i can’t lie, seeing none of the theming has been touched in this section is a little concerning to me… i pray that those god awful “projection mapping” parts have been removed, ESPECIALLY that effect just before the elevator lift and the tv screen in the lift…

Pretty sure they’re working on the physical track component replacements  before worrying about the theming

i mean that’s true but it’s been closed coming up to 3 years (even if it wasn’t planned to close as early as it did), and it’s meant to be opening in the coming months… i hope they’ve touched more theming then we can see.

Not new, part of the Next Gen additions 

I was gonna say, that was 100% not there in 2012 when I worked at the park and did regular morning track walks of Scooby. So yeah, part of the next gen "upgrade" to tie in with the lift sequence ft. Scrappy Doo.

Except for what I believe is new theming at the very back where the awful screen was

Don't think so, here's a pic from Coaster Studios' tour after it closed

I was cautiously optimistic of the ride returning to the opening (of the ride) standard when this was announced, but after Oz and various visible maintenance/upkeep issues around the park I don’t have faith anymore.

I’m not even confident it will open this year tbh.

Have to agree with you. My expectations are way low now.

Dont forget brake upgrades plus a control system upgrade too. Thats a big one that takes hundreds of hours of testing.

Its a hard pill to swallow when a rollercoaster can be built in a year, but it takes 3 years to rebuild. 

From what I understand, they had planned on upgrades with Mack and had booked their build slot - which I believe was supposed to be after WoZ opened - but the ride had to be closed earlier than planned - the build slot couldn't be moved up, so the 3 years has just been waiting on Mack to deliver in the timeframe previously locked in. 

I believe they've taken the time to improve other bits and pieces (and all the cars are getting replaced too, I think?), so there is a lot being done - but the time it has taken is much longer than actually required - which may set some false expectations.
