I am not there, but people in the Facebook group don't seem to think so.
No changes in queue signage even?

So it seems Universal took a page from Disney's playbook by upgrading some lighting. Luckily they skipped the other 99 pages where the ride is closed for 5 months.As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time with this ride, I can say there have been some vast improvements in lighting. Every physical set has been made brighter, as to match with the brightness of the projected scenes. There's one new lighting cue in particular that works really well:
After Harry is knocked off his broom and you fall in to the Chamber of Secrets, the first dementor scene is in complete darkness and is only revealed with a neon green glow until it's right in your face. Completely surprised me and startled someone who's been on this ride thousands of times well enough.
That's the best scare I've gotten in any ride ever...brilliantAs someone who has spent a considerable amount of time with this ride, I can say there have been some vast improvements in lighting.

It's funny, I wonder if this was the original intention that just got toned down over the years... I remember on my first ride on 7/4/08, that very effect scared the ever loving crap out of me. Glad to hear its efficacy has been enhanced.
But the ride didn't open until 2010 :huh:
The effect does sound awesome though. Hopefully it's still like this next month.
Cool. For a sec I thought you were on the Back to the Future version of FJ where Michael Fox hits on Hermonie. . :thumbsup:Sorry, 2010. Already getting dates confused. The year it opened, in any a case!
Lol same hereYeah, the first few times I rode when the ride first opened in 2010 the first few Dementor scenes always scared the crap outta me. Now that I know when they're coming, not so much. Looking forward to sampling the new lighting, maybe it'll start to scare me again lol
