I understand the logic and reasoning but I don't know that it's practical as there can be flooding in that area and at least at one point there was an emergency pump system in place down there.

Do I spy the entrance to or exit from a loop? 
Excellent photo.

We’re all such nerds and the comment above just made me so happy lol
They really are downright faithful to the original track. It’s uncanny.
It’s so odd to be seeing new arrow track just rolling down the highway haha
I have a very rough concept for a redo of the ride entrance… I think it would help people know that the ride is refreshed and it would be very eye-catching to draw people over.
…thoughts?

I assume this is since they arent retracking the whole ride. Otherwise a more off the shelf style would make sense.
I'm afraid after this past weekend's lack of success finding the real Loch Ness Monster, we might be looking at a retheme. I'm hoping for the Legendary Skunk Ape!
More track was rolling down 64 this afternoon it would be really nice to know when they plan to close it for the work to start.
My sources say it will begin next year. And preparations will begin during Christmas Town.
I'd expect Loch Ness to run through Howl-o-Scream like normal. The kind of work being done to the ride is essentially like building a new ride from the ground up. They're not going to start tearing down until HOS is over so the park's ride capacity at a maximum during the busiest time of the year.
Tons of work is being done beyond just getting track delivered. It's definitely well under way, but the ride should not close early this season.

Likely due to permits needed for working on / near the pipeline?
