This is my favorite coaster from the park. The first time I rode it, it had the Italian Job theming.
Not big news but they are doing some pretty significant retracking of Grizzly. I couldn't tell if it was GG or GCI, although they mentioned on their blog that they will have an upcoming interview with the group doing the work soon. I have heard that Grizzly is pretty rough (haven't been on it since 1993) and so, if they can retrack like The Beast or add TitanTrack like on Predator or Wolverine, it seems that will be a huge win for the coaster.
One of the first "big" coasters I ever went on as a kid, and I loved it so much. Really would love to get back to KD and experience all those great memories again. Glad that they're re-tracking it and not just ditching the ride.Not big news but they are doing some pretty significant retracking of Grizzly.

Im guessing GCI
Talking with a friend who works at the park, the gut feeling is Gravity Group. While they can see either company doing the refurb, Gravity Group makes a lot of sense considering all the trackwork they've done at KI for The Racer and the Beast.
Confirmed to be The Gravity Group. Retracking, using TGG's engineered pre-cut wood, increasing the angle on the first hill from 45 to 55 degrees and other overall ride improvements.
