Not much, basically freshened up and new paint.

Nothing new? Did they update the cave in rocks in the tunnel that used to move....or add the dynamite effects that DL got? AND can anyone confirm if they now have photos taken that show up on photopass on BTM? I so missed it a few weeks ago and guess I have to get back to enjoy it sooner than later.

News is confirmed through a few outlets that it did not get the DL updates. I had wondered if it would. The DLR and DLP BTMRR's closures were 13 months when they got those updates (but they also go new tracks), WDW seems reluctant to shut down BTMRR or SM or anything similar for that long.

I didn't get a chance to ride it yet. My understanding is there is a water geyser that goes up much more. nobody could confirm if they fixed the falling rocks effect that's been broken for a long time.

Other than that. they just spruced it up, but in hard railings for the entrance queue, a new ADA compliant ramp down into the smoking section.. things I can see without going on it.

Rocks are not fixed and likely never will be.

Rode tonight, such a good night ride.

Selected it at 3pm for a 4th FP+ for tonight.

Came back for it, Wishes and the new Castle projection which was very cool.

Not much different, smoother though, some cheap bats in the beginning, rocks were moving, colorful geyser and colorful mountains now.

Bats were there before the refurb, they just painted them and threw a bunch of blacklights on them

Is the yeti buried under the rocks?
