community might not proceed as originally anticipated.
  2. It looks like this turned out to be Ash Bore and some sitework by the future site of the dorm complex. Speaking of The Bat queue, would it be better if there were trees and TV’s by the old monorail crossing?
  3. I know. I’m kind of kicking myself for not sharing them. I did share one of the survey stations. This along with the drainage runoff improvements by The Beast indicated that there was a large ride coming into the park. Similar steps were done for Fury and Yukon Striker.
  4. The funny thing is, around this time, there were surveys being done for this plot of land. Along with the markers that popped up a few weeks later. I never shared these to kic. Rereading this thread, there were a lot of clues pointing to something large being built. New drainage system, strengthening surrounding rides, markers, and survey stations. I must admit the ride they built there was the perfect ride for the park.
  5. It’s looking like it’ll be a partial rebuild of The Racer. For those wondering what I mean, check Racer 75 at KD, a large portion was rebuilt.
  6. There’s documents submitted to counties/cities where owners of properties will list the contractors hired for the year.
  7. Last weekend, I tried out several of the Tricks and Treats offerings. When I tried out the churro at Hanks, it came with a sauce similar to Boysenberry at Knotts Berry Farm. Did anyone else try the churro?
  8. True, but I believe GCI’s not scheduled for this upcoming offseason.
  9. Over the course of the last week, it seems new construction materials were dropped off at the park (large crates of lumber). Any thoughts on what this is for?
  10. Take a look at KI’s newest event: 

     

  11. It depends on which lift model you use.
  12. They are occasionally plugged in. Furthermore, I’m never said they would replace a piece in a week. You’re misquoting me which is rude.
  13. True, however, the area where we saw the work being done has no sensors (the sensors for the section between lift top and brake entrance are on the top of the lift, not the bottom of the drop).
  14. I never said they were fabricating a piece of track and installing it in a week.
  15. The cables were likely used to power a scissor lift under the first drop.
  16. The wires underneath were external wires only. They had nothing to do with the ride. The area in question is the bottom of the first drop, where there are ladders and boards strewn about.
  17. I should have said I’m not the one to introduce the notion of it being a crack. With the work being done where there are no motors, no sensors, and no electrical equipment, it’s hard not to deduce that.
  18. I’m assuming it was a hairline stress fracture if there a crack produced during the manufacturing of the piece. If they did a second piece it would be unlikely be there in the second go. I never assumed it was trackwork. Someone mentioned a Reddit post in an earlier comment.
  19. They can easily pull up the specifications for that specific piece. Since the manufacturers know the dimensions of the piece, they can easily build a new one. The track section in question lies beneath a support.
