I hope they don't remove the elements of the extended queue or overly modernized it. I'd prefer a freshening up, but it's got so much nostalgia to me.
Lochness: Unleashed
Worlds first interlocking loop VR coaster.

All seats will be flipped to face backward.
A newly added trailer car sporting a wooden monster head will "chase" the train through the layout.
When the wooden head eventually shears off and plunges into the Rhine, the lucky riders on that cycle will get a bonus lap, having truly tamed the Loch Ness Monster.

I for one would love to see it tied to other rides in the park, like maybe the Dark Tours expedition team could be looking for the Loch Ness monster, and the new cars could be jet skis 
I hope not.
But here's a pretty good promotional idea for New Nessie (Nextie?): the first 100 riders on its opening day get a voucher for half off the 5% surcharge on one food or drink item priced $15 or less.
Same-day use only. Vouchers must be redeemed for usable paper coupons outside the gate, at the automated kiosks at the top of the hill by the France parking lot.
*Excludes alcohol. Cannot be combined with other discounts.
They did the animatronics for Hagrids, right?
Yes. They’ve also done stuff for Super Nintendo World and Velocicoaster according to their website.
Nessie animatronic in the river? That'd be cool.
I was thinking in the cave
The train stops on a new holding brake just before exiting the cave.
A snarling Nessie animatronic appears!
It menaces riders for a few moments, before the train is launched up what was previously the second lift hill.

I might be wrong, but to me, it looks like they've just done design for those lands/attractions, not animatronics. At least from looking at their website, I can't find any mention of animatronics.
The Daily Press ran a short article covering it most notably they Quoted BGWfans

While FrankNDeisgns is there, ya know, they can do some work on Patheon.
Maybe even add taller headrests so I'm not too tall to ride it! It's such an easy fix that surely BGW will do it and raise the absurdly low height limit...right?
