Thanks for posting the link. It does not look like they changed the cars that much. I was hoping that they would look more like the DL cars which would mean that I could ride this again as sitting with my legs out in front of me starting bothering my back a few years back.

I can't wait to get there to ride. This is one of our favorites. We were hoping it would not drastically change. Only 30 more days!!

According to Wikipedia, the entire track was replaced and the cars were fitted with new seating/cushioning. Those are the only changes to the actual ride. The other stuff like the new queue and the pictures at the end are cool, but the ride itself is gonna be the same...just a lil smoother.
I guess their opinion was "don't mess with a classic"

I noticed the gates they have up now...I wish they would let you put the photo on your photopass like Test Track, anyone know if it does? Also, was it me, or did it seem 'quiet' on the ride in the video?

Thanks, Lennon. Good video. Sure is dark now.
