I do as well. Sort of surprised nothing is changing even with the new CBS Twilight Zone production coming up.

Yay!
Anyone know if Tower still uses the legacy UOE wire system? If so, if it were my refurbishment, I’d take this time to at least upgrade to pucks. If it already uses the circa-2000 pucks, I’d tell the Ratatouille, Mickey & Minnie, and ROTR crews to order an extra round of the latest generation of equipment for me. And then I’d also sync up all the effects.

It won’t. This one’s been planned for a while.

Tower deserves some love! I love Tower.
Glad I nabbed my FPs because I know that line is slow moving when it is half working.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
What are some of those missing effects? I'm curious!

Good on the Tower! A little TLC is a good thing, and better now than when the park is a madhouse in the fall.

Hopefully we'll be getting our foggy boiler room back, I've been waiting for that for awhile now!

I wonder if drop profile randomization will return. That hasn't been running for a while, right?

What effects have gone missing over the years?
Rode it last week, and it was not in good shape. The fact that they can't wait on this until after SWGE shows how bad it deteriorated.
They couldn't take it fully down for rehab because they have to be able to justify that 3 digit admission ticket cost, in a still half closed park.

I think quite the opposite -- they realize they are going to be woefully short on capacity once SWGE opens and need to move this forward, if anything, to make sure they have all the capacity to muster once it does open.

LOL... I haven't been to HS in absolutely ages (2012). Even then, it was a quick in/out type deal (yay, hoppers). I don't see that changing until this fall at the earliest.
