There’s documents submitted to counties/cities where owners of properties will list the contractors hired for the year.

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?

True, but I believe GCI’s not scheduled for this upcoming offseason.

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?

It’s more than that.

It depends on which lift model you use.

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.

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).

I never said they were fabricating a piece of track and installing it in a week.

The cables were likely used to power a scissor lift under the first drop.

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.

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.

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.

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.

One could be cheaper, easier, and faster- but with a high speed ride that’s highly dynamic, do you want to introduce a new weld that been made outside of factory conditions. Furthermore, the welds doesn’t fix the source of why the crack was there originally.

I’m not saying it would be done by the end of the season, if it was a crack.

Yes, a good welder will know what he’s doing. However there are risks at working at heights. B&M has replaced a piece in the past for their coasters. With KI being so close, and the manufacturer having the CAD files, why not?

If it was a crack, and that’s a big if, they would likely replace the piece. There are so many factors at play with welding outside and at heights.

That’s not because of the ride, it’s because of when COVID struck.

The ladders at the site are an indication of trackwork.

The boards were in a place (bottom of the first drop, that would only mean trackwork.

Even then, you have to test the ride.

Nope, it looks to be more track work as there were ladders at the bottom of the first drop.
