I think the best thing would have been to completely scrap this ride. It looks horribly tacky. Going by the concept art it doesn't look like the re-theming will make it much better.
The area around it looks like it will be quite nice though. :)
It really doesn't look like much, does it?
This ride is a blast, though, and always has a crowd. It's fast, with dips and turns that always put a smile on my face. My son's, too. He'll ride it over and over as a single rider.
I look forward to the changes. Even though this and the swings (soon to be the Silly Symphony Swings) aren't new, a fresh look can be wonderful.
