A few notes from my two rides today...
-Imhotep I is back, and while that awful lighting package is still a thing, he's moving a bit better than he was the last time I saw him in October.
-WTF did they do to Reggie? I understand he got cleaned up but he looks awful/goofy. He's got cartoon eyes that make literally zero sense (they also don't blink) and a dumb, gaping mouth that doesn't move at ALL during his spiel. This is barely an animatronic anymore.
-Treasure Room looked nice today, all of the warriors came up on cue and were sufficiently hidden before their appearance.
-Scarabs room is still too bright, no water spraying at all.
-The turntable scene is AWFUL. Seriously, it's the worst I've EVER seen it. You could very clearly see the projector, the illuminated portion of the screen, the catwalks above you, the safety rails surrounding you, the turntable mechanism itself... it reeked of terrible show, I have no idea why these lights are being left on but it needs to stop. (And before someone says my eyes were adjusted to the darkness, they weren't. I came through the single riders line in broad daylight and had issues getting up the steps without bumping into anything.)
-That said, the launch animation looks spectacular... was this projector replaced or upgraded recently? Imhotep's head here is now super bright, detailed, and blessed with clarity, I was very impressed and pleasantly surprised.
-All of the flashing coaster mummies timing was off - about a second too early.
-Excessive work lights were on below in the Coffee with Fraiser scene at the end; you could clearly see the concrete floor and fences below you, along with associated trash. No, Kong's head is definitely not down there.
