What is nice is they added a few additional scenes to the ride such as one where it looks like you are going to head off on some broken track.  The thing is they didn't have to trick out an old ride but they did because it gives their customers a more memorable experience.

That's one of the many reasons that I'm thrilled that Cedar Fair's management will be in the drivers seat when Six Flags and Cedar Fair merge sometime in 2024.  Cedar Fair gets that they need to constantly improve their parks and Six Flags has needed leadership with that sort of an attitude.
