    They've obviously fired all of their details people.

    Did they bother to dust while it was closed?

    A good refresh if not still a bit too quiet and boring post finale where I feel like another scene could go but I didn't expect major changes here. Seems more colorful for lack of a better quantifer. Still think COCO is doable or a better Three Caballeros throughline, Especially in the age of LLs. But this is fine.

    Still a couple of bits that need sorting (one of the AA's not moving at all for example) but overall looks like a decent refresh. Although give it a few days and I'm sure someone will complain about 'Golfo de Mexico' at the end of the ride.

    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.

    I'm sure it was for the AA's..Most of them in the town section hardly moved... Or the conveyor belt for the boats at loading & unloading had wear and tear

    Are CMs reporting any changes?
