KI's good and not-so-good decisions
I know that I have seen (both photos and in person) one of the tombstones at Haunt that has Recar on it.

Coronavirus Impacting Theme Parks
Also, I may be mistaken here, but I believe if someone voluntarily provides proof of vaccination, that is not any type of violation. HIPPA only really comes in to play when that type of information is given out without consent of the individual. Hence why you have to sign all of the forms giving permission for the doctors to tell immediate family member of any condition, should you choose. Regarding rights, I believe it has been discussed at length in other topics what we are, and are not, entitled to as patrons of the park.

Possible KI Winterfest?
Just my 2 cents here, but I feel that if we were going to get a special event, then we wouldn't have gotten the video message at the end of the season. I would have been much more likely to hope for something like what Carowinds is doing had that message not been distributed.

Could Infinity Flyers replace current Millennium Flyers?
This^^^^^. I wish that, especially given the seat belts as a secondary restraint, that the lap bar could just be an "L" shape, with the anchor in the middle, as opposed to the current "U" shape. This would still give two independent lap bars, but not have them so tight width-wise....

I'm pretty sure the second loop needed to be a little lower than the first loop, so the train could keep enough momentum. You can see it in @Waltny's photo on the previous page. I may be wrong, but I do believe that is still the second loop.

Weatherbug cam is still working for me. Also, per the arrow, I think the second loop is still standing for now....

Very Interesting! Given that, there may be a round internal alignment bar that gets put into this pocket as the two sections are put together. This would keep the rails aligned very well.....

Throughout the construction, I have noticed welding arcs at the bases of each support. I believe it is as @PKIDelirium stated above, and the welding of the anchor nuts to the footer studs. Also, it appears that the supports on the drop are still in place, at least the closer one (it's all I can make out right now).
