I do realize that but, to those of us that view the destruction and reimagining of ToT is a huge mistake it is like a smack in the face (hyperbole). The fact that they are billing a completely dark ride is because they are closing the openings in ToT to make changes for the new ride. This is so they can keep the ride running and bill the fact that there will be no effects or view of the park as a "good" thing because it is different. Less, but different.
Riding during a refurb never sounded so great.
