- New lighting package in the load area.
- Installation of onride photo opportunity near the end of the ride.
- Video games added to the queue area.
- New queue configuration.
- Black out of the control tower windows in the load area.
- Installation of air gates at load area.
- Tweeks and refurb of the post show areas.
