Exterior on RnR?

[O4theluvaDisney]

I read from an old post on wdwmagic that last year they were either updating the exterior of the Rockin' Roller coaster or restoring it. I was just curious to see if anyone who has been at WDW recently has seen either the progress or the finished product of the updates.

Although, I won't be visiting until at least 2011, I am just really curious to know more about it. I noticed from the wdwmagic pictures included that Hanes sponsors the ride because of the added guitar pick on the front of the huge guitar. I haven't been to the World since January of 2004, so that probably was done waaay back when.

I was there in Feb this year, and didn't notice any big exterior changes... they did change the way the queue works, which was nice - seems much more efficient. Basically, the FP people don't have to go thru the whole building with everyone, but jump in right before the "studio" with the video.

Wow, thanks for the info! That does sound helpful for FP to head directly to the doors in front of the "studio," especially if it's crowded. I've always been in January or February the three years I've ever been, so the crowds are lighter than the average ones, but that is still useful for people on the go to have that step directly to the destination rather than weaving through the building (although, I think all the props and decor along the queue are fun to look at no matter how many times I ride). It saves them time by putting them right there in at the "start" of the ride, get them inside, on the ride, and to their next ride or show faster. Or, it seems that it would save a few minutes in theory.

Saw nothing going on-neither back in February, nor earlier this month.
