Rode this today, they did nothing visually. Animatronics still dont work in the original doll section. If anything they made show lighting way too bright in some spots, but that was all. Its still looking old and tired. This refurb must have been strictly operating issues, certainly not show quality. It has also been down a lot today off and on. The one and only plus I noticed is the tunnel cartoon screen is not as loud as it use to be blaring out into san angel inn, its been adjusted.

Also the new volcano smoke projection is way too cartoony fakey, but I guess that's what they were going for? Its a big white bright blob that is noticeable as soon as you walk in the building.
Man what ride did you ride because this looks fantastic

sorry but from what I experienced the lighting was way too bright, things still not working, and nothing changed in terms of effects except the various screens quality look better and of course the animatronics in the finale I think they did a lot of work on. Some of the figures in the children section still not working and havent been touched, I dont think they touched anything up with paint or props etc, same dusty old plants etc. Im nitpicking of course, but the videos dont really show these details especially the blinding spotlights lighting the rooms and scenes which for me anyway, detracts from the atmosphere might as well have the house lights on. Just my opinion.

I do know when it first reopened, it wasn’t at 100%. Some effects have been fixed since then. Of course, lighting being too bright is subjective.

Decent touch up overall but here are a few of my observations from yesterday. Loading area has spots on each of them. The outside two are bright white and the middle is a yellow white. Picky. But. Simple to fix! Saw one animatronic not working and much of the lighting overall was too bright IMO. It was nice to see the scum line gone at the bases of the sets though 🙂. Really not too bad. Nice to see this attraction get some love.
