I’m looking forward to reports of what changed - was this just a general spiff-up, or were there noticeable changes in scenes, narration, anything at all?

One report:

• Better video in the mammoths scene
• Improved projections throughout
• Improved animatronics throughout
• Dame Judi’s narration was removed from the prehistoric scene, replaced with “grunts”
• Minor soundtrack updates
• Lighting improvements: “The lighting was a LOT better!”
• Toned-down fire smells in Alexandria

Thanks - I’m looking forward to riding in December. I’m glad they didn’t do anything major, like they did when they replaced the performance of Oedipus Rex (in Greek) with people sitting around listening to a lecture.

Toned-down fire smells in Alexandria

Major downgrade if true IMO
